The Jack Herer plant is a super example of a modern auto. I want to ask how many times did you top it? That is a lot of branching. I have grown a handful of autos and have only topped one time for each plant and right at the 4th node.

Hi! I had never grown an auto before this JHA grow. I’m super pleased with the turn out so far. I topped after the third, expecting 4 strong branches. She started slow and skinny, but has filled up and is now happily growing along (nothing like Van’s, but ok nonetheless
). Will have to try more autos in between grows for sure. Cheers.

Hey Hacker, thanks for stopping in. I am definitely impressed with the Stankberry as well....its had such vigorous growth from the beginning. I only hope the smoke will be as nice.
That Jack Herer Auto is my first attempt at autos.....lol....I might have to retire from them after that one too. Might be difficult to match it! I am digging her!

Thanks Sam....I don't know what I am doing right with her other than leaving her alone for the most part. I can assure you that I have less than an hour total invested in her other than watering. She was such a funky grower early on, I just kind of set her in the back of the tent and let her grow.
She didn't get much training at all Flash. It might look like it but I did one bout of ponytail training with her. I topped her once and shortly after she was topped, I started spreading her out. Today and one other time were the only times I adjusted or added any of my pipe cleaners to spread her open wide.

Maybe 18" from the top of the soil to the highest point. Most are probably in the 12-15 inch area. She is short and wide but slowly starting to stretch a little.
Very nice Mr. Stank......

I topped once.....probably around the 5th maybe 6th node, but I think it was the 5th. I topped on day 22 from her breaking soil....so about 30 days ago.
Interesting watching the auto JH. This auto strain development is amazing. I am impressed with how far they have gotten with it. I am guessing but i am thinking without topping and spreading it out it might have been a perfect little christmas tree. Arjan's seems to all about presentation and smoke quality.

Here is a little bit of a timeline and a recap of my training for anyone interested in what I did.
She was dropped directly into soil, no paper towel and she went directly into her 8 gallon pot on Feb 12th. She popped above soil on Feb 15th.
Here she is at day 12
Here she is at day 16
Here she is at day 20, still no training yet.
I topped her on Day 22 and let her grow for a few days before starting the bondage. Here she is 4 days after I topped her on Day 26. This is when the explosion started and she hasn't stopped. All I did was use some alligator clips and pipe cleaners to stretch her out.
Here she is on Day 30. Lots of growth over those 4 days.
All I did from here on out was to adjust the pipe cleaners a couple times and added a few pipe cleaners to new branches on two different occasions. Aside from that, it was only plucking 3-4 leaves a day and watering when she was thirsty.

Ended the night by taking three clones of the Blue Dream. Figure I need two, take one extra just in case!
With that, I am going to sign off and watch some teli with Ms Stank and try to figure out what I want to smoke tonight. Can't wait to have more night time selections....is this Northern Lights done yet?

That Northern Lights to me is definitely night time smoke. It's couch lock and then bed but i am also a bit of a light weight. I hope yours is the same. Great strain for nausea as well.

Where can I find the pink stuff? I tried to look at it on the net but didn't know what to write in the Google search
Just go to the craft department at Wal-Mart. They sell it there for sure because that's where I purchased mine. However, I am not sure of color options. I bought white. They are basically extra long pipe cleaners.
Thanks! Where I leave there is no Wal-Mart but I may be able to find it now thanks to the words "long pipe cleaners"
Edit : found it! Thanks again

Northern Lights Veg Day 32
She is living up to my hype that she is going to be a Monster. She is ready to be up-potted, which will happen tomorrow. She is really starting to drink real heavy. Once she recovers from her transplant, her training will pick right back up.

She’s gonna be a beast in flower!
Yup. She will yield for you Van. I hope you like yours like i like mine.
Great structure Van. Training will still be a breeze after the transplant!

Damn that looks good... I grew NL a long time ago, outdoors , and that looks so much better at day 32... Good Shit... 
Always good to see a NL. Can produce some really thick, fat colas. Might be a place for it in your projects.....imo NL blends well with just about everything.
