Winging It In Winter By The Window: Soil Auto Grow

Your Caramel King looks a lot better. Nice job. LB looks good, too.

And, :happy-birthday: to your newest ones!
 
Hi Carmen! Wow I think both of them are looking much better! And your lst attempt is working really well. I'd say you're on the right track now good luck!
Thank you so much BK! I've actually removed several hooks and let go of some of the branches. I'm watching the budding with interest. It'll be a small harvest but I'm pleased that I was put through my paces and learnt a few things. I won't try to canopy my 2nd auto because of clumsy hands but I may try some lst.... still not sure and she is already showing pistils.

Thank you HG! The autos are still showing issues in their leaves but they are looking better for sure, and it is exciting to have a couple of babies in the mix again too.
Good job girlfriend:)

And your photography is just lovely :)
Thank you Tra! I'm so glad you like my pics... huge compliment coming from you, who has a journal that looks like Garden and Homes mag :)
 
Caramel King auto is now exactly 5 weeks old. She was showing pistils at week 3. She's 25 cm / 10 inches tall at the bend. I've removed 5 hooks and left 4 in place. I removed some of the leaves from underneath and a damaged fan or two that were blocking some of the bud sites. I am wondering if those bud sites in the centre will fill in, or if those will remain as larf?

Lavender Best auto is still showing some leaf issues. The lowers have deteriorated as you can see in the first pic, and if you look closely at the tips of the new growth, there is yellowing. She is showing pistils today at 3 weeks of age.

I am going away for the weekend, leaving Thursday, so my gals will be unsupervised for a couple of days. I'm sure I won't have to worry about anything while I am gone (said with thumbs held tightly)

Thank you for looking in. I appreciate the support while I grow.
 
Hey Carmen! So far I've limited my auto experiments to topping, which is working well. Most of mine lately have been too short to even try to train, they're going into flower 7-8" tall.
Mine too, and at 3 weeks both of them.
You bet! Everyone who tries it gets a crush on it!

Nice turnaround Carmen! She looks like a new plant!
Thanks so much Otter :)

They should- if she were a photo, they would definitely grow into healthy branches...but with autos, they may or may not, or some of them may grow, while others don't...
I'll say they probably will grow up and fill it in nicely, but there's a chance that they may not...about all you can do is wait and see...
She's looking real good, Carmen, as are the youngsters, and the LB looks good despite her issues...
 
That's the fun of this place in time! The wonder of it all! Good luck filling in!
So true Otter, the excitement is watching it unfold :) Thanks!
IMO since you spread her out those bud sites in the middle will now get lots of light and should develop nicely. I think Lavender will be fine, and the two babies look perfect! Hope you have a fun & relaxing weekend!
Thank you BK, and you have a great weekend too :)

Thank you Carcass... it's quite exciting to see her in flower now so we wait and see :)
 
Greetings. I arrived home to 4 happy plants and that made me happy. I hope you have had an excellent weekend too.

Sunday 12 June UPDATE

AUTOS

Caramel King
41 Days AG, 22 Days In Flower

CK looks happy enough and her flowers are looking good I feel. I’m happy that we seem to have turned a corner. Watering is a regular amount every 3 days.

Lavender Best 26 Days AG, 3 Days In Flower

LB has shot up in the 3 days I have been away. She now measures 35 cm / 13.5 inches. You will see that I have hooked her branches outwards, but I don’t know what to do with that top. Suggestions will be much appreciated please.

Both Bruce Banner 2
(top) and Wedding Cake (bottom) survived my absence and I think I timed the watering well (hold thumbs). They are both 6 days AG today.

Thank you for stopping by and taking an interest in my grow.
 
I don't think they missed you at all, Carmen :) ...they sure did well on their own for a few days!

I'd say just keep tying that main top down- here's one from 2014 that I did my first ever LST on- keep tying that main top down, and the branches will fill in the blanks as they grow.

Wow Carcass that is an awesome result you got there and amazing for a first effort. Thank you I followed your advice and it was easier than I thought it would be. She is more supple and bendy than the Caramel King was :)

Looks like you grew her in a kiddie pool! :)

Is that just a training aid on top with tons of soil underneath?

Good question! The blue part is the original 2 gallon pot- I figured more room for roots would be a good thing, so I cut the bottom off of the original pot-, and sat it in a 5 gallon bucket full of dirt...plain old "yard dirt", so it weighed about a ton...but it worked pretty well...
Unfortunately, that plant was the weakest pot I've ever grown (Kerala Krush) it got me about as high as a CBD plant, but it was (allegedly) a THC plant. :hmmmm:
