farmerjims 1st auto run - the 10oz auto!

Hey all! This run has been super fun. I love it so far. Is it the #diyrdwc? Is it bc I'm growing autos for the first time? Is it because my previous (and only) grow had only 1 plant? Who knows, but it's wonderful... My 1 regret for the week was SKIPPING CANNACON Boston. So disappointed... but Portland is right around the corner so we'll have to make that one a 2day event! It's Day 56... let's actually fill in some details about what I've been messing with... Well, it's been mostly low stress training until the stretch. There's a reason they warn about Lemon OG Haze's stretch! I also started with various degrees of defoliation as follows: 1. Heavy defoliation - since the beginning; Aggressively topped (more than the rest). 2. Light defoliation - if at all prior to day 50; Topped early on to assist with LST 3. Light defoliation - since the beginning; Topped early on to assist with LST 4. Light defoliation - mostly due to slow initial growth; Topped early on to assist with LST 5. Light to moderate defoliation - mostly due to slow initial growth then perking back up after moving dead center; Topped early on to assist with LST 1 is certainly the furthest along in flowering. Maybe because of the defol or the additional topping? 2 is the beast of the family. This sucker bushed up, out, and practically swallowed #4 whole. It's flowers don't seem to be as far along as 1. I decided to give a pretty good haircut today to thin out and get some light to those bud sites. 3 is a bit taller than the rest - noticed it was stretching for the light pretty decently given the coverage in the tent. Running into some real estate battles with 1 and 5. 4 is hanging in there. Dwarfed by 2 and shaded some from the direct cmh light given 5's center placement. 5 recovered well. Pretty straggly in the first pic but holding its own in the last... Any thoughts are welcome. I wanted to give a decent variation on stressing and defoliating autos to see what the impacts would be. Do you think I increased yields on any? Decreased? Stunted? We'll know soon enough... although this tent may eat into the Dark Harvest timeframe a bit but I'll figure it out.
