Hello people,
This season I'm growing a single autoflower outdoor (Afghan Kush Auto by Fastbuds) and I think I messed up with too agressive LST.
Everything was going smoothly up until day 20, where I bent her up like this. A few days later I pushed the arc further down, but then regreted it and pushed it back up since growth seemed minimal. Now I'm on day 28 and this week's progress worries me. A few new leaves and that's it. No real side branches developed which was the whole purpose of the LST, the main stem didn't thicken, and compared to what I see on the breeders website, on day 28 the plant should be about double the size.
This is now (day 28):
As you can see progress in the crucial part of veg was minimal. I'm confident that sunlight (5 hrs. direct, not great, not terrible), soil, watering, feeding and T° are on point. I think I just stressed it too much with that agressive LST and now I don't know if I should do something. Flowering should start anytime and I'm thinking I will not even get 40 grams out of this. Any opinions? Is this size normal for a 28 day plant or am I screwed?
