LST to develop a canopy.

These plants really flourished weeks 3-4 with a fairly low dose of nutes. Only 400ppm from 3ml of Humboldt A&B and 1ml of CaliMagic and about 100ppm is from the tap water. Just got an EC reader (wand style), today. So, I will start tracking the EC along with the PH to get a better idea of how much the plants soak in each day by measuring the input and output (run-off). I will also start making a 4 gallon solution in one of my DWS buckets, instead of making the food each morning. I will be sure to stir and test the solution to track it over time, as it might last a while at this rate--only going through a couple of pints of food a day using 3 short soaks 2-3 times a day for both plants.

Both seeds are showing signs of sprouting. Plan is to get them up and vegging as I harvest the other plants. The Aerogrow always comes through on germination. Sweet!

@CRiSPrGrow, Thank you so much for taking the time. I will get that humic acid. The other plant had the same issue a little and I had noticed that the EC from the run off was getting high. I am still figuring out how to not overfeed, as it just created other problems! Thanks again for taking the time. Cheers!

I was going to ask if you were going to do some LST. Those are some good looking plants you've got some beautiful bud sites growing in. There are some awesome tips out there!! Happy growing my friend 😎

@GreenhouseGrowing, Yes. I am using LST to spread and flatten the canopy. I attached paperclips to the fabric pot rim and use twist ties. Just defoliated both plants to let more air and light in. Then used a Kyle Kushman technique for the first time removing all but the top flowers and some chiropractic on each stem. So, we will see how that goes on these autos. Cheers!
