First grow

Yeah I was thinking it would be...right now I'm watering nightly but in small amounts that way it can get the biggest oxygen exchange. By then it should be big enough to support a heavier watering.
 
Got my light ordered today. Went with viparspectra 300 watt leds. And I ordered my nutes today also. It will all be here Sunday. I went with general hydroponics nutes off of someone's recomendation. I posted a picture of her today with this post. How is she looking?

Hey TG, glad you got your new light, she will love the light,
You 2 are doing great, keep it up, be careful with the distance of the light from your plant, 18-22 inches away should be OK.
 
Looking real good so far! Keep a close eye on her but try not to stress over every little thing (easier said than done) and you'll do great!
 
So I have been looking into getting the most out of my plant. To me it seems that low stress training would be the best for the autoflower because topping will slow down growth till it repairs itself. Since it has a set veg time u can't let it repair and grow again before u flower it. Is this sound about right. Or is topping ok with an auto flower. And does lst really work good?
 
Some say yes, others say no. The bottom line though is an auto needs to be really healthy to top it and get away with it.
 
Ok thank you Dutchman...i think I'm just gonna try the lst for now. When I get through these autos I'm think I'm gonna do a photo and mainline it. That looks awesome. By then I will have a real tent and all
 
So I got her under her new lights and in her final home yesterday. Went with the viparspectra 300 watt led grow light. Got nutrients started yesterday as well. How long does it take signs of nutrient burn to show. I know she isn't yet but I wanna know when to be expecting it if she is getting to much. How does everyone think she looks?

20-24 hours later you will see tip burn if you gave her to much. Some autos don't like alot of nutrients an some do.
 
I will wait till day two and if the hul is still on I give it a nudge with a sterile pin.... just a nudge though if it doesn’t move I will wait a few more days. Nothing like being to over aggressive and nocking the little ones over!
 
So my plant is 22 days old today. I have noticed the growth has seemed to slow. Over the past two days it hasn't moved much. Is this seem normal. Could something be wrong here. I posted two pics. One from tues day and one from today.

Beautiful plant no Nute burn ( I know you were worried). Youll need to transplant to a bigger pot in the next 3-5 days
 
I cant transplant it bc it's an auto. Thx for the comment. I was worried I might give it to much. It isn't meant to get very tall though. Three feet-ish
 
That's an awful small-looking pot to expect 3' out of. The lil lady will be rootbound before she flowers!
 
If it dont make it to three foot it's ok...its my first grow...and I have learned so much. So that is worth it to me. I know what to do different next time. Like put it in a bigger pot. I have proper lighting now. So that's a lesson I learned.
 
It would still work out better transplanting to a bigger pot than not doing it even if it is an auto. It will be much more restrictive in a small pot than the possible transplant shock. If you transplant right you may get little to no shock. Ive done it many times and they usually recover in a day. many times they have no shock at all.
Its just such a beautiful plant, its going to need a bigger pot badly soon. Id really encourage you to put it in something bigger.
