It says your feeding is 185 ppm it says in your diary. Unless you just didn't update the feed amounts, then your plants are simply, way underfed.

The seedlings are getting so top heavy growing fast. The stem can no longer support all the weight of 2 of the seedlings, and I have had a fan on them 24/7. Is this normal? It’s not stretching FYI. I try not to give them a crutch to lean on so they grow stronger. Any Ideas?Week 1

ThanksThank you very much for the advice. Ive never used dry nutes before. These are 100% organic. Only one bag for veg and a different one for bloom. Switch bag with the light cycle switch. Sounds easy so I'm looking forward to it. Thanks again for replying.Other. General questions

Auto flower?Out of all my plants only the one of them has really shown this much progression with flowering sites. Is it flowering already before I switched the lights? If so does that make it an auto flower? Also will it hurt my plant to have not changed to 12-12 yet?Week 7
