14 days since germination, I have moved the plant from the smaller pot into a bigger pot.
The plant is now developing real set of leaves.
It hasn't been growing much in height as when I transferred the plant into the bigger pot I sank it into the ground in order to let it develop more roots.
I will from now on move the lighting from 24/24 to 20/4.
Any feedback, please let me know, critics/advises are always welcome :)
The plant is now going on its third week.
I have switched the lights from 24/24 to 20/4.
Growth is nice and smooth.
Will start by the end of the week to add some nutriments and will start to smoothly trellising the plant.
Considering it is an auto strain do you believe it is worth cutting the apex or better off working on one big cola ?
If anybody has tried out both and has an input on this, this will be much appreciated :)
you should aim for a great side branch development before considering topping autoflowers.Since most of them go into flowering after just 2-3 weeks of veg,you can do any training within that period.But, if a plant is growing below optimal rate,weak and less side branching,then you definitely should avoid stress methods like topping.If your plant has good development,good branching and in week 2-4 and still not completely in flowering,you could consider topping.But again,aim for max growth of side branches before topping as it will remove your main cola,divide it into two colas that would be equal to that single cola.Those side branches will overcome any downsides/loss of yield by topping if one occurs.If branching is weak,topping won't do magic and you'll be losing yields.As first preflowers appeared on your plant,I wouldn't top it.Just leave it the way it grows will be fine.
Plant is now starting to enter into the streching stage, it has gained over 17cm within 7 days to now reach 30cm in height.
Pistils have now popped up between the main branch and the subsidairies branches.
I expect blooming within a week or so.
I have as well decided not to cut the apex to give it a go, I might grow another White Widow Auto later one and use another technic in order to know which one is the most efficient.
The plant has now entered into the flowering stage. Pistils can be clearly seen where buds will grow.
It has streched to 50cm on the day of its 5th week (20cm within 7days).
Not much to do this week, just enjoying to see my girl growing day by day.
I am assuming next week will be her last week of growth before starting to seriously flower.
Pretty impressed by the size of the plant that has now reached 74cm, Royal Queen Seeds estimated the height for an indoor automatic white whidow somewhere between 40cm to 80cm, might end up to be somewhere close to it by next week.
Flowering is now really starting, trichomes are now visible on the leaves surrounding the buds.
