I've been growing my auto for 36 days in front of the window, a few days ago a few of the fingertips of a couple of leaves started to reserve canoe. Pics 1 and 2.

She has since recovered it seems and i wonder if she is stretched because she is getting quite tall.(around 90cm)

Also i was wondering if in general you guys see anything i should be worried about, maybe you could point it out.
I Will keep this post updated

Kind regards!

Looks good but you should really think about LST on your next girl. I have 4 zkittles started right now but having a problem downloading pics from my phone for some reason. Give ti a shot.

They are stretchy and sparse due to lack of light. Adding a 150w hps or cheap LED panel over them 24 hours a day would really improve things for you.


Cutest little light I ever did see.
At the moment growing with lamps is not an option, do you think she will be allright without it? And yeah i'm about to swap to Bloom nutes after a few days of just water

Yeah its growing ok. My point is just that a small light (which wont require any special cooling) would probably triple your yield (if not more.)

You're not over watering are you?
Plant seemed to go from very happy..praying..reaching for light to drooping.
I watered her 2 days ago but the weather shifted right after. It's been a lot less sunny the past couple days. Maybe that's why she seems overwatered. I only water when dry and when the pot feels really light.

I did have a brainfart though and didn't let my tapwater sit for 12hours before I watered. Just forgot it. We have good tap water though but from now on everything will be filtered and dechlorinated.
I just hope i didn't upset her too much

If your tap water comes from your own personal well (in most every case) you shouldnt have to worry about dechlorinating your water as it wont be present in it and this is common practice amoungs people living with a community or city water management system who will most likely have to let the water sit out over night to allow the chlorine to evaporate out of the water

Okay so that should be fine then, i've posted some new pics in my comment above, do you know what's going on with her?

Looks good for real, healthy and green, i feel like you are just over worrying yourself and overthinking this thing... patience and observation and you will be okay, stay light on nutes and keep her in the window and dont over water her (watering will increase as she flowers but you will notoce feeling the pot to see if its dry and feeling the soil)

Yeah not watering her too early is something i need to work on, i flushed her today and next time i water i Will be adding Bloom nutrients.
It's my first good plant so i'm kinda stressed haha
If she works out and you are ever in Belgium, hit me up!! Thanks for the help, i'll keep this post updated
