The New Autoflower Topping Thread

[Giorkos1]

FIMing sounds good as well for auto flowers, it creates even canopy with 4 new main stems according to what i have read in a few places.

If anyone has expirience with FIMing autoflowers, or even better expirience with WW auto from greenhouseseeds please speak up and help a fellow noob with the need to learn and grow top shelf weed

I did fim a cheese auto once only probkem I had was I did it way too late would have gotten 3 mains if it was done earlier. I my opinion topping/fimming forces the lateral branches to believe they are the tops resulting in larger overall yields. Topping should be done along with lst. Lst alone can also bring the desired effect without topping.

Day 1 after topping she isn't looking shabby at all,mind you this is the 1st time I've ever topped as I'm a beginner and its my second grow. Yes I made a mistake with the snip. I feel like a dummy still but things are moving alot well so far

You did it right Hondo, that fan being lost just ensures more light where its needed.

 

[TRA3GO]

Just more light for your stem that holds bud. Most of my bottom fan leaves just get in the way. You may have saved yourself some pain in the long run. Looking good

i hope so penny i don't want to fail again,i don't want history repeating itself

 

[Hondo23]

Thank you tra keeping my fingers crossed

 

[Pennywise]

Looking spot on so far

 

[Hondo23]

Only real issue concerning me at the moment honestly, is the ph. My runoff is sitting at 6.1,been using liquid testers gonna pick up a digital today i think. Im tired of not knowing specifics.

 

[Pennywise]

Your in soil?

 

[Hondo23]

yes sir

 

[Pennywise]

Yea get your pen and monitor ph runoff

 

[Hondo23]

i just ordered my digital ph reader a few minutes ago. Hopefully it will get me exactly in the range. Im just really confused as to why this is happening. Like i have dolomite and oyster shells for ph buffers yet im still having issues. Im tryin to uderstand the science behind having buffers and im not having any luck trying to figure it out.

Should be right around there if my weak eyes don't deceive me.

aye. that's right. Pretty much where I put the dotted line on your pic. Just get anywhere between there an the lower node. cm higher or lower doesn't matter really. That's the spot.

also very important like it was explained to me. Your performing surgery on your plant sterilize your clipers.
