All good my friend,They should look like this,till they dry out,the roots will start branching inside the bag....Mine are in two gallon bags since the air pruning is supposed to be "so" good,This is my first time using them,I am seeing how they compare to the 5 gallon plastic pots,which my next batch is in..Peace out my Metal Brother !! Up The Irons !!

Yes, healthy root system = healthy branching and buds.

Time for a weekly update. First I'm feeling pretty good about things, since my goal with this first grow was to just not kill them. Aside from overdoing it a little bit with the nutrients, it doesn't seem like I've messed up too badly. I'm going to list everything I've done this week, and I'm only watering every other day at this point. Alternating between the nutrients, and Recharge.

Per gallon then each plant got half.

10ml Canna Coco A+B
15ml Canna Rhizo
5ml Cannazym
5ml cal/mag

These pics were taken at 19 days, so I guess they should start to stretch next week. Hopefully not too much.

Here is a midweek update with pics, and a couple of questions. I trimmed off a few leaves that didn't look good, there are plenty too spare. I honestly don't know if these are signs of too many, or too few nutrients. Also should I cut more of the big fan leaves off. Most of the leaves in the pics are from the Critical + Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Hey @Steve Austin ,concerning taking fan leaves,I do but I'm not telling you to do it,instead You should read a couple threads since you are in coco they will apply directly to you,in the coco area look for " What truu knows about coco" read all 7-8 pages cause he does cover "removing fan/water leaves" the next thread is " the life cycle of autoflowers" bu muddy,this one is in the new academy,the two should answer plenty of questions you might have.and for anybody else,read it as a refresher ,,,, Peace !!!

Thanks @budelee for us dyslexic/ADD guys research is an arduous task, so it really helps when someone points to the info I need.

Thanks again @budelee, I found this and it makes sense. Looks like I'm getting out the scissors.

Next thing is to properly maintain your plants. Trim those damn monster fan leaves! If you are going to use my system of growing you will notice your plants growing fans that are way to big. These are used to store water and are NOT beneficial to your plant. Here's why, your plant is being fed and trained like body builder. It gets a 5 star meal perfected to its needs 3-5 times a day. Why would it need to store water? Why would it need to shade the lower future bud producers! We don't want that, we want to grant maximum light to those lower branches and allow them to grow to the same height as the main branch! My weekly routine is to pluck all leaves that are shading lower branches. And to allow light through the top canopy. I do this once a week and by the 3rd day after they already have giant fans blocking light again! So don't worry they will not be stunted by you plucking. Start doing this when they become to shady at a young age. By the time they reach 3 weeks they won't even care you removed 80% of their water storage! Notice the nice even canopy of my plants. This is achieved just by me plucking useless shade leaves. And I plucked them 3 days ago!
