Hi Guys, I am a new grower in South Africa and thought i might as well experiment a bit with my first plant. I am growing a Amnesia Lemon Autoflower. I have decided to see how the plant would do if i put it in the outdoor sun during the day and indoors under a big 250 Watt CFL bulb at night(i also have a 60 true watt LED i could add once the plant is a bit bigger, or what do you guys think?) My plant gets about 20 hours of mixed direct sun/light a day. Anyways my plant is 26 days old and i started to low stress train it at about day 15/16. I just want to get your opinions on if it looks like its on the right track for her age? Am I doing the LST correctly? Basically any input you guys have with experience.(BTW i am using the biobizz nutrient range) You will see one picture that has a collage of 3 pictures(this is from week 1-3) Then the other pictures are of day 25 and day 26. Today at Day 26 is when i have started LST with the side branches and is my most recent update on how it looks. P.S i know the one leaf is a bit funky as it have a miner in there but i took care of it.(I did not want to cut as it might cause stress or do you think this would be best to cut it off?) Thanks, xoxo Alice
a aww thanks! glad to hear that. I have really been attentive to this plant and trying to apply the all the research i have done. I know there are so many things that could go wrong so i am quite happy i have not had any major issues yet.
Looks good and I agree. Just keep in mind you’ll most likely be the cause of the issues if they arise so keep it simple and don’t overthink the simple process of keeping a plant alive.
I agree! I have read the main thing new growers do is over water and the medium they are using so i have made sure to not do that and have very aerated soil with a fabric pot so that she can breath and grow a good root structure. Also keeping the recomended dose of biobizz slightly lower as she is an autoflower. She gets water about every 3 days when her soil is dry.
Cutting off one leaf will not cause any stress to the plant. I snip them off all the time, because I eat them Growing autos as well.
