Welcome to another week with Bruce banner auto from monster genetics! Ok let's start by talking about LST. This plant seems to really dislike it which is not something ive experienced before. The harder I bend the worse it reacts. I've pulled the tie downs off and as soon as 24 hrs after they're off they return to happy healthy looking plants and thus I have decided to really limit the LST to just a little tug here and there to get some light exposure where needed. My first thought was this is a autoflower problem however I have another auto going now that absolutely is going crazy with the exact same treatment so it's got to be the strain any ways the experiment is still valid in that only one was topped and so we will still compare In the end. A is the cut plant b is uncut. I am disappointed with this week's growth and I attribute it to stress shock however we will ease up on these delicate ladies and recover to have a decent harvest or at least that is the goal. Stick around as we change strategy and fix this issue. If you are interested in anything your seeing hit the follow button and let's watch them grow!
Hey there. Liking your grow philosophy. I'm trying something similar, but noticed my run off pH about 7.5 . Have heard pH is more self regulating in composted soil, but then people say get it lower, so I've been adjusting water to about 6.5 Now my plant looks possibly worse. Are you actively maintaining yours, is the soil already low or is it just doing what it likes?
@yinandyang, high bud so here's the deal if the plants are healthy and your growing totally organically never mess with the pH if there is a problem adjust the pH if you must but do so with organic measures lemon juice/ vinegar pH down lime for pH up also the most important part of organic growing is the soil if you having problems at all change the mix you started with I use a custom peat compost mix and I recommend sticking with peat moss because it helps to keep soil acidic when you add lime to this they try to balance each other in the middle somewhere. But the most important factor here is the microbial life in your soil if they are healthy and happy they regulate your ph for you there won't be a nutrient lockout because they will be directly feeding your plant what it needs. Feel free to pm me for more info or show me some photos and maybe I can be more specific. Either way don't give up cause this is definitely the best way and the easiest I'm the end I assure you.
