First Grow

Anyone has any ideia why they r growing so slowly? could it be weak lights? they r around 500lumens each

Looking great here so far bud.

Nice description and nice training bro

Good job taking care of the pests :) As @Jaindoh said it might be smart to check out on the eggs too, those can be feisty buggers. Nice update, looking good ;)

They're coming along nicely. Some nice growth since the last time I looked in. Seems the LSTing is going well. Funny how everyone on GD thinks you are male! ha ha... Hope you are doing well 😊

Just checking in. How is the seedling doing? Is she looking any better in terms of leaf structure. Would love to see an update to your diary. - Zannabis7

good luck with the flowering ;)

Those are fungus gnats, almost certainly; they don't prefer cannabis roots but will eat them to get to what they're after. As long as you can get it taken care of it shouldn't be a problem. if they get the roots you will have root stress symptoms i.e. drooping. I use potassium silicate in coir, helps for strong roots as many root stress symptoms. Defends against gnats as well. May not be helpful depending on your brand of soil/nutes; many soils are high in silica already.

Your LST is probably slowing the onset of flower. Hard to say. Not that it isn't completely worth it, just not necc worrying about. OTOH not only will it improve yield from being wider the plant will be bigger. Sometimes you do need to drop their lights but when I need to drop lights for auto 12/12 works much better or stepping down 2 hours at a time to 12.Does RQS recc 24h? not all autos recc 24h. You can also try the old 2 days in the dark -> 12/12, has worked for me. Also keep in mind some lights make autos take longer, my old mars hydro reflectors were that way whether i was training, topping or nothing; they'd re-veg constantly too.

excellent work, sir! the LST will come in handy! as she grows, if you're careful, you might be able to get her to lay down even more -- youd be surprised how effective it is very good work, especially for a first grow! liked and followed!

Hey there. You update looks great. They might be a little bit behind schedule, but just stay with it (and keep the cat away) and they will rebound nicely. We are going to get you some killer flowers out of this. Best wishes my friend. - Zannabis7

Enjoy your grow. Good luck dude. 😊

glad to hear the gnats are gone remember that there may be eggs in that top inch of soil that need to die of thirst as well

When this week (5) is over if it doesnt show any signs of preflower ill change it from 24/0 to 18/6 to see if it triggers anything, if it does im gonna put it to 20/4 and hope they dont go back to veg

Off to a good start. Let me know if you have any questions along the way. Happy to help. Zannabis7

Could also most likely be very small 2-3mm thrips that is causing the spots. Edit: either way, buy organic cold pressed Neem Oil and spray them 2 times and they'll be gone.

big and bushy! =)

yeah the beginning of the flower phase is known as the "stretch" XD

Looking good, nice and healthy ;)

Good luck on your first grow 🌱🔥🐺
