Laxzeus32started grow question 3 years ago
I topped this ILGM skunk auto on Day 12 and she’s tolerated it well. Today is Day 14. I want to go all-in and now Fim the new growth. risky, but I’m going for it. I’d love to hear from anyone who has tried this. Should I fim new growth on both sides vs just one? Thx!

I do all kinds of training to my Autoflowers as long as there growing fast, and recover quickly. Don't cut on an autoflower if it starts to slow down, or get stunted. Never cut an autoflower that is growing slowly.
If your autoflower shows no signs of slowing down the don't be afraid to train it alot and often. I like to finish all my autoflower topping, fimm, defoliation by week 3 - 4 so it can focus on just growing after that. You want it healed and growing at 100% in flowering.
I do 1 last defoliation in flowering to expose light to nodes better and give better air circulation

Auto Sorten Kommen unterschiedlich mit stress klar dar der Prozess viel schneller abläuft als wie bei Fem.pflanz und keine zeit haben sich zu erholen also überlege dir gut ob du deinen Pflanzen dem aussetzt. Dies ist ein heis diskutiertes Thema mit vielen verschiednen Meinungen . Mach am besten selbst erfahrungen dann weist du von was ich rede ;)

Hey dude, wenn du wissen willst ob einen methode Besser klappt kannst du für dich selbst findest, ich probiere neue oder andere Methoden nicht beim allen Pflanzen aus! Besser wäre es eigentlich nicht nur 1 zu 1 vergleichen ... besser wäre es dann schon 2 zu 2 weil dann kanst du sicher sein das du einen Unterschiedsehen wirst. da man immer auf die andere Pflanze zürckgreifen kann fals eine Schlapp macht oder sonstiges was den Wachst. usw beeintrechtigt. Da nicht jede Pflanze gleich Stark, schnell, groß, oder weniger oder mehr nehrstoffe aufnimmt ... es können 1000 sachen Falschlaufen... ich machs persönlich auch so ... grade am Anfang wichtig vorallem nicht aufgeben als Anfänger / Neuling es werden fehler passieren und nur dann kann man wirklich lernen ... klingt hart aber einen Fehler den du einemal machst macht man meistens nicht so schnell wieder ! Es ist ein langer Prozzes das alles zu erlenen. Eigne dir Grundwissen an, ich habe viele gute Infos von Queen Royal Seeds bei meiner Keimung im Bericht findest du die Links wo du brauchst . Viel LIebe ! Hf good GRow Bro

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

DeformationHello friends, how are you?
I have a big question about one of my plants. Right after the appearance of the first two pairs of leaves, I noticed it's not doing very well. It's now 15 days old and seems to be starting to flower.

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?Techniques.

What is that?Yesterday evening feed 0.5 litre EC 1400 pH 5.9. Runoff was EC 900 pH5.6
Increased light intensity to PPFD 600.
This morning larger upper leaves are in "praying" position, one leaf closer to bottom looks sick.
If it's a light burn, why not on upper leaves?Leaves. Edges burnt

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…Plant. Too short
