More like HST instead of LST. This week was all about low stress training or lst. But as it was for the very first time I would say it was more of a high stress trainig (for me of course). First ties I started already the previous week but this week was hard tie downs on pretty much every branch. Since I messed up the first week and put my lights on almost max power the plants didnt strech out for light and are pretty low and bushy. Thats why the space is really tight and lst is just the thing to do. I used a metal string since I think its better because I can adjust it more and all tension is not on the string. For the past 2 weeks or so I noticed some weird spots on one leaf. This week it went on 3 more leafs and on one more plant. After some research I found out thats a serious Calcium defficiency. Since I’m not from US I didn’t have the same things as in videos I watched. So I didnt get the regular cal mag. But instead some from local store and I must say it was bad choice. Way too less calcium. Ordered a proper one and hopefully it will come in the next fee days. Another interesting thing happened. At the beginning I was cinsidering toping. But after researching more decided no to go with it on the first grow. As the lack of calcium appeared I went full blast with feeding. And it appears thats I was underfeeding, since I thought that my coco was too wet. Guess what happened when I went from once in 3days to twice per day. Thats right. The growth was massive ! One of the metal strings somehow got stuck in the plant and when this acceleration happened it simply snaped itself of 😳 I must say I was a bit sad at the moment, but then I figured it’s some form of self-toping. Not that I wanted it to happen on my strongest plant. But will see what will happen out of it. Alltogether this was a nice week full of wide strech and a lot of new knowledge!

Hi! According to the manufacturer the recomended brightness is 50% for Germination, 50-75% for Seedling stage, 75-100% in vegetative grow, and 100% in flowering. With this information in hand, I would suggest something between 60-100%, maybe 75% or even 100%. I personally believe that 100% is better than 75% during this period though.

How I can tell if I’m having serious problems with mold & root rot or it is simply a little mold due to fact that I put 2x the amount pf water inside my cocobricks?

Hi! I have no experience on root rot but what I've read it affects your plant quite fast, so you will now if you have it. If the top part of the soil gets moldy you can just mix it up to kinda remove the mold and you can add something like perlite or clay pebbles on top to prevent this from happening. It is not that bad thing if it does not get totally out of hands

Hello @Kazhox ! Technically, that's LST right there! It's simpler than it sounds, and sometimes that's what creates us doubt. The plant looks very healthy too, you're off to a good start 😉 Good luck with the grow

it's from too much Calcium.. older leaves show excess.. Newer leaves show deficiency. Adding calmag when you are already adding calmag can't help because that's kind of exactly the opposite of what adding CalMag is suppose to do.. Less is more.. Cut out the Cal-Mag.. Possible even look at halfing your nutrient ratios.. are you in soil? if so soil has enough stuff to feed your plant for quite some time depending on soil conditions. I hate CalMag because it solves peoples problems and they think it's calcium/magnesium when 90% if the time it's PH.. your Trio formulas from most companies has everything cannabis needs to grow.. Why add it if you don't have too? why buy another product when it doesn't really do anything? add a tiny amout more floramicro if you really need more calcium.. Read your bottles..
