Critical Purple (Auto)

@skeeter, Oh, and in each grow, I have had one of the two plants that isn't as tall. I think for that plant I LSTd too early, so it was low riding where I didn't need it to be as I have the height in the 6" tent. So, still learning to read the plant in relation to the technique!

@skeeter, Yeah, I am still feeling this out. So, I planted a couple of sprouts closer to the edge of the grow bag and started to bend the plant around the 5th or 6th node, when the root system is more established. I used twist ties and connected them to paperclips that I anchored through the material of the grow bags. Then when I started to LST-bend them (around 45+ degrees), I removed the lowest leaves closest to the soil. All the lower shoots started to rise and I started to have coverage over the whole pot. It is helping me control the space better, as I typically have 2 plants in each 3x3 tent. That helps me avoid crowding and mold, etc. Trying a manifold with one of my current autos to see how intrusive it is on the ACDC Auto. I think the LST bending technique is a great way to develop more bud sites early on, though the canopy will still need more LST to keep it more level as they shoot up in early flower. All great fun and still learning about how much manipulation can help build a canopy that works well with the light and the nutes over time. Happy growing!

@Growin_it, Always messing with different techniques it keeps it interesting 👍

@Ch33cH, Cheers! I have learned a few things for the next grow: change up the nutes, use a stronger light for the bloom, and I am going to try Kyle Kushman's chiropractic technique after defoliating if it makes sense. Still taking the time to celebrate the win, though.💚

Cheers! @DoDrugs420, It has kept well and I still have about a half ounce, which will be vaped. Great flavor, still!

@@CloneKingz, Thanks CK. Pulled over 5oz from this little guy. So, I al pretty stoked even though I didn't get that many dense buds. Just got a bubble hash kit. So, 'bout to give this extraction a shot for the first time.
