My wifes rescue plant

I did and when I watered it washed out from around them. They started thickening up and have an oscillating fan blowing across them. Should I still mound up dirt even if they're getting stronger and thicker stems?

Ah ...well as long as you have a little air blowing on them they should stiffen up.

Is it time to go ahead and top the maui? And i started the LST on the Maui and bigger Auto!!

Update on original "wife rescued" plant!! She exploded, my LST was successful and I officially have 9 new tops!!

Update on 2 autos!! Also have taken off after LST, the one that had the stretching has finally started to catch up! Still a little smaller but not to bad, planning to use the yield from it for edibles anyways.

Looking good...soon as the new branches grow longer, you'll be busy keeping em tied down.

Final update!! Last but most certainly not least, the Maui uaui!! I fimed her instead of regular topping and not gonna lie, didn't like it so will be sticking with regular LST and topping.

So don't water the whole pot?? Everything I have read says to water until sligjt run off, but I do it by weight. I give 3 Lbs of water every 2 days. They are in 3 gallon smart pots. They are usually pretty dry by then, if still wet i wait until 3 days. I also rotate light feed, plain water, plain water, regular feed, plain water, plain water, light feed and so on! Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Water to run off. Saturate pots now they are bigger, should be 4-5 days in soil between water/feedings.

Ok man with out trying to be a smart ass are you watering the plant or the pot that plant does not need that much water as always thank you for your time

Thats barely even .25 of a gallon that doesn't even give run off at that small of an amount lol.

Thats what i thought too, but im watering less water so I get a smaller run off but just watering more often, it seems to be working fine?

Sorry no disrespect ment I'm old school as always thank you for your time

A gallon of water weighs 8 Lbs maybe you thought that was a lot of water?

No disrespect taken, would like to learn. Thats why I'm asking. You said to water until run off but said that a quarter gallon every 2 days is to much. Is that to much?

3g will take at least a gal to saturate to good runoff.

I like the 2 days watering just thinking it is to much when you do how cold is it when you water

And if I was you I would listen to lime his skills are on point as always

which is fine to underwater younger plants, when they are smaller, but once they start growing, then its time for full saturation of pots, it doesn't hurt them.
