Looks good to me bro. Now watch all the under growth explode from the bottom! Every day or so you have to tie them down further. Just be careful and try not to snap stems. If you do easy fix with honey and electrical tape.

Hi I’ve got a quick question. I have an auto in her 4th week of flower almost a week ago I noticed the pistils on the main cola start to brown. Slowly most every bud site started to brown. She has been inside the tent from gate so no chance of pollination and I know that pistils go brown eventually but I’ve not see. This before. The plant is supposed to finish between 6-8 weeks so I don’t know if she is just getting older or what. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks all.

@Elysium your going to have a very purple plant and buds. Its normal i wouldnt worry really. Pistils tend to come in waves. White to brown then itll fill out a bit and new ones will appear and repeat until finished.

The Support Ticket that @Myfriendis410 posted will help us help you diagnose any potential issues that may or may not be happening though. Just copy and paste it to a new thread. Starting a journal with that info would be best.

Should I just use ties or should I get some metal things to pin down the leaves?

Whatevers clever. Keep it simple though. Youll be removing and repositioning all the time throughout the grow. Thats why i use gear ties. Theyre super heavy duty silicone twist ties for the most part. I can grab anything i want and lock it to anything i want. Theyre amazing for lst

How are they looking?? Am I doing it right I adjusted them down a little more and started pinning stuff down with some metal rods



3weeks old i stopped lst on one of them and kept trying it on the other. The one I stopped it was kind of scaring me to do it with.

Water till 15% or so of the water comes out of the bottom of the container for soil grows.

It’s hard to tell if the pots are up a little off the pan. If they aren’t, get something to rise them up so the pot doesn’t stay wet.

When you water heavily, do so again only when the pot gets light again. Probably every 5 days or so at this point.

MJ is naturally used to periods of dry… Like I said… just water till it runs off (completely saturated all soil in the container) then wait several days until it feel light again. That’s the ticket.

I use a large turkey baster to suck the excess up out of the catch pan and dispose of it.

Thankyou both very much I’ve been afraid to water because they said most failures is due to over watering so I’ve been timid on watering I did a half gallon each tonight in a few days I’ll saturate it

Yeh, good point. It’s overwatering in frequency… Not amount.
