Day 24 photos of my 2 WW autos below…I’m no expert but I’d say things are going pretty well! I’ve been really light with the fox farm veg nuts with no evidence of plant stress. I know to wait until 1 week after flowering to flip to the bloom setting on my led light and bloom nuts.

My question is…what else should I prepare for? Am I missing anything? I don’t want to mess up now 🙂

Thanks!

Thanks! I think I’m going to get a trellis and go with SCROG. the plants look great but they are only around 4" tall. Should I raise the light some so they grow taller? Also, i read I should wait To see 4-5 nodes before topping? Does that apply to autos b/c they flower sooner?
