Welcome back to week 7 of this Bruce banner auto from monster genetics! It's been a awesome week we are stretching and starting to fill in nicely! Both plants input experiment the topped and LST'd plant(A) aswell as the non topped but also LST'd plant (B) are pretty close to each other in canopy size and overall height. The main cola on the in cut plant (b) is still slightly more advanced than plant (A)s colas but all the other secondary colas are roughly equal I would still bet on the topped plants yield at this point but the untopped plant seems to be making a come back so it we be interesting how things shape up as the buds start to develope. All and all both plants are happy and healthy and I believe I have my flower light dialed now and the plants are responding well to the intensity boost! I will be giving another potent worm/bone meal tea brew soon. Make sure to check out the photos on how the two are stacking up. The results of this test will likely be the determining factor for how I treat autos from here on. Thanks for your interest in my 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.
