Week 3 - I need a bigger tent...
So, this little lady is exceeding my expectation so far, no stunting from the top or the defoliation of all but the 3rd and 4th node. So far the only thing she's had to eat is 2 compost teas, only about 2 cups of the 2L batch goes to her. The rest to the big tent.
Check out day 20 vs day 21, she busted right out of my LST and I ended up having to switch methods, we're now going to gently guide our 4 nodes to the position I want with some thinner wire until this thing decides to stop going up!
I ordered a jigsaw, I'm going to have to cut a hole in the bottom of the cabinet and the tent and give this plant another foot or so to grow up. I was worried about the light and it being low, now I'm worried about it busting out the top of my tent!
@ganjaq, Oh man yes, the 4 autos I've grown so far have all been super fruity smelling. This fucker is all skunk! I had to hook up the carbon filter about 10 days ago on her, she was stinking up both tents and my wife started complaining about the smell from the garage 😂
@Ferenc, So far I'm seeing about as many bud sites as with the auto's I've LST'd (even minus the branch I accidentally snapped off), but with far less work. The training of this plant has been very, very easy. Whereas with the scrog net, it was just fucking constant tweaking. When I finish up my photo run in the big tent I'll run 3 auto seeds, I'll expect them to be somewhere around 3x the size of this plant with the same general structure. I'm feeling that real hard, so as long as I don't have a sudden herming, or a really bad harvest, I'll continue to top rather than scrog/LST only.
