IMHO, topping is not a good idea with auto flowers, you had no time to recover after mistakes.
MonkeyGrower
MonkeyGrowercommented2 years ago
@solowkam, I did just LST. Tonight I calculate all heads which have reached scrog net - 17 =) quite good for a fast autoflower, so I still think that topping is for photoperiodic strains. Anyhow, glad to see that everything good with your girls ^_^ GL & HF

@MonkeyGrower, Thanx for comment. Have heard that also but have seen some successes. So far topping with LST is working well. Timing was spot on as plant recovered well with immediate growth spurt and no delay in flowering. Will see how it finishes. Happy growing 👊

Dear @solowkam I see that you are starting your second grow ahead with the bull sheat, once again! 😄 No offence, my bro I understand your desire to emplement the knowledge you earned from all those videos and articles, BUT, please, don't screw up the Gorilla! This is one of the best strains there is and I seee that this time the supliments are ONLY natural, which is good. Just to know, the worm castings are miraculous food, bou they are way too high in PH, plus that, every time the plant eats the PH goes UP again... So, you have to take care of the systematic aciding of your soil. You can use lemon juice if you dont have Sulfuric Acid (small cualtities are used from them and mixed with water) , even used grounds from the coffee filter (Must be used coffee) all of those put the PH DOWN where we want it to be (5,5-6,5 for the water you use - when it gets into the soil it goes a little higher). The micoryzha is a great choice, too! I wish you luck, and remember - less is more when feeding autos! 😇😉
the end.
