I gave the bottom of the plant a good clear out of all the small buds etc to allow all the energy to go into the top buds. Also backed off the Dutch pro explode a little as the tangerine dream and royal creamatic are showing too much neutrient burn.
@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.
