Great job on the LSTing and she looks to be recovering nicely with the new tops.

Thanks, Brother!
As I was looking at what to feed the Bonsais, I realized I have hundreds of dollars of hydro nutrients and Doc's kit.
I was tempted to just feed the plants with the hydro nutes, but, since I use AN's PH-Perfect line, the PH will be much too low for soil. So, I splurged some more and just ordered some quart bottles of Fox Farm's Grow Big & Big Bloom. The Big Bloom is part of the veg nutes (it's got guano, etc.). I did not get their Bloom formula since it's only for the Bonsai mom's which will stay in veg.
Now, I'm tempted to run a hempy or two just to use up all those AN nutes!

QUICK PIC UPDATE
Plants are doing well and, the ones with early issues are recovering nicely.
Here's some shots of the BAK. You can see how I spread out her four tops with LST:
Fruit Punch is looking great:
The two Tuts:
Two Orange Crush seedlings:
Happy Harvests!

CRAZY UPDATE!!!
OK....This is my first time growing autos, and perhaps, my last!
The Lucy-25 Auto just hasn't looked right from day#1. Soon after she sprouted, I did change the lighting schedule to 24/0 to make sure she was getting plenty of light.
She's about 4" tall and in a 4" pot, currently.
When I took her out of the cab to check her out, I almost crapped my pants!
See if you can tell why:
If you can't tell from that pic, these will help:
Yeah, that 4" tall plant is in flower!!!
I was gonna toss it, but since she can flower in the veg cab and is so small, I'm just gonna leave her there and let her do her thing. I figure it will be fun, if she makes it and looks decent, to enter her in the POTM contest. I'm betting nothing under 6" has ever won POTM!
Happy Harvests!

Could it need nitrogen? The yellowing leaves say nitro to me.CRAZY UPDATE!!!

I don't believe it's a N deficiency (or, not just N). She's only 3 weeks above ground. However, based on her already being in flower, she likely needs a lot heavier feedings that she's been getting and now needs a boost in P & K, so I need to get her on some bloom nutes. I'm just going to use some of the hydro nutes on her and hope they don't screw up the PH too badly.

A Nitrogen deficiency also causes early flower. a low Phosphorus can cause a low calmag issue. Thats all i got.

All good & appreciated, Brother!
I think it's a Calcium issue, or at least looks like one. Tut #1 is showing it, also, while Tut #2 looks fantastic. It's some very small "rust spots" on the leaves. The leaf does appear to eventually yellow, but still early to tell since so few nodes.
The Lucy-25 basically has her node with the codyledons, plus two true sets of leaves. The node with the cotyledons is slightly yellow, but that doesn't surprise me. On the first true node, if you look carefully, you can see the rust spots on the leaves which aren't yellowing. So far, the newest growth looks OK.

His is caused by just being an auto. About half the time this is what I get from autos.....a wimpy dwarf.

Yeah, just another reason I personally don't like autos. The biggest one, though, is that you can't clone them!

Nitrogen isnt known for spots. A nice bloom nutrient and maybe a PK booster might just clear that all up. And i was wrong about low phosphorous causing calcium deficiencies. Both P and K will cause calcium and magnesium issues if they are in excess.

What causes the leaf discoloration?
I'm no auto expert but I've seen enough grows on the Mag here to know that autos start flowering when the roots hit the sides and bottom of the container. I was told to start autos in their final container and not to transplant them.
I'm gunshy of autos. Not that I have worked with them much. For acouple reasons,, first, the auto flower genetics started out as strong as the ditch weed we smoked from the hemp fields in Ind. Now I do know,,, they ain't no more... But it is still what one might call,,, cutter? And second is the unpredictable of the sprouts/plants. One might yield 2 oz's and the next outta the same seed, 1/2 oz or even less. I know alot of people going to disagree. And like said,,, autos are and have come along ways as far as quality. And I've seen some monster autos grown on here... Even myself with a pound and a half of mid-range buds off one. I mean THC claims are getting up there with the claims of alot of photo plants.
And yea,, you can't clone them.
But if ones looking for a 24% plant,, I don't think you'll get it with autos?

Mornin Krip and friends...ya eh Norcal....Autos....Bahhh! If i was to ever try em. I would make sure to start them out in my 26ers and see what happens....but tbh i'm like Norcal....afraid of them a lil...lmao.
Enjoy the weekend Krip , Norcal, and friends!

Ive thought about growing some autos, but it seems like the benefit of speed goes away when you get into high performance autos. I was liiking at Think Big and its sister Think Different. Both high yielding but the size is as big as a normal plant and the time isnt that much better. Schiznit from Short Stuff looks interesting, but my issue is if youre going to grow you might as well go with regular or fem. photo. Unless size and speed are the drivers. Not to sure about autos They sound a little unstable

PIC UPDATE!
Still having some challenges getting everything dialed in and set for the new round, but for the most part, pretty happy with the way we're sitting. The biggest thing working in my favor is that the contractors, who I expected would be finished two weeks ago, still have another week or two to finish, which buys me some more time before I can get the tent setup.
So, with that in mind, I did take another cutting from the BAK, so she's down to three primary colas (which, ultimately, will all get cut, too!) and two more secondary. She's a vigorous grower, doing great and looking good, so no issues with the BAK:
I'm also really happy with the Fruit Punch. She's recovered beautifully from the early (what appeared to be!) calcium issues and is starting to bush out:
Of the two Tut's, Tut #2 is doing great! She's got some huge leaves, growing nicely, and, if I had to make the decision on which to keep for a mom without being able to sample a harvest, she would be the clear winner:
Tut #1, on the other hand, has been having issues pretty much since she sprouted, and again, it sure looks to me like a Calcium deficiency. Not sure why this is, but PH is good, so just upped the dose of Cal-Mag to her diet to see if she responds.
Here's what the leaves look like...Anyone think this is something other than Calcium???
I'm pretty sure she'll make it and ultimately recover, but the issues have undoubtedly effected her early development and, of course, I'm a little concerned I'll have similar issues with her clones, which makes me inclined to keep Tut #2 as the mom (unless/until I pop another Tut seed!) and just flower Tut #1 in the first round.
Happy Harvests!
