Automatic Tomatoes

The level is ok, until the buds gett faatter ( around week 4... then you should be under 50 percent

Hmmmmm Yup I have this problem with photos that dont want to stop stretching cause they love thier feed so much (Fat wenches) anyway that is very impressive for an autoflower my friend I will say first of all. she is going to have one bountiful harvest thats for sure. Erm I would say try getting another net and splitting the tops up as much as you can if you check my SOG grow out that has 2 nets in and its really the only way you can control the height other than topping and bending and thats kinda out the question with autos if you can put your light higher that will help she is probably done stretching now :) Great strain name thought they were gunna actully be tomatoes lmao

Hello Again my friend your certainly a busy bee today with these grow questions. Now I know why your asking look at that forest but unfortunately autos react very differently to stress than photo plants they are much much more susceptible to stunting when stressed sometimes you can help defoliation like this kind of time but I would wait until late late flower say week 7 of flower then you will have the best shot at getting her to finish without any stunting or problems slowing her down. I would wait until you see the buds start to dense up and then that is probably the best time :) though I would never advise doing it as the other grower has stated she needs her fans for nutrients and not just that she is an old plant and has evolved over 1000s of years to produce her biggest and best flowers to attract male pollen and reproduce. Now if she would benefit from having her fans stripped she would of evolved to do so. Any healthy growth you remove will be taking energy away which she could be using to make your bud that much fatter :) Though its your plant and people do have good results doing it not saying you cant just my opinion wishing you all the best pal :)

You can check once or twice per day, but if they are all still clear you may still be a week or more out before majority of them are cloudy. It is also good to check different areas of the plant, and not just focus on one spot. This will give you a better idea of how far along the entire plant is. Once majority of trichomes are cloudy and more and more amber start to pop up, you will want to check more frequently until you decide to harvest. How many cloudy and amber trichomes there are before you chop it down is up to your own preference. Hope this helps, and good luck with the grow. Cheers!
