Youll be good to feed in promix then. As far as i know its a zero base media.Pro-Mix HP which I believ other than the mycorrhizae doesn't have any other nutrients added.
Here's a wider view of my setup btw, so much nice sun coming today. And now realizing I need to clean my windows

Removing lower leaves is a technique often used with photos to focus activity at the top, but I have no experience with autos.Hello all. Nine weeks in.... Budding pretty hard, still growing vertically too, not much yet in the way of trichromes.
I opted not to do any bending, and haven't really done any pruning either. Tempted to remove the largest fan leaves, and a bunch of smaller leaves at the bottom.
Would that stress the plant in bad way? Or would it help redirect energy to the flowering? Would appreciate some feedback. Watering day is tomorrow. Thanks!!!

Also, consider the breeder’s grow timeline like @TSD considers speed limits—they’re suggestions.Removing lower leaves is a technique often used with photos to focus activity at the top, but I have no experience with autos.
Remember, each green leaf is a photosynthesis factory feeding the plant. Fewer leaves means less photosynthesis unless they are already not getting light.
Great looking plant!
I would think that removing bottom leaves like that would also go a long way in regards to keeping PM and other diseases from getting a foothold.Removing lower leaves is a technique often used with photos to focus activity at the top, but I have no experience with autos.

start thinking about keeping it where it's at or attempting to setup a more serious grow area and start playing with photoperiod seeds.

Just a thought if you are enjoying your experience and want to delve further into it or try and produce more per grow
@Mothman – Thank you!!! Started out rough but she is definitely looking proud now! This is why I haven't attempted any bending or pruning, she was under so much stress at first (all due to my cluelessness) that I am hesitant to do anything more.Great looking plant!

The ones I'm eyeing for clipping are the largest fan leaves near the top, they are blocking a lot of light from the smaller Xmas tree branches on the sides... The plant only has about two weeks leftI think, according to the breeder it finishes in 11 weeks. Part of me wants to clip, other part of me feels like I should just chill, absorb the stuff I've learned so far, carry this through to harvest, and experiment with higher stress techniques on the next grows.Pruning off a few leaves at the bottom shouldn't affect the plant.
Best just sit back n watch it grow patiently lol...and apparently making all the mistakes too!
Hello all, started my first grow now that it's legal in my state, finally. I'm in an apartment, with a wife and pets so can't do anything big or elaborate. I want to attempt to just grow one nice little healthy plant at once, in a short amount of time to harvest, and then repeat the process as I gain understanding.
I set up small area in the living room by a very big, very bright unobstructed SSE facing window. I am using the 2022 updated SF1000 LED in addition to the daylight, and will be attempting to grow in soil. My temps range between 77 and 66F, humidity from 66 to 44%. Using a humidifier to boost humidity, it's on two hours at a time, off two hours at a time, all day. The lows are when it's not running.
Using autoflower seeds from Herbies, starting with Bruce Banner which they recommended as a good beginner indoor strain. I already killed one seed by not reading anything before attempting to sprout it (I can list all the things I now know I did wrong if you'd like haha) Got a second seed to sprout but it's off to an odd start, only one cotyledon leaf has emerged and it's growing very very slowly:

It's very hard for some reason for my old-ass iphone 8 to get a good closeup shot, but it definitely seems to be growing, and it doesn't look like it's rotting or yellowing (yet?), it's been slowly doing this weird emerging for a week now (I put the sprout in peat pellet last Monday the 26th.)
I watered it lightly today with some hydrogen peroxide treated dechlorinated tap water (ph 6), after reading that it can hep with sprouts and seedlings in general and specifically with oxygenating the roots and preventing root rot. So we'll see where it is a few more days I guess. I started sprouting another seed in case this one doesn't make it.
I know my setup is minimal and under-engineered at best, honestly that's part of the challenge I am setting for myself in these first grows. Thirty years ago, freshman year in college, a buddy of mine grew a smokeable single cola with nothing but a fluorescent lamp from the hardware store, hidden inside a cardboard box under a heap of seemingly dirty laundry with a small desk fan for ventilation. He kept it hidden from the RA's for an entire semester and grew something worth smoking, I figure I can and should be able to reproduce at least that on my windowsill.
If you've made it thus far, thanks for reading, I'll be updating my progress or lack thereof here, on this attempted super-micro micro grow.....
