Thanks for the memories, Perth. I got nothing going on now but had some astounding personal results with the simplest of setups. For me, one pinch after 5 or 6 nodes. Mid-veg, I got rid of any branches that were small and appeared they would stay that way, and trained the hell out of the nice cola branches. What node I prune at depends somewhat on the strain; indicas I'd prune early to get 3 or 4 good branches; bigger heartier sativas I'd prune a little later. And train like crazy. Kush strains worked very well. Good luck.

Thanks for dropping in bro. I agree with literally everything you said, especially about not pruning sativas to early. On my first grow my sativa ended up looking like a dead tree lol not one leaf for most of the grow
Happy Thurweed day Perth

Flash update
So a quick update for you guys All three girls are looking very short and healthy. I will put pics up tomorrow or Sunday. I attempted to FIM them all last night, even the auto 
So we will see how many tops arrive over the next week or so. It was the little bud of the fourth true set that got the clip if you get my meaning. The Midknight kush is just looking beautiful, I can't praise it enough. Perfect wee hash plant 
The only other thing worth mentioning is that my night temps have been as low as 5-6C or 40F and they seem fine, not that I can do anything anyway lol. Hopefully it will bring out some purple shades. Have a good weekend guys

I know mate but it just didn't seem fair on the other two going through stress and not the auto lol. And funk it rules are made to be broken right?
I guess we wouldn't learn new things if we didn't try
although some things have been tried before
there can be little things that could make things go either way tho so
I guess so it be like your kids then if one gets ice cream they all do lol
but people don't spank all their kids together just because
just a thought

I actually topped a NIRVANA short ryder previously with some pretty nice results. You ever tried it on an auto?

Okay, will do thanks man
nope out of the 3 60 dw autos ive grown I haven't topped or anything tried to lst the first one a bit but it was already
kinda big and the stem snapped on me so I taped it up and it healed and finished lol
all the ones ive done was 18/6 till it couldn't fit in the 18/6 area then to 12/12 so it has room
out of the 3 the second one was a disappointment at about 21 grams dried
the first gave me an oz dried and the third was 40 something grams
but 28- 40 ish grams per plant is what they say for that strain
none of mine looked like the pics of the ones they use to sell the seeds tho lol
the ones they used were all soil and were about a foot foot and a half tall
like small Christmas trees

3 weeks today - UPDATE
21 days from first seed emerging I attempted to FIM all the plants last week. Which if my understanding is correct failed and resulted in a pinching effect, because all plants now have six new tops each coming through but the tip did not split but repaired itself. I have extra wattage and some pipe cleaners on the way to start LST. I also started 1/4 nutes (baby bio original) on the auto which looks great. The other 2 girls in the 27 litre pot have not been watered in over a week and no nutes. Pics in the next few days
