Day 8 from popping out of the dirt.
Very nice but I am gonna criticize your watering habits.
Suggest you water in a wide ring around the stalk and not right on it. Also try not to get leaves wet.
And welcome to the community. Thanks for joining us!
Looking good so far, and I agree with keeping leaves dry.
I water around the stalk never directly on top of the plant, you can see some water droplets on the leaves from a spray bottle, I’ll not do that again.
Thanks for the replies tho guys!!!
I topped one of the 2 plants last night at day 14, the other one I’m thinking of not topping
I have twist ties just holding branches out of the way for light to penetrate the areas not receiving the proper light, so far looking good!!!
Welcome @NewbieNickk - looking good!! I would definitely think about getting some soft plant/garden ties if that’s not what that is. My experience is nowhere near as vast as others here, so I’ll stand corrected, but if it’s one of those paper wire twisties like bread or whatever (that’s what it looks like), they could damage the stalk pretty quick. I’d actually get some thicker and some thinner for use on different width branches. Cost should be pretty manageable, maybe <$10 and totally reusable grow after grow.
I use pipe cleaners also. @SandyC @NewbieNickk
I just ordered some LST clips from @CoyoteCody. People who try them seem to be converted. You can read reviews on Etsy (and on this forum too).
Oh my goodness. I thought the first pic was the back of a shirt. Wowza.
Careful there. The consensus on topping autos is after day 20 when you’re in full veg. Topping before then can trigger early flowering or stunted growth. Welcome aboard
Getting them printed out now, i ran out of stock of them a few weeks ago and havent been able to catch up on them because of many many orders are coming in for them, not complaining at all mind you, you guys are just keeping me extra busy lol, i love it! Thank you for the support! Ill try to send you some beans to try as well with them if youd like.
The shirt even has a collar and shoulders. Noone else sees it. Wow…i guess I made a good plant…
@CoyoteCody thank you! I’ll reciprocate if you want some ILGM BB or Runtz autos. I realized it would take me like 2 years or more (with no diversification) to use the 9 each I have after I got them and there’s no ability to trade locally. That is, unless I add gear
I appreciate the offer, you definitely dont have to, but i would love to try one of the runtz, i believe i have a few midnight snack fems i made left, i would say 90% of them have been a beautiful dark purple color.
I will definitely look them up thanks!
Ok, I was under the impression you can top at the 4th or 5th node, I wasn’t aware of days, but I will look into it @Bluntsmoke thanks!
