Going into week 4 the main stalks haven't really thickened up much but they are stiff and strong. I have increased my light distance in order to promote some more stretching as well as introduced the flowering spectrum for a little bit each day for the same reason. Nothing crazy to feed this week, just fresh water PH'd to 6.5 and the occasional misting to keep the top soil moist. My environment has been pretty steady and the color on my ladies is fine. Plant #2 has shown 1st signs of flowering which is concerning because it's only maybe 3 inches tall ... I think my soil might be the problem here. It could just be a dwarf, but both plants are showing signs of slow growth so I think the roots may not like something about this "whipped together" soil mix. I really don't have access to a lot of stuff around here, especially during the fall/winter months, so I will have to wait until spring to get my hands on some fresh Canadian Sphagnum Peat and Worm Castings to amend a new mix. This has been more of a 1st grow experiment, nonetheless, so I am not being too hard on myself and am going to ride these ladies out until harvest. I am going to go easy on the H2O this week to see if the root systems establish a bit better in a dryer medium.
Started LST on plant #1 given the 1st signs of side growth. I have been careful to use a small amount of wire not going into the soil too far, maybe a quarter inch. My question is, does it seem too early given the thin stem or should it be okay? 1st time training plants.
Hello 😉
No it should go do not worry
I advise you with your LST to combine the pinch of Apex both will allow you a more homogeneous canopy thus a better luminous penetration and consequently a much better yield.
Be careful not to over stress the plant because it is harmful to an autoflowering 🤐
