Another First Time Grow

[NuttyProfessor]

ok here wee go , i am flushing one at the mo , found a small bit of mold on her , breaks your fecking heart mold

i use plant magic , just changed to this because of the extra cal/mag , use their boost and then i use a sweetener
I also use a res , mix my nutes add a fish tank heater and a fish tank air pump to get oxygen to the roots , im lucky though i have room , but if you find somewhere to store a tank go for it, it saves time and effort

i then use as small can , sometimes i would do one fill sometimes two , depending on the size temps etc , its best to feed with one. then go around them all agin with another ,it gives them soaking time

@TheNuttyProfessor before I water, any ideas on the cause of these leaf tips/ brown spots? I upped Cal mag a bit so I'm not sure

 

[NuttyProfessor]

the tiny spots could be as little cal needed , it could also be a splash from when you last fed ,
when you get casl/mag issues check your ph chart to see where the best range for these are , i think about 6.2 so you want to ph to that and put temps to about 27 , this will help her get every thing quicker

 

[NuttyProfessor]

sorry the cal is a lot lower in hydro its about 5.6 5.8 you want then up to the 6.2 for mag

 

[barillaro]

@TheNuttyProfessor Ahh ok just flushed with a gallon of ~420ppm nutes @6.05 ph. Will check how they're doing in a few hours and adjust accordingly, if it gets worse I'll get lower ppms @5.8 pH since it will be taking magnesium better at current feed levels

 

[barillaro]

Runoff is at 6.2ph and 470ppm, about all excess nutes rinsed out.
Also raised lights 2" to accommodate for plant growth

 

[barillaro]

No further sign of any deficiency, they loved the heavier feeding. Next feed in a day or so at a lower pH ~5.8 for some calcium intake

Will also re-establish some LST once the girls are about an inch taller.
Both are very springy and healthy

 

[barillaro]

is this what I should be going for with lst?

 

[Reave]

That will likely work. I usually try and hook the stem part personally but I’m also a noob.

So stem doesn't necessarily have to bend then? Just opening up leaves?

 

[Reave]

Guess I shouldn’t have posted that succulent. It has stiff stems so I have to be much slower and more careful. I’ll go take a pick of my plants here is a sec.

I have topped these first but the idea is still the same.

 

[Reave]

Read this if you haven’t that is probably easier. How I perform LST, low stress training, on my Autoflowers: lots of pics!

Got it , thanks Reave I'll give a read through right now

 

[barillaro]

In a growth spurt at the moment, this was 10 hours after previous pictures were taken

 

[NuttyProfessor]

now your cooking ,

 

[Reave]

Oh wow those look great. Good job.

Appreciate the kind works guys, wouldn't have made it this far without you and the others who've helped along the way

 

[barillaro]

Sorry to bug you but I was wondering if I can get the @InTheShed LST approval or maybe some tips

Some plants don't take well to LST, particularly not the short bushy ones like you appear to have! At this stage I'd do my best to keep the fans off the soil. I use stones under each leaf as a spacer.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

as the old saying goes , walk before you run , i would just see these ones through then maybe get some training done on the next set , study how these grow first
