The growth on this run was honestly insane. The biggest takeaway I got from this grow is that LESS IS MORE, especially when it comes to training.
In my previous grows I was a lot more hands-on, but this time I barely touched her early on. I let her grow completely untouched for the first ~20 days, then only bent the main stem once to break apical dominance. After that, she basically did everything on her own and turned into a full bush without needing more training. You can notice that already in the 2 pics from week 3. In the first one I just bent the main stem, and in the second she was already starting to bushing out. Then stretch started and she just exploded and tripled in size, and it's not even completely done yet.
I think that made a huge difference because growth never really slowed down from stress.
Aside from that, Iād say the fundamentals still matter a lot: environment, light, and genetics first, then feeding. Everything needs to be in balance.
Remember: more light = plant eats more. And VPD (relation between temp and humidity) affect how the plant absorb nutrients, so that also defines how much nutrients the plant can handle.
So it's really a balance between all those elements.
I also switched to AutoPots for this run, and I donāt think Iāll go back. It takes away a lot of the workload and guesswork since the plant can regulate her own water intake. You still need to dial in nutrient strength, but itās much simpler compared to hand-feeding multiple times a day.
On nutrients, I kept things pretty light early on and only increased feeding around mid-stretch when she actually started looking a bit hungry. That approach worked really well, but honestly, I think the biggest difference came from just not overhandling the plant early on.
She ended up bigger and about a week ahead compared to my previous grows.
Let me know if you have more questions. I'm far from an experienced grower but always happy to share experiences.:herb::herb:
<span class="link_user">@Fast_Buds</span>, thank you:seedling::smile: Enjoying the product right now and after a 6 week cure I must say im definitely happy with it.
