Another pretty good week for the young one, flowers started to bloom! When you get close enough, like nose to bud, you can get an almost piney scent. I've been pruning leaves and continuing LST techniques to what I think are encouraging results. Most of the leaves I trim are in the middle to allow light to penetrate. Leaves on the outside I tuck under one another. Additionally I attempt to position the stems so that lights gets to the buds. I'm switching to flowering lights now that I see buds are beginning to form. Some nutrients aside from Cal-Mg will be added, but I don't want to over do it or end up with PH problems, so it's been just water and Cal-Mg.

Hello and welcome to GD, At first, your plant dont need a feeding for minimum 4-5 week, She sits in a 26.5 l pot- so she has enough soil around to feed her for weeks. . You can give her aloe, or a aloe based root stimulatior.In my previous photoperiod grow i use 20 l pots and the plants dont needed any fertiliser in the hole vegetation stage(10 weeks). watch your girl, and if she gets pale or limy around week4 or later you can add Growing fertiliser ( N)until she stops stretching. when she stopped stretching you can start with blooming fertiliser (P+K). But always use half of the recommend amount, and look how she responds............................................................................. Watering regime; I start with 100ml , pouring around the plant, so the roots have to search for the water and spread. 100 ml should last for 3-4 days or longer. if water is used earlier then double the amount, and wait for 3-4 days. and so on. You can control it by lifting the pot when soil is dry, or putting on a scale, and noticing the dry-weigh of pot and plant. So you avoid overwatering. If you are unsure, just wait another day. In water and feriliser its like LESS IS MORE. A plant can handle to have less water and no fertiliser for weeks, but overwatering and overfeeding makes her sick. Happy growing, feel free to ask per pm

I'm curious about LST techniques that will increase my yield. How and when should I begin?

so LST on autos is pretty straightforward actually : the autos grow so hard and so fast they "stiffen" up really quickly. People will say it's never too late to train a plant, but this is not true for autos, leave it too late and you'll hurt your yield ! You want to start asap, i saw someone start on week 2 lol, i did mine week 3, people that wait until week 4 and 5 hurt their yield (as have i in the past). So when you want to train your auto, always think of two things : "why ?" and "how? ". Why are you training the plant ? to increase yield. How do you increase yield ? 1 . by breaking apex dominance for example training the main cola lower. 2. promoting side branching by "creating and even canopy" and 3. promoting larger bigger colas through light penetration. so what you want to do is bend the plant so the side branches take off, bend it towards the light so more light hits it. It sounds silly but basically when the plant feels light on it's stems and stalks and where the leaves connect, it "feels" it's grown tall enough and grows out the side branches, which down the line if you can get it all even with the main, means bigger yields. basically that's the point, during veg, try keeping the fan leaves downwards, avoid shadows/shady areas, and bed the top to break apex dominance best you can. Hope this helps ! 🚀

My plants have started to flower. What steps can I take at this point to ensure the buds grow big and fat and that the harvest is as large as possible?

bigger pots for sure try 12 inch then temps need to stay betwen 18 & 28 whit 50 to 75 humidity watering every 3 day for most strain(some need more water) then try organic nutriment if possible follow instruction on bottle

well, there ate a few factors that enable you to have bieg yields. POTSIZE- Bigger pot, biggerRoots, more Flowers. LIGHT- even in floweringstage its worth to have enough light for the Flowering Plant, TIME- a good Flower takes its time(6-8 weeks), TEMPERATURES- between 22-28 degree, everything above or under it slows them. And as a last point NUTRIENTS...... but only in a good amount...............So here are the Listed Factores( most of them).... and you see your Route to go... happy flowering
