First grow autos

Hey it’s good to be back, week 3 started today Wednesday the 22nd and I got a bag of silica powder (silicone dioxide) from Kelp4Less in the mail that I will be adding to my feeding this evening. Here is the recap of what has taken place in the past two weeks: July 12th - 16th I noticed fungus gnats were hopping around the soil of both plants and that one and then two were beginning to lean a bit. My assumption is their larvae gnawing on the roots slightly was the cause of this. You will see stakes in the soil (which probably aren’t too good for the roots ); either) but no matter, overall these are minor issues. You will see these stakes throughout the rest of these pictures. July 18th - 22nd For the gnats I introduced beneficial nematodes to the soil, as well as Gnatrol for the BTi (on different dates). I’ve been keeping the soil moist and letting them do their thing. Both girls were and have been growing vigorously, but with ideal internodal spacing for the height of my tent! I topped both ladies early Monday morning and they have responded well to it. I ate the tops 😜 Will certainly eat them again ahaha. I did so at the third node, counting their first single set of leaves and their new growths are popping off! Also, check out the stems! They look so beefy now I love it. The zkittlez auto does lean a bit but I think she’ll prop herself up in do time. Damn gnats came in the roots potting soil I bet, shoulda baked it in the sun! Anyways, does this look like wind burn on my anesthesia auto leaves? I had the fan turned up on them which is due in part as to why their stems look so thick I bet. Ive kept it at a smooth rustling breeze as to not stress them after the topping.
