Just because all the cool kids were doing it. This is my second Grow diary and even more nervous this time. When consulting with other experienced Micro Growers, they said you just let it grow. Now that concept is foreign to me now. My leetle tent is 2X2 with 200w COB. My first harvest was Bloody Skunk. I have a Northern Lights Auto by Victory near to harvest. This joker is a monster. I needed to start another grow like I needed to eat another box of Girl Scout cookies. This grow is 2L plastic bottle. On series of 6/2 for daily 18/6. As space is a premium will only Defol. Killing me. Did you know that you can top, lollypop, LST, HST, and FIM Autos and get gigantic yields? Believe and trust.

Only one photo. My tent is seized by a Northern Lights in her last days of light. As you saw last week, this little baby was struggling to discard her helmet. She is happy now.

Can't do it. Can't have a plant not groomed. This Micro grow is already working my nerves. Knocked over the plant for a few hours. Resettled the dirt and this foolish girl grew a new set of nodes by dinner time. Lighting is the key. Such thick under brush, my Chick just jumped in my hand. I know I delay my plants because of excessive Defol but the response is worth an extra week(or month). My last two plants, the stalks were too thick to cut without a little saw. Buds tighter than Dan's hatband. Lighting is the key.

Coming right along for a 2 liter PLASTIC BOTTLE. This is killing me. I think I need to start with Step One. We admitted we were powerless over the desire for plant manipulation and that our thoughts had become unmanageable. So you just let it grow. The devil is a lie.

I have benchmarked with others that grew this strain. I may be delayed by a week. Wonder why( being facetious). Trimmed to expose the potential bud sites. Stay the course.

I knew flowering was imminent and here we are. I am reminded the plant grows on it's time not ours. Probably won't win the contest but hopefully get bet mention for use of scissors.

This youngin had intimidated me. The growth was so explosive and thick, I watered it and ran away. Then I remembered I paid for the electricity. I pulled out my 12 gauge electrical wire and my soft plant wire and let my inner McGyver come out. Electrical light to all the little colas now.

This little girl is still being quite sassy. The little stalks are thick, hearty and don't bend. I trim it back and prop it as it is thick enough to create it's own shadows.

What can I say that the pictures haven't already said. Thick, bushy, and gnarly. Again. For those who are so hopelessly confused. When you care to grow the very best. Mephisto.

Don’t need to rehash the obvious. This plant could have been a monster. The stalks were tough like steel. And look at the toilet brush colas. Looking forward to growing this “correctly.”

great i wish you the best for the contest, you are going for the best way

@hempmex, thank you darling but it is just that one inch exposed. Also this is part of a contest Grow, gotta use 2L bottle. Cannabis Autoflower Growers contest.

PharmaZcommentedweek 47 years ago
What Hempex said, you need to at least cover the bottles so light can't penetrate to the roots... It can cause you problems when the roots touch the sides and are exposed to light, Just for the record I manipulate my plants, remove limbs, sometimes I just stick my face in her bush.. 🤔 Cover up her roots👍🏼

@MadMama, Sorry just looked back thought it was more transparent the whole way down. Good luck on the contest👍🏼

@PharmaZ, the bottle is taped except the one inch you see. Thanks for the tip.

I've been topping, HST'ing and LST'ing my Autos (defoliating too). Very happy with the outcome 👍

@DudeGrowsWeed,We need to start a secret society. I mentioned my growing habits to a person and she implied I was mentally deficient. My plant is crazy large. Knuckles anywhere I need them. I Defol and HST in the morning. Come back in the late evening and can't find my work. They explode. We must kill the myth.

I read your Frankenstein comment on someone else's grow and had to come see for myself. Wow, it's like a train wreck where no one got hurt but the actual wreck looks awesome (in a good way, like a work of art)!

Dairy and set up look great. Best wishes on the grow!

Yes mama maybe u right but for example i choosing autos because they are fast but when Hst on them its add few more weeks on it and when start train on one plant till end of her life cycle trying many things on her. 9 weeks coming to the 14 weeks. Because of that i believe lst is the best option for autos. its my opinion. Good luck

@@frags, can't argue with truth. My Northern Lights is delayed by 3 weeks from transplant and massive manipulation. Tent is too leetle.
