That's all that matters! Sometimes I just pack some extra soil around them and stand them up that way. Lol

And I will water first thing in the morning and she should give me results by the afternoon
Lol I started to do that then I got curious on how she would grow of i left her like that and then incorporated some lst later on
Lst is amazing! Just make sure u create an anchor where the stem and soil meet at the bottle of the plant. Have the anchor pulling in the opposite direction of the way in which u are going to b pulling your stalk over for training. Looking at the plant where it is now I would anchor pulling to the right and pull the top to the left, completely opposite the way its growing lol I usually don't start training until the top of the plant can b bent over and reach even with the side of the pot when u bend it to almost 90°
Anchoring stops uprooting of the plant when your pulling on it for training

Alright, I'm caught up on the conversation...So shes nice and healthy looking. Lol, I too just pack extra soil around a seedling if it needs it. Especially if I am transplanting, I may bury 2-3" if needed. You may try and lower the light a couple inches, even 1" a day after, until it stops stretching, or stands up. If you start to nitce she is getting stressed looking, just take the light back up 1-2 inches. Even if it starts to grow crooked, it's no big deal. Haha, might be a good starting point to do LST. This is a plant that had all the light it needed, and was directly under it, but grew crooked naturally.
You can see around the 4th nod it just decided it was time to go straight.
So LST is an amazing tool, and a great way to learn your plants in a very intimate manner. By constantly having your hands/eyes in there (at least I do) you will have a better chance at catching problems. I have 2 now that do not have any, and they are the only 1's I did not lst, ever. (100% indica, short bushy, and enough tops already) These are a few plants that I have done rather heavy training on. The first 2 have been topped, and super cropped, and are not techniques recommended for autos. I am just trying to point out what you can do if you tie a plant down. I also use a small plastic coated wire, and do not recommend that either. They can cut in to the plant, and do anything from stunt it, to kill it. I happen to adjust EVERY SINGLE LST daily. Something like pipe cleaners, twine, garden tape, or even a fat coated wire would be much better choices. Again, just showing examples on what can be done with it.
Amnesia photo, in my current grow, topped at the 3rd nod. The plant was very close to the soil, so I lead the shoots to the edge of the pot, and let them grow up from there.
This is a Night Terror OG photo. Here I topped at the 5th nod, super cropped (broke and bent the stem over in a 90 degre angle), and ran the shoots out as described above. The Amnesia looks close to this where the branches are LSTd. The 1st pic is this mornings wiring, and the second is about 3.5 hours later. Plants tend to respond to LST pretty fast, as they are looking for the light.
This is another Amnesia, but this girl was done with LST only. She ended up being 14" wide, and only 6" tall. There is an anchor on this 1, but it is covered by ground cover.
This is her harvest minus 1 (2) branch that I pollinated. (shhh i quick dried and smoked a branch too) Keep in mind this was in a micro cab, and intended to be a small plant.
So sorry about filling you wall with pics, I had to copy and paste most of them from my journal. I don't have the originals on my PC to make thumbnails. One thing I would recommend is getting some kind of ground cover on your soil. I won't leave
you with a book here, as I have already typed up one here.>>> https://www.autoflower.org/threads/groundcovers-and-the-benefits-they-can-provide.50080/ Take a look if you get a few minutes. There are lots of examples, and most are free options too. Glad to see shes doing good bud, take care.:smoking:

What's up folks thinking hard about feeding in the next 2 or 3 days any suggestions on feeding? I'm using gh grow gh mirco and gh bloom I also have some call mag and a few additives do not know the names right now. I plan on only feeding once a week. I plan on stopping once I see about 5-10 % runoff any other suggestions? Thanks!!!
Gave her a few caps of water this morning to help and she is loving it really think I should start feeding. Day 8 of veg
Under the lights running at 50 %

Hey bud. As far as what to feed her, I wouldn't give her much. She is a nice lush green, and so is her cotyledon I use earth juice nutes, so my millage may vary. I'm also not familiar with your growing medium. If anything I'd do a light touch of nitrogen, cal/mag, and maybe some micro nutrients. That would just be precautionary in my case. I feed my girls nutes 2-3 times a week in veg, and daily in flower, but I don't use GH. I also try to maintain a moist medium by using smaller quanties, and don't go by the wet/dry methods. 1-2 times a week in flower I will use something different. It may be an enzyme from malted barley, earth worm casting tea (EWC Tea), just pH'd water with potassium silicate (this is in every feeding), I'm sure DPete could give you a better answer. Take care.:smoking:
Thanks man I just think she is ready just want to make sure the soil has lost the nutrients it started with I been meaning to get ec and ph pens but I'm kinda budgeting at the moment. But I will have one in the near future. I believe that they only last about 7-10 days then I can add my own nutrients to it
