Endlich geschafft beim 3. Anlauf

I finally made it

On the third attempt, I planted three plants at different times. The first big Gorilla Cookie autoflower is now about two months old. Currently, nothing is happening—it isn’t growing and there are no other changes. What can you tell me about this? I would be grateful for any help. The middle Crystal Meth plant autoflower seems to be growing well, just like the very small Gorilla Cookie, but I’m worried about the big Gorilla Cookie. Or is it just normal that it hasn’t done anything or changed for two weeks? As I said, I would be very grateful for any help.

They look weak from a lack of light, what lights do you have?

Should I lower the LEDs further? And where can you see that they are lacking light?

What LEDs? They look lacking in vigor maybe, didn’t you say they haven’t been growing for 2 weeks? What LEDs do you have?

Vivosun 400w 18 stunden Licht und 6 Stunden Dunkelheit

Maybe it’s overwatering, now that I see it the plant has leaves clawing downwards indicative of this, quality LEDs at 25% and far away should already be just fine

I water with 1 liter of water whenever the soil is dry, pot test and finger test, watering is always done after about a week and a half.

If you stick your finger 2 cm in first, it could also be nitrogen excess if you’ve added any, it’s still very young, do you measure pH? Do you use mineral or organic?

She hasn’t received anything yet.

Hello @Dragon

What temperatures and relative humidity do you have with the little ones?

Maybe you defoliated them too much? At that young age, they still need their few leaves.
Possibly a shock from that and growth delay.

The light seems sufficient, if in the right position.
About 40cm should be enough there. At the mentioned 25-40% dimming.

Thank you very much. I didn’t think of that, with the stress from removing leaves. True, that takes a while. I will keep observing her. The clawed leaf is 3 weeks old and I’m leaving it on so as not to stress her even more.

No problem.

Just remember, every cut is an injury and, if in doubt, needs at least a week to recover until everything runs normally again. LST, ok. But the big fan leaves should be removed with caution at the beginning.

Especially with autoflowers, the energy from the first big leaves is important. Imagine they are photovoltaic panels, just natural. The larger at the beginning, the more energy can be sent down into root growth. Conversely, the plant needs energy from the root zone to heal the wounds. I think root growth even pauses briefly then.

Good luck.

Look here. Gorilla Glue automatic.

26 days old.

The large fan leaves take energy for downward growth and thus more energy for later upward growth.
The small shoots will eventually grow past them.

And today during the first gentle LST as well, I’m leaving everything on.

It then grows towards the light with everything it’s got, since the top is no longer the highest point.

Just always in moderation

Thank you very much for all these tips, I will continue doing it like this now and next time I’ll know how to start

Always happy to. That’s what we’re here for.
I’ve learned a lot in this community, which is still ongoing, and I’m happy to pass it on when I can.

The next grow is always a little better
