as such
A bit more LST'ing today

I try to keep defoliating autos to a minimum, LST has minimal impact on the plant. I'm growing in a small confined indoor space so I want to keep te plant as low as possible and get as much light as possible of my cheap 300W amazon led panel, to all the levels of this Gorilla. By the looks of it, I'll end up with at least 6-8 main same size main colas rather than 1 main cola with inferior sidebranche buds. I'm not following the "recommended" Biobizz feeding schedule yet: Week 4 says you need to add TopMax and Bloom but..no signs of flowering yet so while I am moving on to week 4 in the feeding schedule, I'm leaving out the flowering boosters until I see decent pistils. Also...I will only start using Biobizz Grow in the flowering phase as well. BioBizz Fishmix is what I'm using in veg stage as I see much better results in plant health and growth with it. Never mix Grow and Fish as I found that to be overkill, BioBizz Grow is better in flowering stage as it provides the much needed sugars which Fish doesn't.
@Dirtydraggel, Hey man not sure where you're from but I've just ordered a 5pk. Don't know if I'm allowed to advertise here neither as I've only been here a few days. I'm UK.
@stone, hey, nothing professional, I have several setups going with a mix of full spectrum cheap 300w panels from Amazon and simple E27 high output LED bulbs from a regular DIY store. Cool white for veg, warm white for you know. My “most expensive” aparatus is my “PAR” meter, if a 10$bulb gives me 2000-5000nm at 15cm distance, I can grow a decent 40g/plant with it.
