Check my first plant, pre flowering after 20 days?

Perfect now everything will grow up toward the light. This would be amazing if you had a powerful light as the lower branches would catch up. I agree with that light not strong enough for flower.

Does it look okay? I'm just afraid that the bended branch would touch the tent at the side, if grown more, it is pretty close!
About the light,t thannow I just need to buy a powerful one (or two)! Any suggestion? Considering size of the tent and being carefully with the bills ( it's okay to spend a bit more but not to double up the bills)

Your plant will grow toward the light. So it’s not going to continue sideways. At some point it will grow back toward it. The stronger the light the quicker it does it. I usually have to adjust mine every day in stretch.

I usually start mine early and bend every branch as they grow. Tie them down and keep them there. Leaving it loose enough for the plant to grow.

Flowering time for this girl should be 6/7 weeks but after 20 days it looks already starting flowering.
6-7 weeks is the amount of time they say she will be IN flower once she starts. The flowering time will probably be longer than that as breeders always say their plants will mature faster. It helps sell seeds.

23 days from germination, LST applied again to lower the main stem, getting light slightly closer, temp 25c humidity 50%, 18/6.

Still feeding with grow supplements, not yet passed to bloom food..

Anything u would change?

I would tuck that big ass fan leaf in the center under something or move it somehow. There’s probably a branch under there right in the middle of your light, covered by a leaf. I would cut the leaf but without enough light try and bend it out of the way.

Okay so u mean move the leaves that are on top of the stems in order to not cover them and expose them better to the light? Not sure which one is the big ass leaf in the center, there are a lot of fat one on the way.

My bad I was looking at the first pic somehow still. Not sure what I did there my apologies.

I’d say it’s looking better and you are going to get a few more branches with that LST. Just let those branches come up toward the light. Only tie them down if they get taller than your main cola. (It probably won’t make it that high but for future grows)

For future grows NOT NOW ITS TOO LATE NOW

But for future grows here’s what I would have done when you tied that plant down. I would have put a second one where my yellow line is. Pull that second spot down to really flatten that main branch.

yeah perfect that's what i thought too, if i would have started LST before probably the main branch would have been lower, but at this stage i guess the only thing i can do is to try to keep all the stem at the same level.

Should I already start feed her with bloom food? Or am I doing right giving her grow food?

I'm also kind of trying to move her so that the lower stem are more in the centre than the higher, so they tend to grow more in height while the higher stem move towards the centre.

I actually did it, but I moved it cause as an idiot i had put it on the preflowering bit, will do next time! Thanks!

What i'm doing now is to bring day by day the rope a bit lower but it's getting harder cause the branch is thick and stiff.

Don’t get greedy keep that tie down where it is. You do not want to snap that main branch. Trust me, been there done that

what nutrients are u using? They need both right now with more emphasis on veg.

Looks pretty simple I would just try and follow the instructions best you can. Maybe someone who uses that will come across this post and help!

if not just start a new thread in the nutrients section. Ask away!

Thank u so much mate!

Last thing, to power up the light, on another topic of this forum they suggest me to purchase the below light, I was thinking to get it, what u think? I just need to be careful considering the really small size of the tent.

I’m not sure on LEDs I’ve never used them. It looks like it will be enough for one plant. It says flowers 1.5x1.5
You use CFL too? Why never considered a LED? I'm just thinking about it cause it should be a huge level up from what I understand, it's not cheap, so I want to be sure before purchase it

LED lighting is better for:
  • Use over the full growth phase
  • Energy savings & lifetime
  • Yields
CFL lighting is better for:
  • Beginners as the cost is low
  • Clones & seedlings
  • Growing smaller plants/keeping plant size under control

I use HPS and yes always research so you’re sure of what you’re getting.
