Nice training on the BBK! And keep an eye on the trichomes on the tall auto. Some plants never stop pushing out white pistils but they're still ripening away.

Will do Shed!
Doesn't look like she'll be too much longer. I like her. She has the whole underdog thing going on. The tall Auto looks delicious!
Lol, I’m glad you all like her, she makes me feel sad!(using MrK 's expression) I am 420% with Prof on this one
Maybe it’s hard to tell in photos, but she’s so dinky - definitely an underdog if there ever was one. I’ll be lucky to get an 1/8th off her!- Thread starter

Update (cont) - 4 autos - day 13
The 4 auto babies got a dose of diamond black today. I’ve never used it before, but I have a whole bottle of it, so it’s time. Anyone familiar with it? From the GO box (General Organics). Moving on, the Jack Herer looks like it’s growing out of whatever weirdness she started with. New growth is looking nice and normal.

They look great! I had a plant with those variegated early leaves but it must have grown out of it because I now can't even remember which plant it was .

Update Blackberry Kush #2 - day 27
She’s plugging along after her topping. She definitely slowed for a few days, but she looks like she’s finally starting to grow in the middle again.
And last but not least - Mystery Auto LST
Also day 27
I am almost nervous to post this one because I have no clue what I’m doing. This isn’t even an accurate photo anymore because I fiddled with it in the tent some more. It’s essentially the same, but with the middle tie removed and the top is pulled down even further, but the stem is still above the rest. I’ll see how she looks tomorrow and adjust as needed.
Whew! These girls had me runnin today! I’ll be happy when I can harvest the tall and short autos. Less work and more room in the tent - and most importantly more buds! I’m almost out of the Mango Kush from my last grow!
That’s all for today! Happy gardening everyone!

Love the color of everything and the LST looks great! Keep the end of the main stem low and if that's your final home for it, start to train it around the pot or you will run out of places to tie it down as it gets longer.
BK2 looks like it's picking up steam again.

Right now the LST is in a 1 gallon. I think a 3 gallon is an overkill, so I ordered some 2 gallon fab pots. They’ll be here Sunday, so that will be day 29. Do you think it would be okay to up pot her that day?
Thanks Professor! I’ll let her grow out for another couple weeks and then it’ll be flippy, flippy time! Queen BBK and her tiny princess BBK.Looking good HH. Blackberry Kush 2 looks perfect
Nope, the Super Bowl is on... Shed will have a better answer for you
I'm not seeing pistils so I think it will be fine. Ideally autos go into their final pots from birth but that is based on knowing what your seeds really are!

Haha, why do I keep forgetting?! Oh yeah, cuz F Tom Brady! #cheater #iliketohateonhim (go Hawks)
Ok, I’ll have to wait until after the game, but that should be fine. I’m a toker, not much of a drinker, so I should be able to handle it alright.
Crap! So there are some pistils already, first spotted on Monday; will it still be okay, or is it better to leave her in a 1 gallon? Double crap, I knew there was a chance for autos, I should’ve planted them in a bigger pot, just in case. Triple crap, my 4 baby autos were not planted in their forever homes either...
Aww man, looks like I’m a really terrible assistant!A true assistant, calculates everything
I might have to fire me..
He likes flat balls, no biggie.
I did an experiment last year on Blue Treacle Auto 1 where I up-canned it with first pistils and the roots grew into the new soil, so I think you'll be okay. Use the inverse sand castle method for the least stress.
great video... thanks for sharing!

Ok, thank you Shed, I will. Side note, if you put two of the small sized pots together, (like doming a clone), I found that it’s a lot easier to put the dirt into the new bigger pot without all the extra dirt falling inside.
Oh, nice idea! 
I can absolutely vouch for this. Inspired by Sheds success I transplanted the auto pounder I harvested recently after pistils were well established. Hell, I didn’t even use the inverse sand castle method properly, I tried (and I’ve been doing it for a few seasons now) but it was going g into one of our raised garden beds and they’re not that deep, and my 1 gal pot was tall...
Aaaanyway... it handled it fine. Inverse sandcastle, liberal applications of mycorrhizae powder during transplant and you may well find that it doesn’t skip a beat
And that video shows it well - but I like your posts on the method better, Shed. Less ‘fluff’, and you know that mycorrhizae is a friendly fungi, not a beneficial bacteria
(unless he just made a mistake, but you’d edit it if you knew I think. He is simply mistaken).Please explain with pictures
I’m just not seeing it, and I want to.

I’d be happy to! So if I’m transplanting from a solo cup to a 3 gallon fabric pot, using the reverse sandcastle. I just put two solo cups top-to-top and hold them together with one hand. Then pour dirt into the 3 gallon around my two-cup “mold”.I can absolutely vouch for this.

All it does is prevent the dirt from falling inside the solo cup, but I think it makes it faster and less messy. Plus I’m using CoCo these days, so I only have so much prepared.
I hope that helps!

I let my cup fill up as I’m adding dirt then once I remove it and place the plant inside the opening I use the soil built up in the cup or pot to cover the top. Both work !
