Hello, training has begun. This plant has grown in a way that shows the training technique I use on most of my autoflowers really well so I wanted to share it with you.
I top them between the 5th and 6th nodes.
Completely remove the 1st node, the one that grows with single finger leaves
This leaves me with 4 nodes or 8 total branches to work with
Carefully push 4 of the branches sideways to get them out from under or over the other branches above/below them to give light to every branch, you should be able to see all 8 branches from above the plant like in my picture. Of course there's going to be leaves in the way but each branch should have enough space to grow up and join the canopy.
Then I pin or tie down the branches to spread them out and keep them as even as I can. Sometimes I have to supercrop a branch or two or maybe even top a second time to keep the canopy even as possible.... hopefully this makes sense and the picture helps illustrate it
I'm pretty happy with the growth this week after topping it last week there was no recovery time at all. Happy growing everyone
Thank you Fastbuds π
My tent's lung room is about 18%. It's a daily chore to get it running consistently at 60+%. I had to get 2 Humidifiers...and they run 24/7. I can't believe the growth she made this week. I'm jealous. I'm on week 3, DWC, and she's just now producing her pair of 5 blade fan leaves.
@gaNjahgrOW, I live in the desert so I'm in a constant battle with dry air so I feel you. Not now but most of the time I have seedlings in one tent and flowering plants in another one so it makes me crazy trying to get one high rh and the other one with low rh π thank you again for your visit π€π²π»
Exceptional job, I really like the in depth description, and the picture. Definitely gonna give this technique a go on my next run of autos. Honestly I like Captain Redbeard Seeds better. I have quite a large seed bank going. Probably 9 different suppliers, as well as close to 200 Seeds. See which one I grow best. STACKIN BUDZ AND GROWIN NUGZ HAPPY growing growmie
Thank you @GanjaJack, I really like the fastbuds genetics I've been getting good results from their seeds π I'm always game to try new things though π
The training is something I've been working out for some time and I like the way this has worked out, I do alot of manifolds and stuff on my photoperiod plants but I wanted something less likely to slow the grow on my autos... thanks again for visiting
@HappyWeeds, I try to do all my autos the same so I get used to the method that way I don't slow their growth... it doesn't always work but when it does they come out nice π thanks again for stopping by π»π
