First Grow - 600W HPS - Think Different - Automazar - Soil

[1grower]

Mono thanks for having a look... I think i just lowered it to fast and to much before. Now it stays 23 inches away. I will lower it down a little bit tonight If i see that everythings allright. Then a little more tomorrow. Thanks for the advise if u have anything more u want to share i'll be happy. When to start LST for example

Sounds like you have a good plan.

If you are looking to do some LST, you can start whenever you wish. Start gently, a little at a time and you will get the feel for it. Cannabis plants can take pretty much anything in veg, so experiment away

Okey.. I think i will wait some more few days before i start. I saw that they had stretch today. They are like 15 cm of height but dont have so many leafs. I have lowered the lamp to 16 inches now (~40 cm)? Thank you mono. Im hoping that will make them slow down on the stretching, or what do i know, maybe they are just a stretchy strain. I'd put 1 pack of deadly smoke in the picture for referense.

Day 12

 

[Mono]

When using a HPS bulb for veg, cannabis plants will stretch since the light is not of the best spectrum for vegetative growth. They will essentially stretch upwards looking for the correct type of light

This can be combated in various ways, such as bending. Or by topping / pruning,

Thank you for the info. I read about this before but i must had forget about it. I gonna go look more how other people have done with their think different and automazar and will try do something simular as they. I know i can handle to lst them ... So we see. A few days and attack

I kicked some flowers ass I tied them down and it doesnt look beautiful . Looking like someone walked on them so today Im happy im not a flower.

It's amazing how fast you will see them bounce back up.Beautiful things. happen.

 

[1grower]

Here they are .. Probably in pain

 

[1grower]

J6k.. Lets hope they are happy tomorrow afternoon, coz if they are happy i am happy. Thanks for dropping in

 

[Jimmy6000]

They look to be handling it we'll.If I could suggest 1 thing I would have done different.I would have tied the bottom of the stem,near soil,opposite of the way you are pulling the top down.It will help you from pulling and tearing root's.They look fine tho.This is gonna be fun to watch.

Hey thanks... I was thinking about that.. I've seen it just a few days ago... But the steems wasnt so strong so i did it without to secure them. I was thinking it was ok. Rookie mistake by me thhanks for telling, i will for sure do it next time. (Y) . Lets hope i didnt broke any roots. Fingers crossed..

 

[Jimmy6000]

I am sure there ok.No mistake.That's just what I do.

I did what Jimmy said for my first scrog and the issue I had was that they correct themselves so fast and vigioursly that it didnt produce the desired effect. Using the top of the plant allows for more shoots to grow. Although I must say I hadnt thought about roots being an issue and that is a very valid point! keep us posted and looking good

Okey guys. Making an update. They are alive, still look beaten down but much better today then yesterday.I have trained them all except 2, the one to the right and the one to the left coz they are so small. The nodes starting to grow. Yippiee! In the last picture there are 4 nodes instead of 2 (dubble) ? Happens alot or just sometime? Today when i came back from work I have tried to gently move some leafs so the nodes will have direct light. Does it look ok? I think yes but i want to know your oppinion

 

[geteven]

looking good to me mate

I dont know how well autos like to be trained but they seem to be reacting ok so far!

 

[1grower]

Geteven.. I hope they're ok. I think they are litle small but im sure they will grow up soon. I have addad one extra fan to the grow room cos some of the plants have shown signs of heat- problems. Will see today when im back if they are more happy. Again, thanks for all advice u give me.

Day 15. Today i saw a big difference about growth in just 24 hours. They seem to like the extra fan that i put inside.
They still look little damaged, almost that i felt shy to put pics yesterday. Haha. But here they are...

 

[1grower]

Day 16. I decided to take away the strings... The problem i had before with them stretching was coz i did not have enough air circulation so i couldnt have the lamp as close as needed. I see now the importance of a good air-movement. Dont do the same mistake as me. Have a good air flow!

 

[Mono]

That's some nice looking LST there, are you going to tie them back down again?

 

[1grower]

Hey mono... The nodes are now just under the fan leafs and trying to grow above to have more light. I will give them some days and see whats happen. Or else in a week or so. Thanks for say hello
