First thing I thought was... they can do that lol

Room is starting to fill up. Will have my hands full to manage the ones in the back soon, pleasant problem to have though =)

[swegrow]

Yes they already start to get more lanky and also some are starting to "pre flower". Trick now is to keep the canopy even I think, will get me a net next week to make it a bit easier to maintain =)

Thanks. Yes, I tied that one down to the edge of snapping. Will see how that goes!

[SoOrbudgal]

Well yes they do stretch but not nearly as much. Now lights and distance from them play a huge part. Like seedlings stretch when to far from light. Autos and photo do the same. Some have lights closer to make short nodes between buds some auto naturally have wider node spaces and may stretch more. Kinda depends on what the breeder says about the strain also. You just don't know until it starts, that's where your LST comes into it.

Autos will slow down growth we call it " stall " if they get abused but heck it's how we learn to grow them. Great idea about the 3 leftovers, your being smart about it.

Starting to get thirsty!

First dose of nutes today, I hope im not to early. Gave 1/8 of regular dose of 4-1-3 that I had laying around together with alot of plain water. We have our own well and our water is very clean, all plants seem to love it. Got a bottle of Canna's "Terra flores" that I plan on adding 1-2 times during bloom. Any advice on this would be much appreciated! Im very cautious with adding nutrients, especially when the plants are looking as healthy as they are right now.

And a newbie question, does autoflowers take off and get alot bigger/taller when they start to bloom just like photos?

I also have these 3 "leftover plants" that I germinated together with the others but dont really have room for. They are in small pots. Anyway those will be my learning plants. I dosed 2 of them with a full dose of terra flores today, and the 3rd I will try out a bit tougher LST on than ive done before.

SoOrbudgal Thank you and much love!

swegrow wishing you and the Mrs. a very bright future to include better lights, patience good things come with patience. It's one of the hardest lessons I've ever learned

2nd big feed today, still only using plain water. About 1,5litres each. I let them dry out almost completely. Last one was 11/3. I think I need more light, wish I could afford another LED but Ill have to wait some time yet. The mrs just started her new job and Ive been the only provider for a time. Looking at a bright future though

[swegrow]

SoOrbudgal Yes! Flowers, poppy, veggies and herbs everywhere! =)

[SoOrbudgal]

Excellent we love veggies mixed into our weed garden

[SoOrbudgal]

Yesterday my neighbor who's building a new home told me to "raid the wood scrapes" if I needed anything. So I did and came home with all sorts and sizes of squares/blocks. I was using old text books LOL

[swegrow]

Got me some wooden block and rearanged this, more even distance to light now.






Also tied down the biggest one to get more light to the lower branches,



My boy helping out, he loves to


Got this small rigg for germination, its been really good. 2x24w t5s and I have a heatmat in the bottom. Right now there is tomatoes, 3 kinds of chili and some other kitchen plants I will put outside in a month or two. I actually grew a couple of autos from start to finish in it for fun. Beautiful healthy plants and I got maybe 10 small joints from the crop =)

[swegrow]

The ladies look good but got a bit slowed down from topping the other day. There is also quite a big difference in size and development on some of the plants, a bit puzzled about that but I hope it will even out eventually.
