Mrs G is going to be a strong girl - but we all knew that from her nemesis. Now the real Mrs G gets to help in decided how kinky she's going to be - Shall we do heavy LST or Topping with PonyTailing and some LST? You have some time to decide. :circle-of-love:

She took that helmet and tossed it. I gave her a light misting which is what that water drip is.

2/4/17 - Dee - Day 17

Now that the seedlings are developing I turned on the second light to full spectrum and dropped it about 6 inches. Dee said - "All Right"....and pulled free of a couple of her restraints.

The first picture of her first thing this morning.

Got out the wire and pinned her back down. I'm in the process of turning the main lead abut 90 degrees and begin moving around the pot.

Briar Rose - Day 8

Never too young to start training. Briar got her first little restraint yesterday. I'm going to leave her to grow a bit today so no more training go at least a day.

I got sooo excited, I was just happy to watch the show. But now I get to help raise her, that is sooo much fun! We will be co-parenting...hahahahahaha Kinda like playing video game doubles.

K, been researching mrsG, autoDP, and I think she should go the same route as Dee.

I top around the 3rd/4th node, how about you?

Happy sunday autoflower school, our religion is GREEN

Heavy LST it will be. I'm really getting comfortable with LST. I was initially afraid I would break the stem and kill her but finding they girls are really resilient.

As or topping---- I have little experience with it on Autos. My last grow (my first) I had no idea what I was doing and just pinched the tops out with no regard to timing or where I cut. They were photos and I let them go 60 days before flipping. I think I topped them 3-4 times. They did well and produced about 3 1/2 ounces a plant.

This grow I have been doing a lot of reading and all suggest to top between 3rd and 4th node and before day 21. I think that was BignStrane's and Pennywise's recommendation. I'm planning on doing it as soon as I can get a clear view of the 3rd and 4th node.

One question I have from all my 420 friends is - When do you stop LST on an Auto and allow it to begin lateral growth?

Yes... Vertical Growth - thanks for correction.

Ok, personally i have room in the tent for bushy plants so i keep spreading them wide until they go into flower and the stretch will take care of vertical height. I end up doing some defol to clear out the bottom of the plant later on. It all comes down to what your space is like, and what structure you want to end up with.

I don't think I will have problems with vertical height unless they turn into monsters as I am in a 4 x 4 x 7 foot tent. If I run into space limitation I can fire up my 3x3 tent which is sitting empty next to this ten right now. I'll keep going with my LST until flower - sounds like fun. I've been doing some defoliation of the larger leaves as they are blocking the light from the new shoots.

BTW the shoots are really taking off and are starting to thicken up. I'm finding with an Auto you have to adjust the plant at least once a day - sometimes more. Great experiment.

Daiquiri Lime - Dee day 18

Dee is really growing well and was growing out of her restraints again.

I did some light defoliation to remove some leaves that are getting in the way. The side shoots are taking off and thickening up.

Thanks Mrs G - I had done some reading on LST and they say you can start them as young as 1-2 days. I figured if they can bend to the light they could handle gentle LST. I found that Romek wire really works well. Also saw a neat LST video on YouTube that became my tutorial. He is a very aggressive trainer and gave me the idea of defoliation. Also what I like is creating a long spike from Romex with a candy cane at the top that hooks onto the plant.

I haven't viewed all his videos but it looks like he may have topped his first then started LST

Well I'm committed to the trial and Dee seems to be responding to it well. Those two branches at the first node are almost as long as the original. Starting to see some nice branches starting along the branches.

Olga will be my first exercise in Topping. I've never topped an Auto before so have been reading a lot and keeping track of StupidFace's current grow
