Hello started this grow on 6/30 with multiple problems but ended up fixing them to keep these alive. It is now week 3 almost 4 from stigmas/pistils showing up
Against my better judgment I should've started with 1 but I did 3 bc I was like fk it y not.
Personally I think I'm doing well but I want opinions from others just to see if I'm doing anything wrong or wtv.
Last 3 pics the plant started flowering like a week or 2 ago

Looks ok but i would cut down on the Nitrogen, they claw already and dark green. And how do you water? potsize?
I have been I think is that just watering or cutting all nitrogen from or half recommended dose?
Rainfall watering can around the whole pot
5gal

They look a bit droopy which could be from too much water…..it’s important to allow the roots to breathe and move about in search of water.
How often are u watering ??

Water less and back off the N a bit as well


Well if your sure you ain't over watering do they have enough drainage holes?

Look kinda lanky. Have you taken any ppfd readings? Might want to turn up your light some or lower it closer to the plant. I agree with lowering your N they barely need any after week 3/4 of flower.

Your doing great!!!
just keep learning and keep trying

So do I just decrease the dosage on that?
Lights turned all the way up on 100% that's the growth spurt they hit or wtv in the beginning I'll find out today light was at about 11-12 inches
I dont have a ppfd reading but within 12 in it has like 1000
They also weren't topped

In pics 1 and 3 it looks like fairly wide spacing between branches. You can't change that post strech.

During veg you dont need a lot of light so you dont need to make realy any heat you can keep your light source fairly close to the tops of the plants to keep them from reaching for it.

Plants that grow naturaly lanky tend to learn better with an early topping. As soon as right after the 3rd set of true leaf.

There is a "photon" free app that works well enough if you have a decent phone.

What genetics are you running? What kind of light?

Ok I get ya now next time if growing them particular autos again bigger pots from the start then lesson learned I'd say the only time I go a bit smaller personally is if I'm using airpots otherwise I like a big one if I'm using traditional style pots

Also wdym by traditional like u talking about the wooden ones I be seeing on Youtube?
