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.

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!

LOL get ready to become a barber just alittle off the insides please.

=) I will se how I go about that, should I cut the big fanleaves lowest on the stem now or wait? They seem to put alot of shade over the smaller flowers lower on.

 

[swegrow]

Thank you!

Today I removed the biggest fan leaves, they where on node 5-6 or something like that and they shadowed all the lower flower sites, even with the branches LSTd to get out from the stem. Was this the right call to make? Im going by instinct and a little bit of googling here. Would love your experienced advice on matters like this. The leaves where the size of my palm.

You did a good thing - couple of days and you'll see a difference.

 

[swegrow]

Good to know, thank you! Looking forward to it.

 

[Daskahn]

To explain it a little in detail.. yes I agree you did a good thing.. because those big fan leaves were blocking new bud sites.. by taking them off you open them up to the light increasing your end yield

 

[swegrow]

Thank you Daskahn.

Full feed with nutes today. Iam nervous already about burning them.

Anyway I had a branch break a just after transplant on one of the plants. Put it in the dirt in on of our hoseplants and forgot about it. Found it today, rooted and seeking the light. Persistent and strong little thing =)

[SoOrbudgal]

Feed with bio blom and top max (biobizz) yesterday. I can notice some yellow leaftips on a couple of plants (since a couple of days ago) , not sure if this is from to much nutrients or from being to close to the light? The one most affected are in the centre directly under the LED and its one of the tallest so Im leaning towards light (its 18" above). Im just guessing though, would love your input and suggestions. Here are some pics.

Browsed facebook marketplace when having my coffe this morning. Got lucky and found a lady who had a bunch of used but in good condition t5s 2x34w, complete with fitting and reflector etc. They are like 60" long. Picked 2 up for about 20 dollars each. Dont know what to use them for yet but that deal was to good to not go along with.
