Auto Topping LED Grow

[glimmergrass]

I posted some close ups on the thread, pop in when you get time.
I'm going to be popping a Durban Poison to germ tomorrow. I have some photo harvests to do soon, and by the time they are ready I can move the autos into their place. THIS time I'm going to get some topping going! Your grow has been the perfect model.

Oooh, that sounds like a wonderful plan, Cannafan! What a beautiful strain she is, eh? beast is a great mentor -- so generous with his help and encouragement

Hi Yeatster,

These are pics of my 2 Jack Herrer autos. One was topped and one was not. They both made it to the same height but just by looking, I think I may do a bit better on the topped. Beast gets most of the credit. If not for this journal I would have believed the BS about not topping, or training.

Love the pics of your pair of jacks.
Looks like you got 4 nice colas for the price of one on the topped one. You might come out ahead there in the end. Or if nothing else you have a more even canopy for light penetration. Not sure if you do it for this reason, but I like using the block wall as a backdrop. Adds nice contrast and one can see exactly how tall your girls are just by counting blocks.

Schtiggy, admiral work my friend. My little grow box probably wouldn't be able to fit the monsters you & beast are producing but...it would be a great excuse to upscale if they did!

Thank you beast, for taking the time on a small time rookie. May you be rewarded with the grandest achievements mate!

Schtiggy , Yep the beast is spot on , topping creates more top bud sites .
Your 2 jacks are a prime example , look forward to seeing the results , topped against untopped .
Be safe .

[sonicDlf]

Sonic i keep all the medium moist at a young age.its easy to over water under led as the medium doesnt dry out as fast as maybe hps.but i keep an eye on the top.soil.if it becomes dry and brittle il give enough needed to moist the top soil.i go by the weight of the pot.hope this makes sense mate lol

Hemi welcome and thanks .and topping an auto because of me.fills me with joy exactly why i started this grow to get all auto gardners topping.proved to have worked.

Well since you talked me into it, I thought I should show you the results of that nasty topping on day 20. As a reference, a friend grew one of this strain in soil, under CFLs, and different nutes and it only grew a foot and produced a little over an ounce in 70 days. This one has been under 600 watts of LED, in hydro, and on AN nutes since it started and as of this morning is 11 inches tall and only 33 days old.

Hemi looking sweet mate good job pretty lady

Thanks. She is doing pretty good with a one gallon reservoir. Drank two liters in the last two days and just started the stretch. Grew 3 inches since yesterday. Once she stops, I will move her to the 100 qt cooler DWC and switch her to bloom nutrients. I have to check on my mini DWC twice a day, but it really saves on the nutrients with these small autos.
