@Sunshine55,ok i see. in your next grow give every plant after germination their own final pot with a good prefertilised Soil. they reall y dont like ti to be transplante. and if they are in one pot together the roots may web together... i whish you nice handling while transolant we will see happy growing... what kind of puppie is it=?

@Mrs_Larimar, thanks! He’s a lab mix. Not housebroken yet but so sweet. 💗

Coming along nicely ;)

Today i transferred Sissy to her own pot. Same 7 gal SmartPot with Fox Farm Ocean Forest. transferred right after the lights off cycle and gave her a good drink of water. Made sure to transfer a good bit of her soil into the new pot. Figured it would be good for her to rest after the move, but thats pure speculation. Checked on her this evening and she’s doing GREAT. no wilting or anything. She’s standing tall and beautiful. Wish i could post a picture here in the comments instead of waiting til the end of the week!

nice start! happy growing 🌱

Hi how Bud and Sissy are doing=?

@Mrs_Larimar, they’re coming along nicely! We got a puppy this last week and i haven’t been able to spend as much time with the lil plants as i had been. Will be placing Sis in her own pot this week as they are now touching and need more space 💗💗💗

Hi @Sunshine55! Well, "third set of leaves" is a bit ambiguous, but if you're talking about the 3rd node then yes, it's the right node to top for an autoflowering strain. I'd recommend to wait for the 4th node to appear, before topping at the 3rd node, it's much convenient/easier and it will also speed up the new growth, because of the strong structure of the main stem & bottom nodes. This usually should be done between week 3 and 4, depending on your plant's size and health. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Good luck with the grow ;)

Automatics respond Most time very nice to LST and Picking if you are not sure. Feel free to ask me per PN

Best of luck with the grow! I'll follow along

@Sunshine55, If there is room in the pot, just fill it up with soil. It’s ok to gently press the stem almost flat and bury it. Snip off the first and second sets of leaves before burying. The top will face upwards after an hour. When it has grown a little, add more soil for support as needed. But if you have to re-pot, disturb the root ball as little as possible.

Good morning Sunshine! Sorry...couldn’t resist! Tiny seedlings don’t need much light, and stretching is neither desirable nor a disaster. I don’t grow HID but from what I’ve learned 14” sounds too close, and of course it’s hot. When you re-pot bury the stem over the cotyledons, and even the first true node if she has stretched. You can top anytime but after the fifth node is commonly accepted as a good time to do so. Best wishes for a great harvest!
