Day 34 Progress:24 carrot Topped & LST'd Autoflower (6 Main Colas) – Canopy Management & Setup Breakdown

[Firsttimegrower]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a quick progress update on my current run and get some community feedback on her structure. We are currently at Day 34 from sprout, and the transitional stretch appears to be wrapping up beautifully as the node spacing sections out.

I decided to top this lady early on and have been aggressively staying on top of Low Stress Training (LST) using rubber-coated training wires and ground anchors to pull the outer branches away from the core. I just did a final round of training to completely hollow out the center, creating a balanced, 6-point square canopy footprint to maximize light penetration and airflow through the middle.

Setup & Environment Details:

Enclosure: Custom automated climate-controlled wardrobe utilizing digital timers, humidifiers, and targeted circulation fans.

Medium: Organic soil mix amended with perlite for optimal drainage.

Nutrients: Organic baseline using the Biobizz line (Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom, and Top-Max). Keeping doses highly measured and gentle (all inputs under 1ml/L concentration).

Additives: Just introduced a periodic micro-dose of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) to support chlorophyll production and terpene development as she transitions into heavy bloom.

Watering/pH: Baseline pH is monitored strictly and maintained consistently around 6.9 for optimal nutrient uptake in this organic soil environment.

Current Status:

The canopy is completely flat, and every single one of the 6 main colas is sitting at the exact same height with its own dedicated light pocket. No signs of nutrient burn, deficiencies, or stress-related clawing so far.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the overall structure and if there is anything else you would tweak with the canopy management as she prepares to transition into full bloom over the next week!

Thanks for looking!

Your plants look fine. Lower the light to 12 inches above the canopy.

Be careful about too much fertilizer in soil. The plant must use it or it will build up and become toxic.

“salt” based fertilizer

Th use of “salt” based fertilizer to grow Auto Flowering Cannabis. Salts: Natural and man made any chemical compound formed from the reaction of an acid with a base, with all or part of the hydrogen of the acid replaced by a metal or other cation. Learning how to use salt based fertilizer properly is being environmentally responsible. The first thing you need to learn is to get a ladder and put the Cal-Mag on the top shelf out of reach. Put the ladder away. I do not know how it got started bu…

Haha didn’t realise thankyou !!

Bio Biz nutrients are organic

They still need to provide the same needed minerals and hopefully bennies. You can over-fertilize with organic sources as well as salt based.

Ohh yes, I know. I’ve intentionally over fed organics to see at what point it’s too much. Turned a plant black and curly with LOTS of blood meal! But on the other had, I don’t often see people over doing it to the point of damage much. Abuse of Phosphorus is most common across both feeding regimens. “Bloom boosters” are among the worst things people use, especially seeing that they do NOTHING for bloom production in any way!
