Pretty easy week, been doing a lot of training with the girls. I'm shooting for 12-16 heads on each plant. Should set the scene for a nice level canopy.
All of the ladies have been topped for the second time, some have been topped for the third and final time. Once all have been topped for the third time I will stop trimming etc
to induce flowering. We are going into the 5th week, I still have at least 6,7 maybe 8 weeks of flower. Topping does halt autos from flowering, from my understanding Autoflowering is based on the hormones the plants produce if it's still producing new growth you can hold it in Vege, once you let the growth mature it will flower.
The plant I had with the Cal-Mag issue is back and looking much better. She's turning green finally, it took a while but I'm glad to report shes back.
I have my light nearly at full intensity now, the plans are responding really well. EC is at 1.3 and PH is ranging between 6.3-5.8.
@Fast_Buds, thank you for the follow. I recently emailed you guys some of my images from my other grow you guys requested from my insta account. I hope you enjoy them.
I'm sry but this is not main-lining. You topped your plants and now you lst them. What you are doing is way to much stress for automatics. Proof me wrong but i garantee you not more than 2 g. Automatics have a to short lifespan. Good luck
@@ShotGunBob, hey there. This technique is a manifold which I choose to use 4 branches instead of the classic 2. This does not cause any plant stress, that my friend is an urban myth. My last run which you can see here: https://www.instagram.com/danksquared_/ . This grow was in one of my 2x4 tents which was loaded with big healthy plants that blossomed some very very nice flowers. Check it out, the proof is in the pudding as they say.
I only kept two branches instead of the 4 here. Mainlining and manifolding are basically the same thing, lst is simply another term for training or tying down a branch. Which has been used by gardeners for 100s of years.
Automatics do have a short lifespan if you let them grow from seed to finish, however if you employ Mainling techniques you can hold that auto flower in veg for as long as you want. As you can see by the link i posted, I held the Blackberry and Bloodyskunk in veg for 7.5 weeks, which is nearly the usual lifespan of letting a Auto grow from start to finish.
Do check out my Insta, there are some beautiful photos of Auto's being given low lifespans.
