End of week 3. Getting used to ph ec tds and ppm. Think she looks healthy and roots are looking white and no slime. Hope the ambient heat handy hurt her today. Will be starting LST next week

So this week the little lady should start the flowering process.....Think she's looming great, very bushy and still small in height so bending and tie down isn't looking great. May need tk SCROG instead?? Gave her a bit of a prune as the shade leaves really covering the plant. Few hours later and she starts flowering phase....

Start of week 5 and she's still growing strong. Starting to smell a little (nice) and had to tie her down a bit.

you picked some solid genes for doing main-lining. Im excited to see how she develops with DWC. My girl is in very early flower right now in coco. Train and defoliate early and you will be rewarded! Happy growing:)

@JuicyBuds__BLM, Many thanks, I hadn't planned on mainlining (1st timer) but might look into it. I'll keep the diary up to date, seems to be a part of my normal evening routine Thanks and happy growing

You could definitely scrog her if youd like. IMO autos arent the easiest to scrog, although it is definitely possible. You kind of need similar genetics and plant size/structure to successfully SCROG multiple plants, but it is easy to do a single plant. In my experience, she takes on a very wide, bush like structure on her own. I have been defoliating and LSTing my girl, and shes been taking it very well and getting extra wide. Give her a few days and she will be sprouting branches like crazy!! Happy growing!
