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.
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
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?
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.
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.
