So i haven't updated in a few days but i was trying not to over water and actually killed my two smallest ones by keeping them get too dry. So i guess it is just la diva and blue mammoth. They are experiencing some leaf canoeing but I'm not to worried. Should i be? I actually just bent little la diva over letting her grow horizontally for now trying to get some more bud sites

I subbed up here bud. I'm about 1 week away from doing my first grow, berry ryder auto's. I too chose auto's because of the learning curve before i get into anything too complicated.
I wouldn't top your plants as ive heard that can stunt auto's, but LST is fine.
wish you had some pics up, i think people will be able to help you much better with a few. Good luck, i'll be watching and trying to help and learn myself.

And here is the blue mammoth. Not a mammoth yet by any means but I still have high hopes for this girl. Definitely some major canoeing on her though. I think this was due to heat stress and my broke ass needing better ventilation (which should happen within the next couple of weeks). Until then I just keep the door open with the ac on like 71 and my ceiling fan on high and a small fan by the tent to help blow some of the hot air out.

Interesting, I'm always intrigued by growers who find their own ways of doing things, what do you do with the coat hanger ? is it a fixture to tie the plant down to ?

Actually for the time being I am only using the coat hanger for its weight. I am just using it to keep the stem layed over. I used it because it is heavy enough to lay the stem over but not so heavy that it lays all the way onto the soil. Just my noob form of training I guess. Lol

Yeah, just make sure the thermometer isn't in the direct radiant heat of the light or you can get a misleading temps reading. I myself have my thermometer roughly about the height of the top of the plants and with the bottom bulb bit shaded from direct light, it don't even have to be close to the plants cos with a circulating fan going the temps will be the same roughly at all points in the grow room

Purely as a matter of interest seeing as how I like to see folk improvise, this is what I use to tie mines down, its garden twine connected to garden clips which you can buy for virtually pennies ( or cents ) from local garden stores, I put a hook in the twine and then attach it to the clip then clip it to the rim of the pot, saves ruining a pot by drilling holes in it like many growers do, I then hook a branch down using the hook in the twine and that keeps height down a bit. So don't worry about the coat hanger lol everyone devises their own little gadgets to use whilst growing .
