La Diva Grow... 1st time using autos...

Thanks dr greenhorn. When i first saw it my heart sank... then i cut off the damaged part and i thought to myself it looks like i had jus topped it. Lol. Im hoping it will be fine. Thanks again for confirming my thoughts. Makes me feel better about the situation....

So checked on the damaged plant this morning. It looks like its gonna make it. The remaining branches are already getting bigger from all the light its now receiving. I think it will be ok. The yield might be effected a bit but we will see. Soil looked a bit dry so i will be watering them today. I will be giving them 1/4 strength nutes.

So day 19 on this la diva grow. Did some LST this afternoon. Watered early this morning with 1/4 strength nutes. Kinda humid today 71%. Temp is 82 degrees. pH at 6.0 heres some pics.

I havent really been LSTing the one on the right. It was kinda the runt of the group. Still lagggin behind but looking healthy.

Heres the one that got damaged and got topped as a result. Looking like she will make a come back....

they look good tho,my auto is flowering big time outside

Thanks raiderman. Yea they are doing very well. Im interested to see how the "topped" one does as far as yield is concerned. The remaining branches are taking off tho.

hava alot of branches .

So day 20. Plants seem to have taken the increased nute strength very well. No signs of burn yet. They all look very healthy. Temps at 81 degrees with RH at 60%. Branches responded well to the lst i gave them yesterday. Ill try and get more pics up later today.

Any signs of pre-flowering yet 808?

I am at Day 30 from seed and La Musa is showing me new white hairs daily. I have about a dozen branches plus the main stem and she is about a foot tall and pretty bushy. I am pretty excited at her progress.

I've been following your tucking advice...popped another small fan leaf off today lol. Maybe I am being too rough with my girls? Anyway, she seems unaffected by my earlier trims and fan leaf tucking accidents. Her PPM is holding steady as is her PH levels, so I think I have found the right amount of Nutes for her.

Sup biglittlejohn... no preflowers yet. But since ive been lst'ing i can see a bunch of tops forming on each plant. Should start to see some soon tho. Got any pics from your la musa? My girls are bushy as hell tho. Im sure they are gonna take off on a growth spurt soon. Ill post some pics tonight.

So here are some pics. Still havent really lst'd the runt. Im thinking about letting it go and then do a comparrison at the end. Lst, topped and natural.

The runt is on the left. On the right is the best plant in my opinion. Responding perfectly to lst. It has four dominant tops clearly coming up. Cant wait to see this one take off.

These two are doing great as well however they are producing so many branches that its getting overly crowded near the center of the growth. Both have three nice tops that im bending almost daily to the side. The center of the growth has three to four smaller tops fighting for light and space. Its crazy... im doing my best to give them as much light as possible so that they grow long enough for me to bend...

This is the accidently topped plant. She is coming back strong. Two days from being traumatized and she looks great.

it looks crowded but theyll spread out.

Day 21 a few of the girls are starting to preflower. White hairs are popping up all over. Lst session yesterday seems to have benifited the two crowded plant. Their inner growth is starting to grow out nicer. Posting pics up tonight.

looking good brah. the one picture of the topped plant ain't showing up. wanna try and load that pic again?

Yea it was working last night but i just noticed it wasnt up now. Ill try and upload again.

Pic should be working now....

the topped plant looks good! I like the fact that you have one topped, a couple lst'd, and one growing regular. you can compare the end results with the different growing methods and see what works best for this particular auto.
