Thank you for having me as a AutoFlower.net member.
7 weeks into a indoor grow. All 3 plants are Lowryder2/Bluberry.
All 3 have different looks, and sizes. The littlest one I topped as a experiment since she was lagging way behind her sisters.
Had to do a flush since I got excited in flowering and drenched them in miracle grow. -Lesson learned.
All seems to be going well, but any advice from the experts always appreciated.
Thanks for helping, and having me.
Happy Growing!

Hi dude I'd say that's a mighty fine effort for your first grow. Just keep em happy with what you're doing for the next few weeks and I think consider some different fertiliser, one for veg growth and one for flower (I got from your post that you just went with miracle gro).
Another way to help your grow next time would be managing the canopy just a small amount, so that the bud sites are at more even heights. This can be done in many many ways, LST, supercropping, or even just using a trellis. You want an even height across the canopy so your bud sites develop evenly, you get fewer lower popcorn nugs etc.
But definitely don't worry about that yet cos for a first try you've done real good, the learning process is long and unending

Thank you so much for the kind words. I switched to Fox Farms blooming tiger. Miracle Grow is miracle NO when it comes to Autos. Your advice has resounded with me since I am looking at LST next round. The trellis is so simple, but that is a brilliant idea. Happy Growing

@NormlJim66 Welcome to AFN Your plants look great. It is indeed a learning adventure. I don't think I have done two grows in a row the same in over 5 years now. When growing from seed you never know what you will get. Even big name breeders have "phenos" show in their seed. I love to grow out runts and weird plants. The last one turned into 40+ grams of top notch hashish and not a single bud on the plant .

Be careful with multipart nutrient lines, there are usually two or three parts required as a minimum. It is best to use their feed chart and don't mix brands until you have many grows under your belt or you are a chemist with a lab. There are many schools of thought about nutrients. A plant only needs 17 macro and micro nutrients to grow. Yet this is only part of the story to absolutely thrive they benefit from several bio-stimulants. So If you have real Living Organic Soil all of these components have been working in synergy for a year or two and 5 gallons of this would be sufficient to grow one cannabis plant water only. Yes there are shortcut soils but they will not hold up to get across the finish line without supplementation. Then there are countless variations of methods that end with the Hydroponic methods as being opposite to the organic soil. All 17 elements and all of the bio-stimulants are provided directly to the plant. I grow organic outdoors in my vegetable garden. I have a bad back and cannot move 5 gallons of soil and remain vertical. So I went hydro where pumps do all of the heavy lifting.

Anyhow no matter which way you want to grow someone here is doing it and is willing to share their experience and knowledge with you.

Wealth of information that you shared. Thank you, and I will keep up the learning as I grow. Will post pics and problems as they arise. Thank you again for the info. Have a great weekend, and happy Growing.

Great dude all these small improvements go a long way early on. Like the Man says you'll always find a friendly someone here operating on the level you want to be at

Just my 2 cents. I was turned on to MegaCrop from members here and absolutely love it! Once it begins to flower I add Bud Explosion. Nice job bro
