<span class="link_user">@907stephen</span>, You&#039;re welcome. We all learn by failure/mistakes. You&#039;re still going to have some quality buds, for sure :muscle:

<span class="link_user">@Stick</span>, thank you, I feel like I have made a ton of mistakes on my first go around. I tend to learn by making mistakes. I kept this one simple and next time, I will make little tweaks and hopefully get a better outcome next time. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

<span class="link_user">@Stick</span>, if they actually take the 9 to 11 weeks to finish like they say, that’s in just a few weeks. The yellow leaves have mostly fallen off. There is quite a bit of new growth. The buds are getting fatter everyday. I just thought it was odd how one day a few bottom leaves were yellow and then the whole plant turned yellow. It’s mainly one strain, the other doesn’t seem to be effected in any way. I tend to be proactive versus reactive. I just let them grow and didn’t do anything to them besides add some molasses. Since it’s my first I just wanted to keep it simple. Maybe next I’ll try photos since I hear they are much easier.

Hi <span class="link_user">@907stephen</span>! With autoflowering strains it&#039;s better not to feed unless the plant needs it. They will quickly recover from a slight deficiency if you react fast, but they won&#039;t recover fast (maybe not recover at all) from a nutrients abuse and a soil toxicity. That being said, I&#039;ve been giving a few nutrients to my last autos and most of them did enjoy it. Don&#039;t forget it&#039;s also strain related. So the best thing if you want to add nutrients it to go step by step and start with a very low dosage. Keep us up-to-date and happy growing :facepunch:

Hi <span class="link_user">@907stephen</span>! Final yield is related to : plant&#039;s structure, number of bud sites, and the size/weight of the colas. In order to maximize buds sites and get a beautiful structure with big colas, you&#039;ll need to do some slight LST so the light will cover every part of the plant. From what I see in your diary, your baby is too young / too short to work on LST now. However, there&#039;s something you can do to renforce it&#039;s &quot;bushy&quot; aspect : ponytail her! Ponytailing is basically bringing the top leaves together and wrapping them with a rope/wire/clothespin. Doing this a few hours everyday will allow bottom stems to develop better/faster, and in the end you&#039;ll get a really bushy baby with almost all of the branches at the same height (flat canopy). I&#039;ve been doing this recently on my &#039;blackberry&#039; diary, take a look at the first weeks this might help you understand this process. Also be warned, many growers do confound LST and bending/trellising : when you work with LST, you need to bend the stems progressively, a few inches a day, and never exceed a 45° angle with an autoflowering strain, otherwise you&#039;ll stunt her and slow down her growth. Hope this helps, I&#039;ll be around, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! :facepunch:
