Day 15 - She's leading the tent.Topped her at 4th node.
Day 16 - She didn't stunt.She took the topping easily.Lower nodes are growing.I fed her with phed tap water and Root Juice.
Day 17 - I pruned the first set of leaves.They will not be getting enough light to produce buds.I removed the leaves day by day.
Day 19 - Switched to 400W MH lamp.
Day 20 - This girl literally didn't care if i topped her or not.She never stopped growing and still keeps growing like mad.Started doing some LST today.
Damm bro, with such small pots and topping autos im pretty supersized at your yield man! Well done 😎Just shows you autos can take some stress, guess it is strain dependent too. Looking forward to growing this strain myself. 💪
@SadBoyDabs710,I'm really surprised with the results my friend.I was also concerned about topping autos but as long as your plant is healthy,nothing can stop her.That's what i learned.I know the pots are small but i checked the roots and there is no rootbound.
@CBD_Sweden,This is gonna be my second grow and also first experience with autos.Hope it's gonna work out.I already read your diary.It's great to have someone who already grew your strain.I will keep an eye on your grow aswell.
If you want them like 20-30% amber you will have to wait like 2-3 weeks more. I harvested my plant after 9 weeks of flower and a total of 14 from sprout.
She is looking great and i hope you have the patience to wait for her to amber up.
You will get rewarded, its a lovely medicine and damn good smoke.
@Eurus, ok thanks for the response. I think mine are looking pretty good to have received no Nutes at all so far. My fox farm trio should arrive today and I will start them out at 1/4 strength.
@Nemobuds, Stunting the plant right before she starts flowering is not the risk i would take.I believe the reason behind topping at the 2nd week is even the plant slows the growth,she will have the time to recover.You can continue with LST and defoliation.This is an experiment for me aswell.I've 4 autos right now,2 topped and 2 growing naturally.For example,i topped 2 plants that were growing fast and healthy.CBD Crack still continues to grow without slowing but Candy Kush is a little stunt i think.
@Eurus, ok mine is about 19 days old now and has nodes coming out all over the place now. I figured it might be too late? and will it really benefit me to do this? or can I just seen low stress training my plant in such a way that the light still hits all leaves?
