DickJones Looking strong. Watering 3 times a day by hand at the moment. Will likely add drip ring setup next week.

DickJones Had an issue with nutrient lockout so that hurt growth. Flushed her out good. Looking better.

DickJones Very thick mainstem makes it about impossible to bend so I topped her leaving 8 main branches. Some selective leaf removal to try and get good light to all branches. Staked down the bottom 4 to try and create more space. Compared to my AK's she is short and thick.

DickJones This thing just looks like a salad. She is short with short branches showing her Indica nature. Doing the best I can with branch staking to bush her out.

DickJones This dwarf salad is looking strong but sure is slow to go to flower. Really short thick branches. Flattened the branches as much as I felt I safely could, removed some leaves to improve lighting and and circulation. Have been fertigating this little brickhouse 3 times a day. Runoff was around 1100ppm.

DickJones Tied the branches down as low as I could. Removed some leaves getting no light or blocking flower sites. Starting to think I'm going to have to switch this to 12 hours because it looks like it's not going to flower. Run off was around 900ppm.

DickJones Since this little lady is refusing to behave as an autoflower, I moved her to another tent with a 12 hour cycle. Tied down the branches some more and removed some new growth sites and leaves. I am a bit surprised that feeding it bloom nutrients for 3 weeks while it was still in veg did not result in any signs of nitrogen deficiency. I switched it back to veg nutrients since it's in the transition stage.

DickJones Removed some leaves here and there. Doing the best I can with trying to flatten the main branches. Broke a branch during LST. Painters tape and piece of wood to the rescue! Fortunately it was only a partial break so it should heal fine.

DickJones 2 Weeks under 12 hours. Starting to see some signs she is becoming a woman. Pruned some side branches off the main branches. This has been a difficult plant to train but I think it's turned out alright. If I go this route again I think I will top it after 3 pairs of branches. There is not enough space with 8 main branches.

Good you determined early that this is a photo. I figured out very late at 11 weeks that my auto wasn't. I had to move her to the tomato tent.

@Natrona, yeah I had that happen on my first grow. I laugh about it now but at the time I was 'Aghh what do I do with this?'. I probably should have threw this under 12 on week 7.

@DickJones, This was my first mislabeled seed. Idk if all seeds in the pack or just the one I selected.
