Hi all, long time lurker and can say how valuable this forum has been as I embarked on my first grow here in Perth, Western Aus. Have a little auto here and it’s been a great learning experience. I’m day 13 into Veg and just completed my first LST 2 days ago exposing a lot of the smaller buds to light which they seemed to have enjoyed. The plant is pretty small, dense and bushy which I know autos do have a habit of doing. Also I know when flowering starts she will get a bit taller. Just looking advice that everything’s looking ok based on the photos. Excuse the weird benders I’ve used to help pin her down a little. Anything anyone can notice from photos that I should be considering at this stage? Colour and health seem ok. It’s just very busy. Upped the light to 530ppfd today and fed/watered yesterday. I think for my next grow I’ll use a smaller pot as this has probably not helped it’s growth in the early stages. Anyways, the top has been folded down and she is now growing a new top as I’ve spread her out. I’m hoping soon she will start to grow taller. ![IMG_0697](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/0/d/1/0d1014531e64b1031d8d772f1fd1035013af412d.jpeg) ![IMG_0698](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/0/4/1042928cee48b3edc60d106e44d7c2f9b9f64893.jpeg) ![IMG_0699](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/7/0/870ff48b29f3059330a06d5c98af62316d35b657.jpeg) ![IMG_0700](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/e/3/0/e30e59e32b8bc2c2fa06a9940a0431bbacbcee4b.jpeg) ---

Welcome! Just keep doing what you’re doing feeding wise since the plant looks happy. You could raise the light a little bit to induce some vertical growth. ---

Thanks Bobby, I’ve just raised it slightly to help her
