If it's stressors then I can't imagine what it was that did it. I find it hard to imagine how self-watering from a perlite wick is going to stress the plant. Quite the opposite I would think. I can see how up-potting could be a stressor but my plants didn't faulter when upcanned. I've read so many growers saying autos are too temperamental and should not be trained, usually new growers. Then I read the responses from more experienced growers who practice topping and training and insist it is good practice for autos.
Have an awesome weekend LR. The weather couldn't be better today, certainly here. No wind but a slight breeze to take the intensity of the dry heat off the body and than you for your observations.
Which node do you generally snip off? Mine are both at 7 inches today, which is two weeks of age.
I've also read that so I don't want to be too alarmist about the pistils at this stage. The training has started, so that makes me feel encouragedFrom what I've read about pistils showing it's not uncommon at all on autos early on, mine did the same (although my results may still suck lol) and mine grew a LOT between showing the pistils and now. Crossing my fingers for you that everything will be sweet
Too late I took off node 5 on both and stripped the lowers already. I have heard quite a lot of conflicting stuff but I feel confident that what I have done is right. The branches on node three are picking up pace and I managed to hook all four node 3 branches down. I have a good feeling that I will do better with these two autos than my previous two.
Thanks Lexi. I am feeling more confident than yesterday. I think I've finally got my wicking plates wicking right. The plants have both grown a couple of cm overnight and they are stretching themselves up into the air. They are definitely growing and I'm not seeing a lot of pistils so holding thumbs that they will spread out for meI wish I could be of some help but i’m still on my first grown and they are photos, but early preflower or not, i’m rooting for your success. You’ve got this
Carmen I want to apologize for stating that your plant was in flower as it plainly is not. I should have said something to the effect of preflower stage
That is not a bad thing but yes it is earlier then what I personally prefer but have no choice over. I’ve had the best luck with the ones that start showing at 21 days.Looking good with those brilliant Carhooks complimented with the luxurious thick and gentle wire covers.
Yes that is what I've planned. I meant that I had hooked down branches at nodes three on two plants. They look good to go. I am hoping for a burst of growth
Thank you Nev! I shall be led by the "fickle finger of fate"Carmen I want to apologize for stating that your plant was in flower as it plainly is not. I should have said something to the effect of preflower stage

Shes going to be a beauty. Your going at this perfectly no fears!
and some damn good tips and hacks from the 420 community!
The thing about autos is they will flower on their own timetable, stressed or not (though often earlier when stressed). Boo has grown monster POTM autos as well as smaller ones that produce a few ounces, so there is variation even among folks who do it well.
Woot woot! Nice training with those CarHooks®.
Thank you GDB, What they have done in two days has made me hear celestial flutes. They are such beautiful plants and they have taken to swicking from birth like dagga plants to water
They look perfect.Monday 9th Jan Update
