New Grower The difference from topping, week 6

[Kel]

So it's our first grow and I already feel like an encyclopaedia and a scientist. We’ve put a lot of effort into researching before and during this grow. Finally we decided to try topping an auto and leaving the rest. The results are confusing but have been educational to date. This is week 6, soil mix of 50% each of plant magic and H&G Bat Guano. Ph has stayed pretty level although it did need bringing down once and we managed it with success, phew! It’s around 6.7/8 so could be a little lower but they seem to be doing fine. We didn’t start nuting these babies until around 2 weeks ago, using BioBizz Grow, Top max and Bloom. Started by using rainwater and switched to tap water. Calmag has been our friend too. But mostly, there has been a significant difference in the one that was topped. For sure we have stunted her growth but WOW!! She is crystally and reaching maturity much much faster, as you can see by the pics, the others are flowering nicely although still very early stage. My own concern is will the others mature within their timeframe with having just 3/4 weeks remaining?! Time will tell. I’ll keep you posted. Any feedback or advice is more than welcome please... ta guys, in a bit

The one flowering looks 3 or 4 weeks away to me. So the others will be longer. Take the schedule seed banks give you and add 2 weeks unless you grow it perfectly. They usually say 70 days are possible, possible meaning done once before.

Welcome @Kel !

You found the Best Place for Auto Growers!



Don't count on the times stated in the seed companies description for the life of a plant. They will usually be longer.


Good luck! If you run into problems just go into The Infirmary for sick plants and ask. You will get answers!

That’s fab, thank you - that puts our minds at rest knowing they can go a little longer. Looking forward to seeing the finale, these girls have done us proud so far
