Comically enough, yesterday i was reading a thread about how people who hate cats are evil and that cats actually are awesome. Anyway i left the door open to my balcony and my little bitch slut of a cat apparently ate my week and a half old white widow plant.... so that wasnt cool.... haha i still love her and im guessing the plant made her want to eat it because ive never seen her eat or chew on any of my other plants in my house. hahah i wonder if she got high or something. Ill have a picture up of here soon

O and i was flipping threw my pictures to find one of her which i didnt but instead i found a picture of my first grow ever..... i believe it was when i was 16, it was a 13w cfl and the plants were about 8 inches away from the light so that was prety amusing.

stretch city..... population...... me hahah

That plant looks great! It may look kind of stretched on the bottom but that's normal.Be prepared for another growth spurt given the right ph and light.

Your fan leaves will start growing out. You have now moved from seedling stage to vegetative stage ;)

Also if your going to do any lst id start now. If you going to top you should be doing that within the next week or so when you start getting a few true nodes.

Pm me if you got questions dude, I check this thread every now and then so if you need me quick pm is the way to go

:peace:

Id love to try to LST, FIM, or Top but i feel as though for autos it might be too stressful with little to negative benefits because their lifespans are so short. What do you guys think, especially Sr. Verde?

Don't top an auto, LST is fine, the more light to all parts of the plant the better honestly. Just don't top or you will regret it. They literally pop into flowering. Mine took only 18 days to sex and a few days of stress from topping would just leave you with less yield.

Just make sure the stem doesn't get super thick like mine did. Now I cant LST from the main stem. Air flow in general around the plant will thicken that stem like a beast.


For LST you tie down the branches exposing the what I call "in between" growth so the buds there aren't airy, and fluffy. I'm no LST master though.

Damn im reading the guide and its kinda intimidating and seeing as i have never actually harvested a plant b4 i really dont want to hurt them or mess them up.
My first real grow was my "weird plant grow" in my sig which i am still flowering, and let me tell you that thing is a retard.

Ohhh they're autos my bad. Usually you give a plant a week to recover & thrive from topping, you don't have that time into flowering. LST is cool. Just remember to do the hard bending a few hours AFTER you give it water. I have made the mistake of training branches right after watering, I snapped some stems! If you give them a few hrs to absorb the water they will be a lot easier to bend.

I'm bad at remembering exactly what people are using lol
