as early as possible with autos...I top mine as soon as enough there to top/ pinch off...don't want to slow down and stress it during flower.

Hi, with autos i dont bother about any hst or chiropractics too much stress. Lst, Low stress training is best for autos. Hope this helps. Happy growing.

How am I doing?
It is my first growth, I'm fine even with 20g x plant. Unfortunately the last weeks have been quite cold and cloudy. Hope to be still on track. ->The stem seems quite small... so I had to add some earth as there was wind as well.

Raspberry Kush auto starting to tilt/lay over, 4 days above soil? Bottom pot in pic
My first auto grow and about 5 days in the one plant is starting to tip to one side. If this a light issue? Is it stretching to much? Using a TS1000 at 100% from 24 inches away. It was fine up until this morning then notice it was tilting to one side. 76f 50rh.

How long should I wait before watering my plant, causing the newly added soil around the stem to get wet? The old soil underneath still has some moisture.
I added more soil and buried an inch of the stem because of an accident that I had. To prevent stem rot I used dry soil. She has recovered from the accident. How long should I wait before watering her and causing the newly added soil to get wet? (details in diary)

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?
Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early? I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since... Thanks!
