Northern Lights x Diesel Auto #AutoScrOG

The ladies bounced back from defoliation nicely, with the front three plants having an insane stretch burst... The two plants in back that have stayed nice and squat and compact have some amazingly dense colas and seem to be developing/maturing much faster than the front 3. I tried to get ahold of Crop King to get some info on these seeds and their grows but they've discontinued this cross for whatever reason and weren't able to find any information for me. No idea what stage of cross-breeding they're at to know if the differences are genetic or environmental... Oh well. 😐 Was really hoping to be able to leave some flowers on long enough to herm, and possibly seed... But all of the info I've been reading on techniques like Rodelization would require me to have a slightly younger female to pollenate with the 'hermed" pollen from the "'nanas" that would hopefully be sprouting on past-harvest flowers... Would've been a nice notch on the belt to pull some S1 seeds off of my first Auto grow.... Can't have your cake and eat it too, I guess. Well, photoperiods all the way next grow and after, but this grow has been the perfect opportunity to catch up on some of the basics and learn as much as I can at a semi-decent pace with a good amount of hands-on experimentation. I heard "Don't train autos" and short of Topping, FIMing, or Mainlining, I tried out a sizable amount of Low Stress Training and eventually some High Stress Training with a bit of supercropping, lollipopping, defoliations, ScrOG'ing, and these ladies responded beautifully. And I lied I did top one in almost the middle by accident and ended up with 4 main branches and 2 of the smaller ones at the bottom of the stalk that only produced a few popcorn buds and were clipped during initial defoliation/lollipopping. Pulled one of the smaller buds off from the bottom of the canopy to check on the trichomes under this $20 USB "Microscope" from Amazon and it didn't do half-bad. Lol More of a Macro Lense but works for these purposes. Only a few more weeks 'til the chop. 💪
