My plants seem to be pretty stunted given their size at 28 days. I know it is still early in their lives, but it is hard to imagine them growing any bigger. They have not changed much at all over 4 weeks. We will see what happens.
I moved my clip on fan so that it is now blowing over the plants instead of the light. I have also added a second fan. I hope this will help dry the soil so that I can establish a healthy wet/dry cycle that will allow the plants to thrive.
Both plants are Northern Lights, and this strain has a reputation for being resilient and providing high yields. I am expecting the plants to hit a growth spurt in about 9 days, so we will see if that actually happens.
I have a Seedsman OG kush autoflower in the back which sprouted Dec 25th, and I have a Critical Purple Kush photoperiod seedling that broke soil Dec 16th. I am planning on vegging that one while my autos grow, and then flipping it to flower when I have harvested all the Autos.
Good Luck with your grow !
I’ve heard of the massaging / pinching technique before, forget what the technical term was. In the context I’d read on it, was to generate additional node growth I believe.
@ThePhattKidd,
I have heard of people using the technique for that purpose as well. In that case they usually apply it to a branch and bend it over near its connection to the main stalk.
When it is bent over, the plant thinks it is dead, so it starts forming a new node at that connection, but then the damaged branch recovers as well so you are left with 2 healthy branches from a shared node.
In my case it is only to be applied to the main stalk, and only for the purpose of increasing malleability of the stalk for bending it over.
Here is a link to the video I watched. This fella's LST is really neat and he is able to get the main stalk right over: https://youtu.be/-Dg5hFEvS3E
@Ferenc, thank you!
I picked up the Spider Farmer SF 1000 kit (light, 27" x 27" x 63" tent, fan, filter, etc). I have 2 Northern Lights autoflowering seeds in 5 gal fabric pots with soil.
I am going to LST the plants, and I am interested to see what they will yield.
Stay tuned for updates.
