Focus on what you can control. Temperature, humidity, feeding, ventilation, light etc.. Give your plant the appropriate PH, add nutrients if its in your budget. You don't need a 12 part feed schedule to boast impressive plants and buds. Allow proper light penetration by doing a selective defoliation which will also allow for better air circulation and so on. If you have any other questions hit me up. Cheers.

Hey there, you can still do amazing things on a budget. If you can maintain a proper ph and a comfortable space, with good light they should do well. Autos seem to be pretty strong and resilient already. One small tip...always clean up the bottoms, defoliate any parts in the shade and any baby buds and you'll usually wind up with much more beautiful bigger top buds. I still have to remember to do this and then i wouldn't end up with so much popcorn buds.✌️ happy growing

Keep it simple don’t try anything advanced yet till you have a good idea what your up to, watch humidity, PH , good air flow and watch the watering, and nutes always start at least half when using nutes! Hope this helps!

it's too late to LST, anything you do now will hurt your yield as the flowers grow, my best advice is to start using some chelation agent like enzyme, amino acids or humic + fluvic acids. See the way the bottom leafs curl up a bit that's a sign of root problems and adding (only) one of these additives will break down the roots and turn them into nutrients. Other than that these are a picture of health ! hope this helps ! 🚀

Low stress training is really useful in small grows. Without bending my plants I would quickly run out of room in my 48 inch tall tent. A spool of plant ties is very inexpensive and will last you a good amount of time. You can still perform LST as your plants are stretching in early flower, just focus on the ends where the stalks are more flexible and take it slow. You can form a length of plant tie into a hook and gently bend the stalk down to a more horizontal angle, and attach the end of the tie to your pot to hold everything in place. Having a nice flat canopy can also increase yields. Overall your plants look nice and healthy! During flowering, I have had decent results adding a little molasses during my waterings. It is inexpensive and can introduce some extra simple sugars and minerals into the soil.

I agree with motaman, when flower sets in by week 2, the stem and branches start to harden. You can still train them during the early flower, just make sure to not over-load the stress or the stem/ branch will snap. Your plant looks healthy. As far as advice, keep growing. Dont get frustrated if you mess up, it's just a plant😉Keep to a feed schedule and let the plant grow, dont chop too early, that's the biggest mistake new growers or "On A Schedule" grower make. Even dispensaries chop early half the the time.

Plants look healthy! If your plants are getting too tall you can supercrop them, bending the stems without breaking the skin. It may be a bit too late now, but I would suggest doing some LST (Low Stress Training) next time, by bending the main top down and allowing the side branches to grow up. Marijuana is an apical dominant plant, basically meaning it grows the most at the top, so training your plants to have an even canopy will really help with light penetration and bud development. Hindsight is 20/20, but you could have probably lowered your light to prevent so much stretching. Happy Growing!! 💪👊
