Both sprouted quite nicely! I'll transplant into little solo pots very soon.
Not sure whether I'll grow in soil or coco with these yet.
Now that the weather is getting warmer I plan for these to be a sunlight/outdoor grow.
No nutrients will be added for the first few days.
Transplanted them both into 3 gallon pots and moved them under a 1000W quantum board which is the equivalent of a 400w MH/HPS so we'll see how they get on.
So my easy bud is going pretty well I think, I tired down most of her branches with was pretty easy to do as she's taller than my quick one which is super short and bushy... I'm not sure what to do with her.
Could someine give me advice on whether I should do any training with my quick one, I can't really lst her and the branches are still too short and she's incredibly compact and bushy as you can see in the pictures. If someone could tell me what to do that would be great. Thanks!
the problem with autos is that they stiffen up really quickly. People say you can always LST? well, not with autos you can't. Dont be disappointed though , any kind of LST at this point will actually impact your yield in a negative way. if you LST too late the flower nodes dont grow correctly and you have asymetric buds with some small buds due to the LST. What i can say is that you're doing really well right now , the bush shape is the desired shape, the many leaves are a good sign that the plant(s) will go through a great flower stretch. Dont panic dont feel bad. Next grow just start LST around week 2 and you will be fine. the point of LST is to promote lateral branching... you have plenty of that already, so that's good ! Hope this helps ! 🚀
So easy bud is growing so well! She's responding well to the lst and every branch is growing out long into the light.
Quick one is going well but she's super dense and bushy and I can't really do anymore lst because her branches aren't growing out as much as the easy bud, maybe next week I'll have some more progress with her!
If she wasn't an auto I'd definitely do some defoliation but I don't want to stunt her growth.
I don't think either have really started to flower yet, they seem a bit late?
Any advice again on what to do with the quick one? She's do dense but I can't tie anything else down and I don't really want to trim anything as she's an auto and due to start flowering around now.
Also is it normal for autos to not flower after 30 days? Thanks.
i trim my autos when needed, and so far it has never really harmed them significantly.. sometimes it's needed to get light to the lower branches, sometimes i do it to keep humidity down and airflow up, and sometimes in early bloom, so the energy is focused more on the bigger buds, and not on popcorn..
in regards to when autos flower, that depends on the strain.. if the genetics aren't that great or if they're in a younger generation it can still happen that the non-autoflower trait got through.. it hasn't happened to me personally, but there have been reports of people having to put them to 12/12 as they just didn't start flowering.. after all autoflowering is a genetic "mutation" for sativas and indicas and it takes a couple of generations for it to manifest regularly..
Easy bud is growing really well still, I tied down her main stem to hopefully promote the others around her to grow more.
Easy bud is still bushy as ever! I removed a lot of tiny bud sites from the lower part of the plant but there are still a few lower branches I'm not sure I should chop off due to her being in flower.
On my quick one plant on the ksdt photo (I can't upload here for some reason) but should I removed branches like this that are underneath?
They don't get much light and I can't viably train the plant so they get light. Thanks.
Hello.. Hope you are well.. Personally i think its a preference issue.. Do u mind trimming and smoking popcorn buds.. If not leave them on.. If u want to try and aim energy into specific branches and try for trophy buds it up to u!! .. Few things tho.. 1st,-naturally ur plants wudnt get trimmed or defoliation in the wild(not like anywer wot gardener's do!).. 2nd,-trimming and defoliation if done wrong will produce less yeild or worse, damage her intensely.. 3rd..either way the yeild to most methods of training (if optimal conditioning) will b very very similar.. Stay safe n gud luck on ur greens.. 👍🍀
Easy bud is looking to be great, hopefully the buds will fill out nicely!
Quick one is looking alright too, not as good as easy bud but good nonetheless.
Normally the last time you want to really do any lollipoping is the second to third week of flower to reduce the stress on your plant. I don't see an issue with one or two every so often but it's not the best. Next time try to do it in one big swoop around the end of your second flower week! Cheers and happy harvest!
Ok so I'm starting the flush this week, my ppm is 350 because of my tap water but it's been alright with my other grows flushing with that.
Easy bud is such a big plant and I'm having to support the stems on her because some are starting to bend under the weight of the buds.
Quick on is still doing it's thing being a bushy plant but still good none the less.
I'll be flushing for about 2 weeks.
