How do I backfill my plant?

Loulou84started grow question 4 years ago

Is there a right or wrong way to bury the stem on my Auto? I had an issue with stretching and wanted to wait til she was a bit bigger before I tried. Can I still do it now and what's the best way to do it? Cheers

i'd start with a gently placed / gently packed mound around it roughly as high as you want to go... this will help protect it if a clump of substrate rolls toward it... big enough mound to protect it as you fumble around in the pot (your or me.. you-plural :P ) then, just carefully fill in and tap down softly to even it all out. when you water, it'll pack it down further. May need to add a bit more than you expect.

From the looks of that i would put at least 1 inch 1 and 1/2 of more dirt in there give it more support too.

You can just bury her up to her cotyledon leaves.

How do I slow this grow? At day 25 she is way too tall and will outgrow closet soon This is growing WAY too fast! It's on a 12/12 due to the fake auto next to it. Day 25 and it's 22" already. It's been growing at 1" a day since day 13ish. It looked normal until then. Is this from the autoflower living soil at the bottom 1/3 of the bag? How do I slow? Help!

Plant too big for growbox Long story short, I overshot my container size, and now I have plant that is outgrowing my box. I cannot move it, so the only options are to manage the growth or kill it. Any tips that would help me keep the size down and bring this plant to successful harvest would be great.

Keep it small.I'm starting to think about training her, because I'm very limited in height. My goal is more than 40g dry weight in the shortest possible time. (<14 weeks) The plant before I had fimed, no idea how exactly to proceed this time, is moving to 12-12 soon a good option?
