So I’ve been slacking over the last few weeks with grow diaries but will try keep on top of it a bit better in the last few weeks!!
So not been monitoring her as much as I did at the start as I don’t really need to. I think she’s coming along ok for my first plant ever! And I’m quite proud. From the pictures she’s started to bud nicely I’ve continued to feed and upped nutes a bit since I last posted here. Plants got a lot bigger every week and the tent is starting to smell good when I open it. Happy growing!! 🍁 🙏
Best of luck with your baby! Watch how much you feed her, she’s still very small and can easily get nutrient burn (possibly why the tips are the way they are) 🌱
She does look a bit beaten up! I dont think its the light drop trauma that delayed her growth though xP But as you can see she is also starting to grow, it will probably catch up. To be safe i would check soil's ph, water and runoff, just to be sure :)
Also if you think you are overwatering it, you are probably right, as you can kill a plant easier with too much water than not enough ^^ I wouldnt say it looks too overwatered though, but a plant that small doesnt drink much, so just let top 2-3 cm of soil get bone dry, reallly stick your finger in the dirt, if it comes too dirty usually the soil has enough water, on the other hand if the soil falls from the finger its dry xPP Thats how i do it, you got to really poke it good around the vase feel the overall wetness xP Closer to the plant be more genlte with the poking thing xP Overwatering would slow the growth of a young plant ;) could explain it!
@OneDropOfTHC, No it wasn’t the light drop it was spider mites! 😡 but I’ve got some neem oil now she’s looking miles better!! Well in my opinion 😂 been doing what you’ve said to do and check the soil a few inches in to check if completely dry before watering again! Stay safe!
Yeah dont worry about it. She is fine, on nature they are used to getting squashed for a few seconds. Aslong as th main stem doesnt brake, you are safe, even if it brakes and you manage to secure the wound close with some tape, it will probably live. Last week i dropped a pot on her head completely removing her from soil and bending her, she didnt even notice xP They are incredibly resilient if healthy,
I dont see a need for defoliation. But im with those people that dont defoliate autos. Post up a grow question see other opinions ^^ What i would do right know to you plant is apply an anchor to the base and bend the top stem down arching your plant and making those side shoots take some sun and start developing alongside with the main stem, all at the same weight. But thats a kind of training, u might just want to let her grow. but right now seems the perfect time to bend the top down without hurting it. If you need any help on how to do this just wisp me, ill draw you a picture.
