Don't worry about them dude. Lots of us use them or poke other things in our medium to train plants.

I do what you’re doing and I don’t stress with it. Poking a few roots as you push into the soil isn’t really detrimental. Exactly like Mickey said. It looks good. Cheers 🤙

Any feedback or help as this is my first grow so sort of winging it following a fair bit of research on line. Watering everyday and using Advanced Nutrients MGB. Was using every 2nd water bit P1 appears to like every water and not showing any deficiency?

Short Tangerine Auto?
My Tangerine Auto isn’t growing very tall? Short and spreading? Is this normal or do I have too much light? Maybe too much LST?

Hi. I just randomly tied my plants down and it came to this. Can it be useful and is it ok in some way or did I just wasted my time and done something detrimental for them? It seems to me that they are doing ok, and the lower sites are getting better light. I also tilted the LED

Defoliation every 3 days during flowering
I heard about defoliation every 3 days during the first 3 weeks of flowering. My sweet critical CBD is almost ending her first week, I already defoliate once, but I think I have to work on it more to let branches grow. What do you think about it? Thank you all!

LST : now or later ?
Hi guys ! I'd like to try LST on these sisters. Just wondering, looking at the latest photos do you think they're tall enough ? Or should I wait a bit more ? Also in which direction should I tie them down to maximize yield ? Thank you in advance ! 🍃☀️

Space..
Not enough space. I havent got experience with autoflowers, they are bigger then i expected, with so many tops. Is better to take smallest one (verry short pheno-left Down corner)away for better yields per plant? Or is it still OK? Thank you and sorry for my english. ✌️

It's my first Grow, going into week 3 should I go above 0.5ltr per pot? I want to try lst, I only have pipe cleaners and I don't think they are quite big enough for me to try lst yet should I wait a couple more days or just go for it?

Should I continue LST in Spacebucket, Week 5 Preflowering Auto
Should I continue to LST? Growing in 5gal buckets stacked. Verticle growth not an issue but seems like to keep bud sites low I need to push them up against the wall. Should I remove LST entirely? 1st pic no LST, 2nd LST in Spacebucket. Any advice is welcome.

Ok too cool thank you very much :) Unfortunately I had to launch my autoflowering session in 5.5L and 6L pots because I have not yet received the 10L Air pots. Good culture and nice Growdiaries page :)
