Maybe I'm just being paranoid where this is my first grow but these girls are at day 20 from sprouting and are only about 3 inches from the soil. I did pick off the first 2 sets of nodes and feed them a little bit of recharge about 3 days ago. All three are Autos planted in ocean forest, lights are about 18 in from the plants and running 20/4. I'm gonna water today do yall think I should give it a light feeding with flora flex (like a third)?






Don't give small plants nutrients, there's enough in the soil already at a that stage. Also, don't top Autos is the general consensus although I have by mistake and it didn't seem to make much of a difference. When I top I just take the first node off and you'll see it split in two
I guess I was just comparing my plants to others around this day and others have LST going on and mine are sitting so low that it would be hard to bend them over.
I gave them just a few cups of PH'd water last night and they seem to be ok. I was not aware that picking off those bottom leaves would affect it the same as topping it lol
Auto flower and topping usually aren't done being the short grow time and the recovery time that takes from that. As long as they stay healthy they should pick up again start pushing the side limbs out.
