>>1738298>We need more OC and updatesplants are 5 weeks old, all autoflowering. Made some big mistakes but 3 of 4 are looking healthy. The sickly one (back right, can hardly see) is looking bad. It's tall but extremely thin and weak, and the leaves are discolored light green. I sometimes have a fan going inside the tent because I heard it encourages the plants to grow strong stems, but if I turn it on even on the lowest setting the weak plant goes horizontal.
I think my mistakes are making them take a lot longer. The sickly plant is the only one showing signs of flowering (first grow, so I'm not sure). They're all meant to be 8-13 weeks total (seed to harvest), and it's expected for most autoflowering plants to start flowering within 3 weeks(?). I'm impatient to have at least one of these done - the only reason I haven't killed the sick plant is I'm hoping it actually produces something, even if only a gram.
>toppingI topped all of the healthy plants a couple days ago because they suddenly started exploding into big bushes.
Overall I've had a lot of fun. And I'm relieved there hasn't been any problems with pests. I've dealt with spider mites in the past and got the impression online that it's was almost 100% likely they'd be an issue growing indoors, but everything is going fine and I don't even take any precautions like changing clothes before I touch the plants.
