Subbed and all read up looks like you're well on your way

Hi, Spart! I've been visiting over at your grow too! Tillie and I welcome you to our tiny grow! Checked out your grows...The Cream Caramel sounds awesome. I recently was able to sample some bud called Space Cream, so delicious, so high, so never-to-be-found-again in seed nor weed form! Bet the Cream Caramel is similar in quality! You will definitely have to let me know!

Good stuff! I discovered fluxing too late into my grow but I did LST them early so in a way I kind of half did because it was some pretty hard LST. We are both close to the same point in our journals so I am joining in and watching the rest of this!

 

[MetalPoet]

freidog, welcome!

 

[MetalPoet]

Hi, Asesino! Lst looks great, huh? I'm still trying to get the secondary limbs to grow so I can pin them down.Tillie needs to be tidy!

 

[KRrack]

The stretch is comin! Mine streched a fucking full foot in one week, FYI. Not sure if yours will of course, just a heads up, it can be ridiculous!

 

[Pat999]

Heeey Metalpoet!! She is looking really nice, training on it is very good and you kept it nice and low.

 

[MetalPoet]

Hey, KRack! I'm ready! If it would stretch and turn to bud overnight, I would NOT be disappointed! Right now it's a mass of leaves!

Hey Pat, Tillie has so much foliage right now ; I'm struggling to do any training. Trying to be patient

Day 43 Taming the Greenery.
Quick update, mostly pics of the one and only Tillie L'Flux.
Here she is with bedhead.

Keep in mind she's fluxed low, not much height.

I know defoliating=stress and I should not do it much on an auto but....

pulled these 8 fan leaves from secondary growth nodes on the "lower" parts of the stem because, well, they were impeding light and growth.

And here she is. Ummm. How to word this... Growth cones off the stems in 2 directions, right, so when a stem is horizontal, one set of new growth comes from the sides of the stem and that's fine, but every other node now goes straight up and straight down. Should I remove those up/ down shoots? Just the down? just leave it be and deal with it?
Thsnks,all. Have a great day!

The lady is is looking good! Mine are also kept very low the branches are trained on a very horizontal plane. I also had the same challenge with some new branches that were headed up and down. I simply let them do their thing. The branches headed down very quickly turned 180 degrees and started up as well. This is allowing me the maximum number of branches and also it fills the holes for excellent light utilization.

Keep it growing!

See ur pushing autos to there limits'good job.and wise words from dirt.wait until after stretch before u hit with bloom nutes on an auto.best of luck il be watching

 

[xave420]

hey metalpoet ur plant is looking very well . I guess u got rid of the gnats. I was starting to have the same issue with my nl auto . I am a little ahead of yours on the timeline. I guess our nl autos start flowering late cuz of the topping I did as well here is mine at 55 days.
yours should start showing hairs soon

I think I may be having a bit of a calmag def at the moment.

metalpoet,
I'm all caught up , and subbed. I've never grew autos, so very interested in time they take, and dry weight. I'm also going to school on your lsting technique . Does this work with clones??

Hey, xave, just read you journal... Kind of jealous of your awesome setup!
Actually, every time I think I have the gnats licked, one or two show up! The trick is just letting them dry out, I think. But, of course, we all want to feed nutes and make the big and strong which makes it hard to wait for dry soil. Your NL looks good and bushy!

Hi, Puffer, welcome to the home of Tillie L'Flux!
I'm new to growing weed, but it seems to me that all the training slows autos down a bit. I'm ok with it so far. As for clones, well, I think cutting and regrowing is probably already pretty stressful on a plant so I would worry that more training might induce runtism or worse--hermie! But we'll see if one of the better growers can answer that very good question.

I do hst and lst on clones all the time. The OW in my photo journal is a clone and she's been trained up until the 3rd or 4th week of bloom. As far as fluxing a clone, I feel it would be very difficult to attempt because of the alternating nodes.
