This is my first auto grow, I have done about 5 or 6 photosynthesis grows, but as a daily smoker with bud hard to find I need something fast and productive since I only have room for one pot in my grow box. Ive been putting it under CFL's at night (its 2 2500 300W 3600L / 1 6500 200W 4600L / 2 2500 100W 1200L) note new cfl growers just because you have 4 or 5 light bulbs does not mean add up all the watts and its equivalent, having multiple lights just gives light to different angles from just having one directly above. Feb 1,2015 Feb 20,2015 March 5,2015 March 10,2015 From doing research, I find we all freak out on autos this stage because they stay short and bushy. This is what you want. This means its getting enough light SO LEAVE IT ALONE it will stretch. Look what this one did form March 10 to the 23. March 23,2015 March 27,2015 Instead of toping I just LST the main stem sideways and the lower nodes grew in its place. LST is the bread and butter of autos (unless you want a Christmas tree ha) This is the bottom of the plant, there's so much veg growth its crazy. If this was a reg I would have lollipoped it, because there's not a good flow of circulation going on. Also the lower leaves are touching the dirt, ever time I water I nute burn the lower leaves and I feel like these are gna be nut blockers. Any advice from auto growers? I don't want to stunt especially because its already deep into flowering. 3/30/2015
You could always LST them upwards. Tie them up on a stick then fold when obstruct light from new growth. You dont want to risk stunting them at this point by cutting those lower leaves. Its better to be safe. Good luck.
Yeah I decided to just let them turn yellow and fall off, I was worried bout them being nute blockers but your right I think id overall kill my yield if I start fucking with it. Ill let it grow and see what it does
