topping/fim can be done when you have 3 true set of leaves so you will be removing what would be the new 4th set.

Node = spot where leaf/ branch is forming so if it says wait till 6th node that means the 6th leaf on top then if it says cut above the 2nd node that means cut the main stem above the 2nd set of leaves correct?

His pictures is why. they need nutes. and he is not using full strength. i'm sure he learned his lesson about using to high of nute dose. i use a tds meter so i know how much i have in the mix and can adjust accordingly. i suggest everyone has a meter.

Question:

why are yo guys telling him to keep feeding it? He already killed a few like this, and it's obvious that seedling needs help and not from nutes. IMHO no nutes should be given before third leaf set starts..

dont worry about the lower set of leaves and the round ones. you watch the new growth make sure that is green. see you plant wasnt getting nutes so it started eating the lower leaves once it starts it will continue till they are dead.

Well I gave it 1/8 of the recommended dose of the FFT nutes. Then I began to see new growth so I am going to assume she is happy. I'll be watering again tuesday with plain water. Then again friday with 1/4 strength.

Dco.. Some things I'm considering changing. . My temp (avg h/l of 75/68) and putting lights on 20/4 instead of 18.. Would I see a big improvement?

Came home and think I discovered which one was the auto.. looks like white hairs

First two and last one is my assumed auto. She is showing some leaf tips bent up I'll add another pic to show it..

Dco do you think I should crank my led to full power?..

Also I just read through this post and noticed some mistakes I've been making.

Here's the two main things:

I have them in 1 gallon pots and I've been feeding usually 1/4 gallon each gaining quite the run off.. I think I need to drop my amount of water down as I feel like I'm flushing and stunting their growth.

I have been mixing 1 tablespoon of molasses per gallon, not 1 teaspoon. (Don't know what this is gonna cause)

Just water until you get a little run of from the bottom. Some waterings will take more than others

first one is auto for sure. now do some lst and make a coat hanger hook as deep as you pot. then bend her over and hook her so she grows vertical and she will have allot more tops with 0 stress. she will become a beast. plants are looking good. nice job.

for a 1 gallon pot 1/2 cup runoff is good. a little less or more is okay. also go buy a cheap $5.00 fish air pump at walmart or somewhere. make sure it has an air stone and airhose take a bucket and insert airstone hooked up and let it oxygenate the water. then you use that water to mix with feed and your plants will love you even more.
