Started main lining her this week. I waited for her to get to the 5th node, then topped her just below the 4th node leaving as much stump above the thirds as I could. I trimmed all foliage below the third node fan leaves. After a couple of days, there was enough growth to tie her down. I use 12 gauge solid wire to do this, which is stronger than that gardening wire, being sure to cut a long enough piece to get pretty deep in the pot. She still pulled these tie downs up as she grew. On day 19, there was enough growth for a second topping just below the first node of the new growth. Again I waited another couple of days for the growth to get to a point where I could tie her down for a second time. I now have four main stems. Once I have enough growth and the second node is starting to grow, I'll top her for the final time giving me eight total main stems and will tie them down once grown. She's taking this really well and I'd like to have everything set before she enters week five. Dubxxl on YouTube has a great series on autoflower main lining, and @yellowsubmarine here in the diaries follows the same protocol. He is getting some amazing results.
Last 2 weeks💕
Pray''n they be swelling 🤞🤞
The PITA ph runoff eh. Im going to change up my feeding/watering try to minimize that happening too.
Good vibs to you my friend ☮️❤️
I'm amazed an auto could handle the mainlining, topping and defoliation without stress, stunting, etc. It sort of goes against everything I've learned about autos.
