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!

I’m concerned about this plants growth. I’m on week 9 and it’s pretty small compared to others I’ve seen. Is this something to worry about? Also, do you think it’s time to transplant it into a new planter. It’s wide but still kind of short. I’m thinking a Home Depot bucket to end

Should I defoliate?Plant is 3 weeks old, doing tremendous in all aspects. The thing is she topped itself at the first node and is growing extremely short (about 7in) wide and bushy. Should I defoliate? I am planning on switching to flower in 2 more weeks.

Hi guys. Considering the several problems of this grow, how I can change my setup for the next grows? Now I'm using Plagron Alga fertilizers and the Promix substrate (no fertilized). Do you suggest to set the lamp in bloom mode (more reds) also during the veg phase? Thanks, M

Bad plant from bad seed? Keep or throw?So one of my girls germinated with only one leaf and is growing at a much slower pace compared to her sister (they germinated in soil within 24hrs from each other) I think it was a bad seed, is it worth keeping her? I've planted another now just in case 🤷🏽

Development issues first time growing this strain, never had such a small plant in a 18L pot. She smells amazing, looks fine, but way too small. Didn't really used many nutes, or spent time around her, but on the other hand the northern lights next to her is doing great. Any thoughts?

Structure question: worth growing out?PSA: don't interfere with leggy seedlings. You'll only do more harm than good. I tampered with these as I would leggy tomatoes. The stems have broken surface end of week 4 and I'm worried they're not going to hold any late weight.. Should I just scrap this run? I have beans 😅
