Hello growers. I have a couple of things - 1. how...

I would let all the beaches grow up top them all wait a week or two send them into flower and keep training to keep even canopy till the stretch is done. Also be careful when watering not to get any water on leaves. Cuz it's a magnifier with the grow light and will burn a hole through. If u ruled out pests. Good luck and keep growing

3) Your leaves have been eaten by an insect ( last pics ) so grab your neon oil and spray it under your leaves ( 9 part water for 1 of neem oil ). 2) She will grow upwards by herself during the 2 first weeks of stretch/pre flowering so you can put your efforts into the shape and the horizontal grow. 1) Hard to say but I can tell you for sure that she'll multiplying her height by ×1.5 to x3 during the stretch and she is also growing significantly before the stretch.

I would let her grow out to the size of the diameter of your pot then flip her. The damage on the leaf seems minor it will be remove in the future anyways it could be from handling her it's not insect damage. You should start adding some cal/mag to prepare her for bloom. You can also try to add some supplemental silica into your nutrient regime to toughen up those leaves and stem cell walls. Hope this helps your grow 👍 https://generalhydroponics.com/armor-si

Hi @1sttrymk! She will grow upward as soon as you will trigger the flowering stage, by switching light schedule to 12/12. You can keep her flat as long as she's in the vegetative stage and try to multiply nodes, by topping its summits or by bending her continuously. Now about the holes, they come from pest/insects, probably some kind of thrips. You need to react quickly to get rid of these before entering in the flowering stage, or they will disturb your plant's photosynthesis process and impact your yield negatively. Plus, I guess you don't want to smoke insects 😛 Pest prevention is an essential topic, you need a pest-prevention-strategy as soon as you plant your seedlings, during the first days. My strategy is pretty simple and consists in 3 methods: 1) I have an electric atomizer working 10min every hour to diffuse essential oils mixed with fresh water (a few drops of lemongrass, lavender, peppermint...you can find those oils in nature-stores or online). Those oils are repelling insects/pests, they don't like the smell of my room. 2) I spray neem-oil everyday when the light turns off, 10-12 drops of pure neem-oil mixed in a liter of temperated water, this oil is really efficient to kill/disturb/sterilize the invaders. 3) I use a dedicated foliar spray (BioBizz LeafCoat) once every 2 weeks to create a 'transparent layer' onto the leaves and to protect them from spiders/thrips/moths/miners... Since I've applied this approach, I've seen ZERO invader in my room, and believe my it was a big problem in the past. Let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊

Don't spray neem oil it is horrible for anyone who will come in contact with it many people are saying to just stay clear of it all together , so fast they look very good and are doing nicely for the time that you have had them growing .lots of good training and they take well to it obviously so that's good to see ...throw some diatomaceous earth it's all natural can be put on soil and sprinkled lightly over the girls will kill any issues you got juts don't use in on plant during flowering same as most things don't want in the bud..they honestly look very good and I would still bend her to your desired true outcome ...don't overkill it some people go crazy with LST these autos got a good harvest in the future ...

Hi there. Firstly, nice looking plant there.. Now to answer your questions. To answer your first question I would say you still a fair bit of growth to go and a lot more tying down to do in the future, so its going to grow however you let it. To answer question I would allow vertivle growth to continue in the next couple weeks. To answer your 3rd question I would say that's some form of pest. Get some neem oil spray and keep a real close eye on it. I hope this is in some way useful to you.
