Finally a real new update, as the replant caught up with the first try. I added all info about the second try in the former weeks, in case you're interested.
π€
2nd try
π€
Last week was uneventful with normal growth
This week it will be time to begin with the mainlining, following the recommendations for autoflowers from Cocoforcannabis.com:
Step one: Discarding the growth tips on the lower 2 nodes, keeping the leaves intact. βοΈ (Day 20)
Step two: Letting her grow to the 6th node and topping her above the third. I plan to keep the top in my herb garden for the time being. βοΈ (Day 22)
Step three: Employing some LST.
Step four: Letting the remaining two branches grow to their 4th node. Removing the growth tips of the second nodes on the branches.
Step five: Topping them again.
Let's see how far we come before flowering begins.

1st try

The older plant recovered well, but did not grow much in her confined space.

@SlowpokeFuegobud, thank you! It's
Mikromachine Auto
Purple Dream Auto
Zkit Kandy Dream Auto
Speedy Boom Auto.
My husband choose the purple strain, and I might add a diary about it, too.
@kohlrabi, I'm always happy to help :) I've just started my own small grow, although not quite as small as yours. The new diary should be up later today.
If you allow us, we would like to offer you a support tip from the Kannabia team to help your girls get more light. Try to place the pots with the taller plants at the ends of the tent and the smaller ones in the center. We hope this helps, but if you need anything else, we are here to support you. Good luck! ππ

Kannabia, thank you very much, I really appreciate the support, but it's a 50 x 50 tent... π It is simply too small. I was hoping to get a bigger grow room until the mid of this grow, but things happened and I'm not able to afford that atm
@kohlrabi,yes If its an Automatic...Pop a new one.....thats the fun with Fotoperiod....If you mess Up. Just let iT grow out....i think its no big damage...shes fine
@Mrs_Larimar, thank you! Maybe I repot this one and try a new seed... Because I feel I am not doing this strain justice if I am leaving it to grow like that... Not sure yet.
Good luck with this grow! I've not heard of manifolding so am going to have to go do some research! :-D I try to learn something new every day and so this will be good!!
AH! It's just another name for mainlining... OK then! I think it's a pretty stressful technique to use on an autoflower as they don't like stress - but as you say, if it only results in the stunting of the plant, that will seem to be ok for you.... I just hope you get a harvest - I'm rooting for you!!
@kohlrabi, just so you're aware, mainlining/manifolding is never recommended for autoflowers... it's such an extremely stressful technique that autoflowers do not have enough time to recover from it in time to set their flowers... but good luck anyway!
@GrowingGrannie, thank you very much! π I think it's nearly the same as mainlining, with minimal differences. I saw some examples here with solo cups that looked neat and wanted to give it a try.
We are sorry to hear that you have run out of space to complete the crop satisfactorily. We hope that next time you will be able to have the space you deserve.
Thank you for choosing our genetics!

@kohlrabi, Just sell one of your kids. You can always make a new one.
At the very least, have your oldest work. The Asparagus picking season is almost here. Just tell 'em "Get out there and pick. Mama gotta grow some dank!"
@Z4Z0Z, π thank you! The picture I uploaded here of the first try is 4 weeks old so that one can compare. But the original one developed quite well and already got some flowers :)
