Should the first tiny node be removed?
einamiostarted grow question 2y ago
Hi guys! So this is a fb auto day 22. I was not planning to stress train her in any way. Could you please advise is this first node should be removed or kept? It looks unusually small to me and I wanted to remove it but I've never removed anything so early. Thank you, growmies!

I ALWAYS remove the first node, the one closest to the ground as it/they never really do much.
You can safely remove them, your plant will not notice it or be harmed in any way by doing so.
I take them off as soon as they are big enough to handle, leaving them too long may be more upsetting to the plant than early removal.

My first suggestion for you would be to remove them this time.
My second suggestion would be to LST your plant the next grow. By doing this you will have better yield. To but it in perspective, my first node was actually my biggest cola. You can see this on my Banana Purple Punch Auto diary.

I don’t personally keep the first node of any plant. To me it’s just so low that any of those branches are going to get drowned out by the rest of the plant. Also give a bit more clearance for watering by removing it.

Are we growing on track?Thoughts on my grow at the end of week 2? Am I on track? They seemed to be a bit stretchy don't you think? With my cool tube installed planning on dropping them 30cm/1foot away from my plants. The leaves feel some what rough any suggestions. Please like, comment and follow 🙌

Any way to save my clones, and have healthy clones from these? I took these about 7 weeks ago and life got ahead of me. The plants these are from are greatI took these clones 7 weeks ago and never got around to transplanting them. As you can see, they are rootbound, stretched, and stunted. My question now is, is there any way I can make these clones usable? If not, it's a lesson for next time, but I want to use these clones.

Same tent, same seeds package, same germination method, same soil, same light but big height difference. What could it be? Thanks 💚Hi guys, what do you think could be the reason for such a difference in heights at this stage? The short one sprouted 12h earlier and you can probably see is a little ahead in nodes/leaves development but stayed low. I even tried switching them places in the tent a few days ago.

Is it normal for my flowering plant to look so thin and stretchy??I kicked her into 12/12 schedule about 2 weeks ago. I’ve seen some pics of other plants about 2 wks into flowering and they look big n bushy as heck. Wondering if I’m doing anything wrong. Haven’t updated my diary yet but I plan to soon. Any help is appreciated
