Hi all,

1st successful grow (so far, I think), and was just wondering if my 2 Gelato Autos are in the flowering stage yet, or still vegetative.

Its been almost 5 weeks exactly since the germinated seeds were planted. I tied down one plant for LST yesterday and am wondering if I did that too late and if I should continue. Pictures below. They are also very small, which concerns me.

Thanks!

Nah they get way to brittle during flower gratz on the shorty( next time try giving them more light early on and you may get better overall growth but any success for your first grow IS AWESOME)

I let my Autos do their own thing with no interference from me. 👍
