They grew like crazy this week and reached the trellis. Now, I have started stretching them outward. The auxillary branches beefed up on Purple Punch# 1&3 after being FIM'd and topped, respectively. These two were also the first to reach the trellis and have a wider footprint than Purple Punch #2 which was left untouched. Again, these are from seed so I don't expect a direct comparison between the techniques. But they don't see to be stunted at this point from the toppings.
I wouldnโt feed it distilled. Tap water left 24hrs will allow the chlorine to escape but leaves the iron, calcium etc, distilled water wonโt have any of that left or small trace amounts.
@Seedsman, So far the Northern Lights Auto has been my healthiest looking plant Iโve grown. It took to the SCRoG well too. Almost 3 weeks into flower and Couldnt be happier. Iโm stoked on whatโs to come. ๐๐

Wow, wk 2 and that big. Very nice
I wouldn't flming an auto. I've tried. There's not enough veg time. They only come out looking like a small version of a normal grow. Top it above the 4th to get good growth reaction.. and no, you can't compare any auto been topped. Your right. I've seen autos flip at 10cm.. never a topped one though..I went ahead this time, and hardly topped any of my autos, so boring. 10 colas all the or near the same size is always better than 1 short fat 1. As any woman they'll tell you that ๐คฃ.
Good luck on your test. Hope you get killer colas regardless.
And yeah, drop the distilled water. It only causes more trouble in the end pal.
Plants need a bit of chlorine and that. And it'll stop any risk of boron or any other trace element been short on.
Good luck.
such pretty colors, the purple punch looks like it was a pain in the ass to trim i always die a little on the inside when i cut of one of those little calyxtowers by mistake.
