antics hes saying they are auto seeds .

i wouldn't top or lst an auto .

For an Auto, I see no problems using LST.

As for topping, defoliation, etc.. I would leave those to more experienced growers that are growing autos.

I was wanting to know how much perlite with my top soil for a one gallon pot.

 

[yuyo]

i have seen all kinds of recipes
some add as much as 30%
i would just add a cup or so for 1 gallon


i know many people who put a layer of perlite on the bottom as well

Well I didn't get my light yet.1000bulbs.com said there computers were down so I will have it in a coupe more days but good news is I saved my short rider auto. Little small I think but its going crazy since I transplanted it. Here is a couple pics.

i would top her and tie her down . cause if u have 7 ft
u have to have 19 inches of clearance for the 15ow light not to mention the height u will lose from the pot . so say another 6 inches so now u are looking at about 5 foot. u could also use the scrog method .

look in my signiture for links that will help u navigate the site!

You CAN top an Auto, but to make life easier and minimize stress, I would just use LST, and bend the top down.

I'm starting to feel kind of stupid here guys but at what point should my short rider start to flower.I'm on day 27 and I got about 2 hairs showing in and that have been out for 2 days now but no change. Its growing like crazy.in 7 days it has went from about 2" to 10" and its very full.very bushy.I check it every day and it just keeps blowing my mind how fast its growing now. Anyone know why?

Here are some pics of the differents in 7 days.sorry. I don't think that are in order but I'm sure u will see the differents.
