Hey there folks. I'm growing for the first time and wading through the various YouTube channels for advice and this one I can't answer: I originally went and tried to top at the 2nd node and ended up fimming, actually fimming my fimming (all a mistake I promise). Today I decided to go ahead and clean that up and do some moderate pruning of some of the early growth to accelerate the growth and spread the plant out a bit. So with that being said (and putting the plant through hell probably) I ended up topping the bad original top and noticed that some drooping has begun to occur and I'm curious to know if this is normal or if I'm just stressing the plant out too much?
I've included photos day by day (with some obvious exceptions) to get ya'll's opinion on how the plant is doing and what I should change.
Some key items to note:
1) Started growing in standard potter mix for the first week or so of germination and sprouting.
2) Used Miracle Grow Performance Organic for the first portion until transplant on the 5th of July.
3) Using tap water testing with pH of ~6.2 for entire grow so far.
4) On the 5th I swapped out for a hydroponic coco mix and began using FoxFarms Grow Big 6-4-4 running at half the recommended dose/gal. I saturated to media and let drain.
5) Drooping began immediately after transplant but perked back up 24hr later (July 6th).
6) Plant was perked up earlier today prior to topping and trim.
7) The plant appears to be an autoflower (I treated it as photo early on) and smells like tangie on the leaves.
Light cycle: 18/6.
9) 1000w LED running full spectrum at maximum power ~30" from canopy.
10) Running ~120cu*ft/min of air through a 3x2x6 with adequate airflow at canopy level and throughout by use of fans on low/medium settings. No direct flow on leaves.
Thanks!
Note: Attached photos BEGIN at 07/07/2020 and show a 24hr change. I apologize for not having the drooping photos, they ended up corrupted for whatever reason. I can assure you it wasn't good though, looked like this: HERE
