New Grower First grow journal - 400W HPS - 5 autos

I have moved the light up, so it is now 60-70 cm above the plants. They are still not stretching too much, so the plants seem very bushy. All but the LSD-25 have been tied down.

Gave the plants a watering today. Between 500-600 ml each. Soil seemed dry. Added 4ml/l biobizz root juice, 1 ML/l grow and 1ml/l micro. The lad-25 only got root juice. Will start giving it bites next week. Some pics:

Time for a little update. Been out of town for some days and a the plants growth has exploded since I last saw them. Had to do a lot more tying down to get as much light to the leaves as possible.
Easy Ryders and Quick ones are now 19 days old while the LSD-25 is 12 days old. All plants but LSD-25 has started showing pistils.
Here are a shot of the whole lot:

The LST I am doing is inspired by this technique:

What I am hoping for is a lot of healthy high yelding buds instead of just one big main cola. Hope it is duable with the short auto strains that have been picked for this grow.

Just gave the easy ryders and quick ones a 600 'll watering each. I only added root juice. I do have a small fan blowing while lights are on. The 400w hps is only 45-50 cm above the plants and it does seem a bit too hot, so I'll try and move it further up. Every new set of nodes seem to have a very small distance in between. Might that be because of heat? Here is a closeup of the easy Ryder #1. Thanks a lot.

Leaf nodes close together means your too close to the light..
If you move the light up.. Your plant will "stretch" or grow toward the light..
Not sure about hps tho.. I use led

Thanks for the help. I raised the lights some days ago and it seems to have helped a lot.

Hey looking pretty good now it seems. The lst certainly can't hurt, it benefits some auto strains more than others. Since autos have a preset lifespan, it can be kinda impossible to make it as perfect as the example diagram like it would work for photoperiods, but it's still good effort that usually is worth it. The other lights and tent numbers look good, so you're off to a good start.

You'll learn much because you are sharing your log, and getting feedback. I like that LST graphic. Good luck on your grow.

I hope it will do good, I think it is starting to look better now but it certainly want look like the diagram!

Time for an update. So today I was able to move the set-up to the permanent location in a big closet. I gave the plants a big watering the other day, so I got some runoff. They still seem to have enough water for another couple of days. Pics of the plants in their new home:
