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.

My seedling just fell over
All of the sudden a healthy looking seedling decided to fall/bend over, it does have the thinnest stem of them all. Why is this happening and how can I prevent it with my other seedlings? Outside temperature is 24⁰ and I water them twice a day with pH-balanced water

Stem on plant appears to be narrow at the bottom growing beefier up higher
The stem on this plant appears to be narrow at the bottom growing beefier up higher. Any ideas on strengthening it up or will this hurt me further along?😲 I think this plant got knocked over once so perhaps thats it, just hope it doesn't choke the plant further along. Ideas?

Stressed plant?
Another stressed plant? Since the beginning, it was born with wrinkled leaves, and now it has lost strength in the stem. Do you think it's worth waiting to see if it gets healthy? Or is it better to germinate another one? A huge bummer with the Green Gelato, out of 10 seeds I only managed to get 4, more info in my diary.

¿¿Que debería hacerle a la planta ??
They're getting stems at the bottom but they're not getting light because the plant has four big leaves that cover the whole plant. Do you think I should remove the 4 leaves and open up the plant from the bottom or cut the stems at the bottom and focus only on the top part? I did FIM. THX

What is this happening?
Just take a look at pictures. They are in order. Why is this happening? Overwatering? Lamp too far? What should i do to fix it?

The leaves look wilted or twisted. They are in the first day of 12/12 mode with different light. What could it be? I can rule out too little water or too much fertilizer; they are still getting almost the same amount of growth as before. And even less than required.

Can this stretched seedling be saved?
So, my first seedling spent a few days w/weak light and got stretched. I then started “Shorty”; both outdoors the last three days. I buried “Stretch” 3/4” deeper. Is “Stretch” (the first plant) totally fucked? Anything else to do? 1st pic is Stretch, 2nd pic is Shorty.

What i do with her?
Hey growmies. What to do with this Royal Gorilla? It had a slow start compared to the others, the first two leaves stuck together for a while. I thought it would develop normally over time, but it's 34 days old and looks like this with some hairs starting to grow.
