Well, I read that you're supposed to leave the LST til a bit later with autos but... I wish I did it a bit early, tbh. The stem has really thickened up and I didn't even scruntch it :D Usually, I'd bruise the insides of the main stems so it pumps a load of growth into it - but this has not been necessary. Simply bending it with some soft wire has done the trick. I've increased the pressure a little and I noticed that the bigger leaves are starting to cause some sweating where they meet... The level of transpiration is becoming noticeable, so I've upped the water a touch - I wonder how the roots are looking down there..? As such, I purchased a little fan for these guys (the autos are in with one CBD and one HG1) as, since I moved them under the TS-1000, they have started to really go for it. The little fan was less than 10 off Amazon, and it arrived broken.... Cheap Chinese crap, again. I glued it back together and it works OK off the mains, but it makes a noise and I don't want this when I am trying to be quiet, and I've also had this woman in my ear that I feel bad to tell to fuck off... She wants to be my gf but - you know... I don't want a gf... I grow these plants, and I like painting a lot and play video games in the evenings and basically have a full life in my own little world with martial art and my research, etc... but I do want to get laid... She's like, oh yeah I don't want to date, I just want you for "friends with benefits", she calls it - but dude... it is not. It is basically the same as having a gf but you have to also put up with how bad her dating life is every time you speak... Anyway - I noticed that there's some flowering starting on the 5th and 6th node today, as I was spreading out some leaves that I have read that I shouldn't cut off. So I'll put this as "flowering", even though I'm not happy and I want to re-veg..! She's nowhere near big enough..!!! But wow that was quick. Now I have experienced this for myself with autos - I will do things differently next time (I have a good selection of seeds from RQS coming for the summer - all autos). I am very glad I heeded the advice to not top this plant, as it would be so small - although I think I could get away with it if I use the TS-1000 and TS-600 from the start together, maybe, and good temperatures. At least with this White Widow S1 Auto variant. So - she's all tied down and in a nice, lazy S and I hope there will be a few colas, as the growth is nice and green and vibrant and pushing its way through the fans. It's very satisfying to see this :D The nettles outside are also growing the same - they are irrepressible! The LST, I - for some reason - put the plants in the middle of the pot... Idk why I did this... They ought to be in a corner. But no worries. It's going from the centre to the corner, and I plant to keep it going around the outside of the pot in a spiral, if it can make it, before stretch. Pinning down the branch leaves is a bit premature, but they are really obstructing the new growth - I wish I could cut them off, but I've read that I shouldn't do this. Another week and I'll re-evaluate the training, but atm it is fine to be low 'n' slow, baby..! :D

Hey guys - this little girl is clinging onto her shell. I've wet it a few times, and it has been 24hrs - it's not moving. She brought it out the soil with her, and is developing nicely otherwise. Should I remove it early (like now) or wait to see if the she pushes it off?

Always wait for it to fall off. It is way to easy to damage the seed leaves since they can stick to the inside of the shell and tear when you remove it. I will usually take a syringe and put a drop of water over the shell to keep it soft and so the inner membrane does not dry out and stick. Eventually they should break free. I had a similar but worse issue with this grow. See germination/week1 growdiaries.com/diaries/126912-grow-journal-by-chow-13/week/673135

Have any of you guys ever taken cuttings/clones from autos? This is my first time with ruderalis cross, and I am reading that I shouldn't even top the plants as they will likely start to flower as they reach 5-8 nodes. Will the plant be super stunted after a clip..?

Doesn't work, its that auto flowering gene that prevents it from being successful. By the time roots form, the plant will be wanting to flower, not continue veg growth, making cuttings/clones pointless. In my experience, autos do best if left intact and when not topped.

I was wondering... This White Widow auto is bred from Critical x Ruderalis to have Critical Auto ~ 35-50% Ruderalis. Crit. Auto is bred again to WW S1 Auto (~20-25% Ruderalis). If bred again, you think enough Ruderalis (~10%) for it to still be classed as automatic? Thanks! :D

Es geht nicht um den prozentualen Anteil in der Genetik. Es gibt auch reine Ruderalis- Pflanzen die photoperiodisch aktiviert werden müssen. Du musst bei Deinen Kreuzungen, wenn Du denn Automatics züchten möchtest, eben auf diese Eigenschaften hin selektieren. Also bei den Nachkommen bestimmen welche unabhängig vom Lichtzyklus blühen und diese Eigenschaft stabilisieren. Es gibt stabile Automatics die weniger als 2% Ruderalisgenetik enthalten... Viel Glück!

Auto experts! I have been keeping this one very low & it is producing many shoots with pistils. I'd like to remove some fan leaves, but Idk if this is a good idea, since it is flowering after only a month..! Do you think it would be ok to do this for more light..? Thanks! :D

1st try tucking the leaves behind to expose more flower sites. I wouldn't really defoliate her until she really kicks into gear and explodes in growth.

I grow the exact same strain as you but am a few weeks further along. I have done some slight defoliation without any problems. That being said, I don't think you need to worry about that yet as your girl is still rather small. Leaf tucking should be all you need at this point.

@The_Saccade, Good luck with your grow and harvest. I'm VERY happy how my White Widows come along :)

@love_2_grow, Thanks for the help! I appreciate it! You know... the plant would probably be about 30cm + tall if I didn't keep tying it down :P It's so bent up like a pretzel right now, which has seemed to help it shoot out a lot more of the side branches compared to a regular White Widow. It is a small little thing, but I'm hoping that after it starts to develop true buds that it will shoot out a little :) I'm going to hold off on taking away any more leaves for a few weeks! Thanks again! :D

Hey there... Hashy was right - you really don't want to do much defoliation at this stage... The one thing I'd recommend is pulling up your lights so they're about 24" away - this will encourage the plant to stretch. Super job so far!!

@GrowingGrannie, Thanks for the tip, Grannie! :D I think the light is about 20" (? 50cm?) away from the plants at the moment... I've a little problem in that I accidentally hanged it a little skewed, so one of the ratchet ties is a little shorter than the other. If I lower it - it falls in a diagonal pattern... but I think the coverage is still good! What I've done, following your advice, is to move the plant to the outside rather than directly under it - also the same for the other auto :D Hopefully this will have a similar effect in encouraging it to pull out a bit more toward the light :D I'll have to stop tying everything down - but these autos are wanting to grow so much every day!!! At least an inch is added to the shoots every time I go to check on them! :D
