Bruce Banner - fastbuds

End of week 3 ladies and gentlemen 😀 At this week on day 15, I topped the plant ✌️🏽🌱 When growing autoflowers, for me timing is EVERYTHING. These very few weeks of veg are maybe the most important days in the plant's life, if I want to achieve good results with auto plants, If I want to get a wide and bushy plant that will yield plenty, I wanna make sure the vegging period will be as good as possible, And so, how I top, and the time I top my plant is crucial when it comes to auto-flower plants. Day 15 was the day for this Bruce banner when I saw the 5th node coming out, and as soon as I saw it, i topped it very gently. That way of topping - very minor and gentle topping - is to reduce unnecessary stress for the auto plant, and growth continues vigorously and uninterrupted! topping an auto too late, or taking too much of the plant, and you might ruined the good growth rate, might even stunt the plant, and it might grow too small and won't reach it's full potential 🤷🏽 I also DO NOT touch any other growth underneath the 5th node, that's for a few reasons: 1 - from the same reason I do such a gentle topping - in order not to delay the plant growth, by needing some time to recover, or even stunting the plant. I will however do some lollipopping and cleaning only AFTER the end of streach period (around 3 weeks into flower) except some leaves here and there. The second reason is I don't touch the lower branc is because I LST them to get a nice and branchy plant of course 😎 P.s - in some cases it might be beneficial to remove a few big fan leaves that really shadowing important growth. Where every day of veg is important when it comes to autoflowers, in order to get that big wide bushy plant I want - I'm topping only healthy plant with a healthy growth rate, at a very young age, but still old enough to endure it without a problem. That is why I found that once the plant gets to its 5th or 6th nodes of branches (days 14 to 18 usually for me), the plant is strong enough to NOT get stressed from the topping, and by removing such little growth (ONLY the 5th node when it JUST arrived) I'm getting another 12 -15 days of healthy growth before the plant automatically switched into flower 😎✌️🏽 A day after the topping I can already see a healthy growth rate from the plant, I give it a few days to stretch up a little, before starting LST the plant to get that wide, bushy and spread out plant that will fill up the tent as much as possible 💪🏽 That's how I do it anyway 😅😎 Until the next week ppl✌️🏽🌱
