That's flowering mate ;))) It's ok to train your plant through all grow cycle ... Just do all training applications straight before watering, less broken branches ;)) All the Best !!!

Yeah you’re fine. I LST sometimes until stretch is complete. Just be sensitive around certain bud sites up against the trellis.

If they are still in stretch yes, I do this and have not had any problems. Just be gentle. Good Luck!

2x2x4 yield expectations?I want to use a 2x2x4 tent, growing (Gorilla Cookies) autos in Nature Living super soil mixed with Coco Loco. I want to yield just a few high quality ounces. Is this easily achievable with one 3 gallon pot under a SF-1000? Should I be concerned with any plant height issues?

Doubt on flowering or male.I had many issues and not sure what's happening with one of the plant that doesn't look to flower like her sisters. Is it late flowering and will develop (or not) and I have to be patient? is it a male and should cut asap? I hope the pictures will be enough close to help.

Soil pH is surprisingly high. What's the best/safest way to lower soil pH (without eliminating nutrients from dry amendments)Granite Runtz #2's leaves have started to lighten in color & develop rust spots/mottling. Troubleshooting this, my soil pH is in mid 7s; I always pH water to 6.4-5. Will daily watering with ~pH 6.0-2 be enough to lower soil pH sufficiently? I wonder if this also affected growth?

Late LST - Week 5.5 - Done correctly?I have decided to begin LST, despite the risks of stressing the plant at this stage. I figured with it being a hardy strain, it may tolerate the stress and the benefits may outweigh the risks. Have I done it right?

First time FIM, does it look normal a few days later?Hi Growmies, Just wondering if this FIM attempt is looking any good a few days on? It's just that I am struggling to visualise how it will end up? To me, she looks like she is carrying on growing in the "Christmas tree" format. Did I miss a FIM lmao? Is that possible? lol.. TY

Repot at week 6?Ive stupidly potted this in a 1 gallon pot, probably a bit small, hence the size of him! Would it be worth repotting in a larger pot at this stage? It has already flowered with some darker pistils showing!?

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?
