Should the first tiny node be removed?
einamiostarted grow question 5 months 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 donāt personally keep the first node of any plant. To me itās 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.

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)?
I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed).
Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

Buon giorno weed doctors, did anyone have similar uniform chlorosis at the top or maybe knows what's up? What could be the reason and the solution? ThIs this some sort of immobile nutrient deficiency or excess? Could this be caused by heat and light stress? She is 80cm tall and almost touches the lights in the tent. I'm usually suffering from Calmag and Nitrogen issues and haven't yet experienced yellowing from the top. Thanks

What could cause a Gelato to grow only popcorn buds?This is, luckily, not my plant but the sister of my Gelato Auto which for a long time did not want to grow. The pictured one did, but ver strangely: Thin, weak, extremely long branches carrying a multitude of popcorn buds. Grower is experienced. Any ideas about the cause?

Stem growths or nodules? All info or theories welcome!One of my strains "The Incredible Bulk" always gets these stringy protrusions. My best guess is that it's like primordial roots due to the plant needing a transplant. Young clones don't have them just older plants of this strain. Any info or theories are welcomed.

Hight ProblemsIāve got 3 plants in my tent, but theyāre all different heights. To compensate, Iāve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?

Tips to improve space and airflow (Lil Amazonia)As a first grower, I made a lot of mistakes. Now I'm lacking of space inside the tent. Is there any tip or techniques i can use to improve the space and airflow inside the tent. I was thinking of defoliation but maybe it can create more problems as they are Autos.

Concern about VPD, stretch, twisting leaves ... or is it OK?This Gorilla Zkittles seems to be stretching awfully much. Also, of more concern, the small leaves are twisting, as if too hot/dry. 78F, light is about 14" up, RH% setpoint 56%, leaf temps seems to max out at 76.5F. Should I worry? Or what? Thanks! VPD is 1.2-1.6 depending.

Excessive streching, or is it normal?Excessive streching, or is it normal?
What should I do to get more control for automatic genettics to avoid streching.
My guess is that this time, with healthy plants, and 3 in the 60x60 tent, they compited for light.
I didn't have a fan and ventilation is poor, would it be that?
