Deine Ladys sind geschockt und gestresst. Dein Hund macht ihnen vor, was sie jetzt brauchen: Ruhe und Entspannung 😃 Geb ihnen ein paar Tage und sie sollten anfangen, sich zu langsam zu erholen. Allerdings dürfte dieser Stress deutlichen Einfluss auf die Größe und den Ertrag der Dame haben. Automatics sind sehr anfällig für Stress. Sie haben durch ihre kurze Lebensdauer nicht die Zeit, sich vollständig zu regenerieren, also ganz von so einem Eingriff zu erholen. LST geht bei Autoflower, alles andere sollte nur bei Photoperiodischen angewendet werden😅 Ich persönlich würde Anfängern generell Photoperiodische empfehlen, da sie Fehler eher verzeihen als Autoflower. Sobald sie keimen tickt die Uhr, da bleibt kein Spielraum für Fehler 😅

I recommend Mr Canucks Grow on YouTube for amazing autoflower guides. It's up to personal preference and also strain resistance as to what training you give your autos... They are definitely more sensitive but there's no right or wrong way to train them. I topped one of mine, and have defoliated both... Now that the "damage" is done, you just have to give them time. No grow is without hiccups though, keep at it! Another tip, if you can do it-- Increase the blue light for a bit as this promotes plant repair/veg!

Oh dear, I'm afraid you shouldn't have ever done all of that to an autoflower... they're terribly sensitive and growers should really stick to LST only for them. If they've shown no sign of growing for a week, there's nothing you can do to bring them back and get them on the road to giving you a harvest. I'm sorry to say I think you should start over with some more seeds. Germinate them in the pot they're going to spend their entire lives in and don't do more than LST. If you want to top and supercrop or anything else stressful (like transplanting, even!), go with a photoperiod ... Sorry!

Stretch to the light How can you tell if your light is to close or to far? Is this gal stretching to much? Should I have increased the dimmer and/or lowered the light earlier?

Started LST but now plants look a bit sick?I attempted to do LST but I think I've maybe started too early as some of the leafs started to wilt kinda bad afterwards. Was careful not to break anything. Edges are curling and have discolored. I have a feeling they're a bit short too? Photo from 5 days ago and today.

Should she be taller as an Autoflower? - day 18 10 cm So I know auto-flowers grow short, but she's still about 10cm tall and smashing lateral growth Do any auto-flower growers know when the height starts to come? I'd be worried she was stunted if it wasn't for the new node forming quickly once again looking for reassurance

Are my plants short? Please I need help and advice. Thank you!Hello everybody, this is my first grow so that's why i have so many doubts. One guy told me that my plants are short for being 6 weeks old. They are 6 weeks old since they started to germinate. Do you think they should be bigger? What do you think I did wrong? Thank you!

My auto seedlings are short, is the light too close or is it the temperature?So I’m running the spider farmer SF 2000 LED. great in the summer as it puts off very little heat. Winter time here in Seattle now and my wife won’t let me turn the heat up to past 70. My seedlings are in great soil with domes, but think the temp is stunting them. Suggestions?

You are a SATIVA North Shore Maui! You grow tall like the sky! Strong like mountain! You are not descended from short plant!Currently overthinking this plant's development. Pep talk not working. It is a sativa but the shortest plant in my garden. Maybe just needs a trim? The yellow is a concern too. I haven't dealt with a plant this bushy before so not sure if it needs help or not.

Is she small? Or normal Maybe overthinking but is she small for the 10 days shes been above ground? On my first grow before this one, I remember seedlings being very tall/stretchy, I used a propagator then transplanted to pot, they ended up being 1.4M Tall (Northern Lights).

Stunted plant or genetically impaired?Hello, first indoor grow. I’ve got 6 seedlings, germinated the 18th. All the same strain(OG Kush) and same growing techniques medium etc. One is way smaller, has been since germ, with staggered growth. Possible explanations? Genetics? Comparison vs healthy plant in photo. Thanks!
