I’ve been a bit behind with the updates but I’m back on track now. It’s the end of week 3 today and the photos I’ve taken just now. So this plants growing well so far. Side branches are keeping themselves up there with the top of the canopy. I attempt to tuck the large fan leaves under these as best as possible during these next few weeks to help the side branches get as much light as possible and grow up with the plants canopy
@FireKing, I like doing LST. It gives me something to do for the 3+ months I'm growing these plants, but your Royal Creamatics are proof that LST is a bad idea with this strain. I don't know about other strains, but I think I'll keep my hands off autos when I grow them.
Your plants look amazing! I'm looking forward to seeing them with full buds on those branches.
@Quexos,You done a pretty neat LST job on yours though. Apart from defoliating and topping one plant in the past I haven’t played around too much yet but I want to try and LST a plant one day. Although I don’t think it works so well on autos so I’d do it with a photoperiod lady
Nice secondary growth this week! I noticed the same thing on my grow. The main stalk will have numerous secondary stalks.
Your light looks like the same one that I use.
@FireKing, This is my 3rd grow with these lights, and I'm thoroughly pleased. I bought my lights from Amazon. I'd bet there are multiple companies making basically the same lights.
@Quexos,
I’m only using the cheap generic leds off eBay right now until I upgrade. They work and I’m intrigued to see what a difference the high end leds would actually make
Good luck! My Royal Creamatic grow is in the drying tent right now. She was a breeze to grow.
We had a heat wave for about a month. She took it like a champ. I saw no signs of stress.
Man, you are going to love the smoke from this strain!
I love the smell and high. I'm kinda hording it because my harvest wasn't that large. I don't see you having that problem!
You've made me want to grow this strain again. I have it slated with my next grow. This time I will let it grow more naturally. Hopefully I will see similar results to you this time.
Beautiful tent shots! Those girls are doing great!
There aren't a ton of journals for this strain. I ended up with a little over an ounce for my plant, but I think your weight per plant will be much higher because you let them grow naturally. I have one more seed that I will pop after I finish this grow. I'm going to let it go like you are doing.
I really like the structure of this strain. Those secondary branches really take off and challenge the top bud.
The more growers I see who are letting this strain grow naturally, the more I think LST was a bad Idea for this auto. Live and learn I guess.
