New Grower First Grow (Fruit Auto / CFL / Soil / Small space)

I think that looks like a nice framework to be going with for now, and almost identical to what I'm using at the moment, but I think the most important thing to pay attention to for us is to try and listen to what our plants are telling us xD

If she looks like she could wait a bit before getting her next feed, you can hold off 1/2 a day to a day to let the soil dry a bit more and let the beneficial oxygen into the pot before the next feed. On the other hand if you want to treat her, and give her a nice big feed occasionally, that's cool too so that you make sure the entire root system is getting equally fed.

One thing that was recommended to me regarding the supplements to the nutrients that I'm trying is to add Molasses (as a cheap replacement to ANs Carboload product), which is a carbohydrate that feeds the organisms in the soil, it's not something directly feeding the plant, but it feeds the beneficial microbes already in the soil, that help with the nutrient intake.

And as always, best wishes!

watering-feeding is one of the biggest challenges i'm dealing with, there are some delayed feedbacks as well as quick ones. i'll try to do my best. yep i've molasses, now it's in my plan so Carboload can wait* i hesitate to give big feeds but i can give a shot. i really appreciate your help and support, best wishes mate a good grow karma coming your way

I know what you mean about hesitating with big feeds... What I've done with mine is twice given her the regular feed, in your case you said 500ml of feed, and then i water over the top of that with plain water until there's a tiny but of run off so i know all the soil has got wet, and then waited until the soil was quite dry on the top before going back to the normal schedule.

No matter what you do though, as long as she doesn't get too wet and stay that way, or too dry, I think she'll be doing just fine

day 25... she started to show pistils on the top node.
i've prepared my pot for lst but i did not start yet, she is a really short plant when i try to bend it some leaves touch the soil
and it seems watering become a problem with a bended plant. any advice would be great as usual love&peace

If a leaf couldn't be tucked away during LST and absolutely had to go, I'd cut it. She looks a healthy girl, I'd get a rope on her and start applying a little tension, just aiming to open her up a little at first in the right direction so maximum growth nodes are encouraged. Good luck

after reading your advice i tried to do again without cutting (it was really hard) and placed a 23 w bulb for support, it seems oky for now!? i'll be watching how lower growth responses. thank you mate

No worries man, just look at her all beautiful and spread out now. I predict pleasing results

And massive thanks for the rep

Dadabud I haven't checked in in a while but I can tell ya gardener helped ya out and that bending her over WIL pay off. You have a beautiful plant growing and those bushy girls come alive when you bend them that way... you'll get many tops now. Just be easy and progressive with the pressure don't try and do to much at once and you'll be golden

here is a picture from yesterday (day 30)

yep i've done some lst but she didn't give some good feedback, i'm sure it was my mistake.
i untied the ropes yesterday and trying to figure out what is wrong.. by the way there are 2 little bulbs for support

She still looks a very healthy plant. I think you needed to give it more time, and it'd benefit from LST still. I believe she'll be entering a period of explosive growth now and laying her down would have helped/managed this. Whatever you choose I'm sure you'll get some nice weed regardless. Good luck

if i have more time i definitely choose to lay her down thank you again
