Happy House - First Autoflower Medical Grow - Indoor

Those plants are really really tall and healthy! Nicely done. They stop stretching when ever they're ready because they're autos unless the light is too far which I don't think it is. They would have loved LST! Try tucking the fans that are blocking the bud sites rather than defoliating. The plant can use all the green it can get to create sugars for bud development.

What are the light/dark hours on the clones? You can run them 20/4 just like the autos.

Hahahahahahahaha! Yea they are frosting up for sure! And one little touch and your fingers smell a ton! I am now running around my house saying smell my finger and the boys all do! Usually they run for the hills since that usually means something bad! .

They are on 18/6 but now that they are in hubby's office and we have to manually turn off the lights because they aren't on a timer, they were in the light a little extra yesterday, prob closer to 20 hrs. Hubby will turn back on the light once their 6 hours are up. I tuck as much as I can for sure! 4 plants is really all that tent can handle. I didn't realize they would get as big as they did. Good thing all 6!of the plants didn't germinate or I would be in a complete mess! What a problem to have right? I think I have a better idea of LST now and hope to do better with the next grows! .
 
I could stare at that all day maybe take some string and tie down a bit so you can open her up more ?

If you got the room and coverage ?
 
Ok clone update. Now that they are in their own space, humidity is up to 40% and we are increasing it with a humidifier and temps are between 70 and 75 degrees.

First up is Candy. I think I topped all of them if I did it correctly.

And for the technical stuff:

Lighting is 8 Daylight balanced 5500k CFLs 34 Watts each consumption but 75 watts each equivalent. So a total of 600 watts equivalent. We have a second set of these that we can use as well but wasn't sure it wouldn't be too much.

True hillbilly at heart here! .
 
Candy is already a bush!

If you need to veg them until the autos are done you will need to think about what shape you want them to have when you flip them. With that in mind and only 6' in height, you may want to prune them to be wide. Which is to say top upward growth in the middle and train the outside branches out.

Gotcha - so cut them shorter and pull branches out. I was wondering what to do with them. Since you are the king of LST I will work on that tonight . ...

I don't think you need to pull anything yet, but I would prune with the "flip-shape" in mind. Get the plant to send out new shoots in the direction you want...self-training :).
 
Activity tonight - the clones' roots were showing out the bottom of their pots so we transplanted them to 3 gallon fabric pots.

I'm going to let them adjust to their new space and then top them. I'm happy they are doing well! ...

I also got a new toy today. An active eye mobile phone microscope.

Will take some tric pics in a little bit to test it out. .
