Hey man I'm sorry, I read your journal post this morning and didn't hit send on my response lol it's been a long couple of days.
Torture indeed. What is that in the first picture? Looks kind of like a block of ice. For my LST I am bending the main cola nearly parallel to the ground, then leaf tucking and also staking out some of the longer branches to keep everything even.Hey bud! Healthy looking ladies! I'm doing some torture training aswell
She devil
The skull really adds style to the whole thing! I was going to ask if you tied them in an overhand knot like your shoes, but you went one better by braiding them! Ill definitely be following.The plant was a triplet, I placed an amethyst skull in the center of the stalks to keep them away from each other to give them room to grow. Then I was like wtf I'm gonna braid this shit
Hi thanks for checking in. Post a few pics when you can. I already see the diff between the Gorilla Cookies and the Banana Purple Punch. The GCs are stretching out a little while the BPP is staying tight meaning I may need to defoliate a little to expose the bud sights. Im trying to stress the plants as little as possible so they veg as long as possible, so far Ive resisted taking any leaves.
It's an amethyst skull
good guys
So I got in the habit of tucking or super cropping the leaves to get them out of the way. The tucking is something you kind have to do every day until the budsites grow above the leaf. You could also just use twine, twisty ties, pipe cleaners or something like that and tie the leaves out of the way. That way the plant can still use/cannibalize the leaf if it needs too and the bud sites are able to develop as well. I did most of my defoliating post stretch on my photo plants, I'm not super sure about when you do it on autos.
How's it working out so far?
Now everybody is going to want one!It's an amethyst skull
Give her a day or two to adjust to the LST, it's unnatural for the plant to be repositioned so you don't want to stress her out more. Clean water if needed, small sips. In a day or 2 she should liven up, if not then we got to consult the other Ninja growersThe middle plant seems to be going a little slower than the other two. It started out great, but some time after LST it began to get some curling at the tips of the new leaves. Take a look and see if you have any ideas. It does not look like any of the leaf charts Ive studied, but the twisting leaves symptom usually leads to a Zinc deficiency. I just don't understand why this is happening with the middle plant, Gorilla Cookies ( and very slightly with the Left plant), but the Purple Banana Punch looks perfect!
Twisty baby leaves! Slower growing...

My newer leaves sometimes look that way maybe hold off on the water actually. The rest of the leaves look good on the neck. Just the top has the curl. Is it all rainy there? The humidity in the air is high it'll cause the leaves to do funny things too. Nothings brown or crispy so that's always a blessing.The middle plant seems to be going a little slower than the other two.

Hello, I'm not commenting but asking a question if you would be willing to assist a fellow grower. I have grown in Coco only and use General Hydroponics nutes. I have used Fastbuds 420, IGLM and Barney's Farm for my beans. All autos on my 4th grow. I'm interested in your growing medium and the Grow dots? I have a SFr 2'8"×2'8" ×60" tall tent. I'm using a Mars Hydro FCE-3000 300 WATT grow bar light. I'm only using 2 gallon fabric pots. A 4" exhaust from spider Farmer and I do use a small dehumidifier to keep my babies in range. Indoor of course but in a travel trailer. That is the reason for the shorter height. I've done incredible with my THC content but my yields are def not on par. I do top w/in 21 days on fast growers. I have been growing 4 plants per grow and still not getting the yields I should. I'm moving up to a 4' by 2' tent and going to be putting in ir/uv supplemental lighting. I would love to hear what you think and about the medium, nutes and lighting Im using. You sound experienced and I could use any advice. Happy Growing! MacFor anyone here reading this, thanks for checking in on my first grow diary. After long deliberation I decided to make this an autoflower run. It should finish up just in time to sprout my outdoor seeds. I chose 2 Gorilla Cookies Autos from Fastbuds and they included a Banana Purple Punch Auto for the bonus seed. I was super happy to see the Banana purple punch since I had great luck with Banana Kush Autos last year.

Hi Madmac,
