23 Day Old Autos; How are we lookin?

Hey everyone,

I posted here a while back, so I figured that I would provide updates. I planted these girls a little over 3 weeks ago. In this time, I got a RO system. I have been feeding them pH 6.4~ water, with 6 stage'd RO water. I raised my Mars Hydro TWS 2000 up to ~80% on the dimmer, and raised it a tad after seeing temps spike. This has been about 3 days since then, and holy cow!

I plan on starting FF big trio nutes when they hit their 4 week mark, and start with 1/4 the dose. I'm in FF Happy Frog soil.

Yes, I know one is droopy. I fed her just before I took the picture. She was like that this morning, so I knew she needed some water. Temp is about 78~ F, humidity hovering around 60-65%. I also got a second MH TWS2000 which I need to mount.

I was planning on doing some LST like tying the main stem to the side of the pot. I've also got SCROG nets that came in the mail as well.

What should I expect in the coming weeks?

Any thoughts, ideas, reccommendations, tips, or tricks are appreciated!

What strain are you running? As far as what to expect, I'd say pre flowers soon if they're not there already and a stretch that will depend on the genetics. Be ready to raise the light as they start flowering to keep the light levels from going too high. I'd also expect that they're going to want more food in the next couple weeks. Hope they do great for you.

I got Bruce Banner, Gorilla Glue, and Girlscout Cookies from ILGM. I have definitely noticed a little bit heavier dank scent coming off them recently so I'm sure you're right about the pre-flowers. They're doing great so far, thank you for the advice!! Would you also wait 5 more days to start tying down for LST?

I do HST by super cropping my plants. When I did use LST I'd do it as the canopy got uneven to break the apical dominance of the main colas and keep adjusting them until the flower stretch was done. Then I'd just let them go as far as training other than leaf tucking and a small defoliation. I just like the way super cropping works in my grow better, nothing wrong with tying them down.

Even with autos you super crop? I heard with my small amount of research that people generally don't Supercrop autos because they don't have time to fully repair in their small grow window.
