This is good, it is LSTing itself!
It is all about the plants' genetics and nothing to worry about.

Its just your plant bushing out. It knows its own leaves are above so it is spreading out a bit to get more light.

you definitely have nothing to worry about. Plant phenotypes grow differently. branches seek access to light and as soon as they find it, they begin to grow upwards.

Seedling wont grow any furtherMy seedling basically hasn't grown in size at all since the last update, I think this is because of the cloth on the peat moss pellet? is it restricting root growth? meaning that the seedling doesn't grow? any thing would help.Week 1

Split main stem turning brown/tan/grey, mold?The main stem on one of my plants split due to overly intensive LST a few days back, I taped it up and expected it to heal normally like it usually does. Instead; this brown-tan color appeared on the nodes directly above the split. Any Ideas how I solve this issue, or what it is?Week 13

First grow question. Appreciate feedback from experienced growersFirst grow; OG kush auto. Day 60. Main cola bud in pic showing more trichomes. It’s 4 days past breeder date for harvest. No signs of yellowing leaves, brown pistals or amber trichomes. Happy frog Soil minimal nuts added. Best guess of how long to harvest?Buds. Other

POLLINATE NOW for mature seeds? Auto Plants in Week 6My Auto plants at week 6 have formed pistils.
I don't feel like they are quite mature enough to pollinate yet.
I am basically at the halfway point of this grow. I don't want to miss the window to have fully mature seeds.
Any pollination methods/advice?Week 6
