if youre going off of hairs you should harvest when about half are red but if you have a way to look at the triches like a magnifying glass look to see almost all milky and some amber
if your plant is already growing at a weird angle like that you should just lst it for even better results after it has enough growth but in the meantime just let it do its thing
its ok even though it did start flowering cause autoflowers you cant clone anyway so cloning it would have just wasted your time
im sorry for your loss
reddwhitebluegreen all of what was said is definitely correct just a few additional notes if you want to get more light to your plants and cant lower your lights just raise your plants up to your lights
a lot of people use them and from the results they sound like they work the exact same way. they let oxygen in through the walls allowing the roots to easily get oxygen and they stop roots from getting root bound
yes the size of the planter does effect the size of the plant if the plant has no where for the roots to go it wont be able to grow any taller as for the foliage question i dont know why that happens and the time fame can be the same if you choose it to be but hydro does grow faster and larger...
in case you forgot ...as you seem to have this is my original question...i clearly know that 24/0, 22/2, 20/4, 18/6, 16/8 all work and that is not my question im just simply asking for what the positives are of using the 12/5.5/1/5.5 cycle especially since as it seems many people use it... and...
thats simply because all you are arguing is that 24/0 works...DUH. NO SHIT ...everybody knows that works already and nobody here has a question if it does. what this thread is simply asking is how well does 12/5.5/1/5.5 work and if it works better or equally to 24/0 or 18/6
but remember you dont want to top it too much cause then youll just be splitting up the hormones all over and instead of a couple of big main colas youll just have a bunch of smaller main colas
if the fim fails you can actually just top it from the same spot you tried to fim it and it would be fine or you could always try to reFIM the same one
when you top the main stalk is supposed to just stop growth and instead of sending all the hormones straight up they go to the top then to the closest stalks to make the closest stalks the new main stalks
