This girl has budsites on budsites!! She's wide and a beast!! Gonna feed her till the pistils are half changed then flush will start. Stay tuned everyone!!!
@BigDaddyK, haha I do bend them...you're right! I have yet to grow an XL auto as I do have some height limitations...but I will give one a go here soon I'm sure bro! I will always try a strain recommended to me by a greenthumb as they most likely grew it very well so their review will be on a true strain grown properly.You will love the smell off the HBSS!! And the yield as well!! ππ
@Tenacious_Trichomes, but you bend them anyway π± - it's a lovely smoke - I've been Sent some hubbabubbasmelloscope ( or whatever they are called ) so I'm excited π
@BigDaddyK, plants that are supposed to get big scare me a bit!! Lol as most are medium sized plants and they become monsters!! I'll give her a go one day here just for you bro!! ππ
Okay bro coz i little lst mine for the moment before i really tie them up but im not sure when to do it . If you could check it out and tell me your advice ?
Hey TT, been watching some of your grows and I am curious...are you defoliating some of the lower fan leaves already? I assume that is to expose the side branches to more light but will it affect the stretching as there is less leaf mass to absorb light causing the plant to stretch out to the light a bit more?
@Meezer, yeah man, if the environment is dialed in, you're 90% there. Ensuring enough light and airflow will allow bids to grow and swell without bud rot or mold starting.
I'm a firm believer in lst for increasing yields, open the plants up whenever you can...they will thank you! π
@Tenacious_Trichomes, Thanks for the info, I am still pretty new to both indoor and autos. It's funny that you mentioned all the things I wanted to improve (watering & airflow) by defoliating some of the bottom leaves.
I topped one of my new girls(tangie fastbuds/active diary) and love the way she is growing with some additional LST. I did it REAL early and hope she finishes like she has started. These fast buds quality genetics shined through (I ran their grapefruit) against a couple other breeders I ran in my first run (all my freebie seeds) so if I can improve the yield that would be great!
@Meezer, yup, I am already removing some of the lower fans. I try not to remove many leaves until stretch has finished to not stress the plants too much. But, if a fan leaf is blocking several budsites and I cannot tuck it under anywhere (or if it's going to be clustered) I will remove it. I also do remove some lower leaves near the bucket to allow airflow under the canopy and to ease watering...
In the stretching part, I do t find they stretch more. I remove leaves that have a long stem and with the growing shoot actively growing (has its own little sets of fan leaves exposed for light absorption).

Hello Sir,
could you maybe take a look at my diary and help me to help my friend ?
I would be very very happy if you know anything to help me !
Thank you sir, god bless you !
@cannaguy420, thanks homie!! πβ€οΈπ She's a beast!!! Almost taking up my 3x3 veg cab!!!πππ she's got lots of time left on her, can't wait till she gets stinking heavy!!!
@HydroKitty, this gal has had my eye since she was a baby!!! Had a recommendation from @TaNg for this strain as I wanted some old school flavors. She's been a beast since she was tiny, think she will be my biggest plant yet!!!
Awesome training man. I did this to my Green Crack's and they just went crazy and widened out way more than expected. Haven't grown too many autos but read quite a bit on them. Anxious to see what your mama yields! I'll be hanging around watching for your updates!
@Tate0420, glad to have you here man!! Yeah, I have height limitations which makes me have to train all of my plants. But doing so, yields have been quite impressive to say the least!! And thanks for the kind words!! β€οΈπ
Looking forward to following your progress!
What LEDs are you using, if you don't mind me asking? I found a Roleadro 800W (~380w actual) COB LED and I was wondering what your thoughts were on that?
@terpenes, thanks man for the kind words! I'm currently using an Amare Technologies SE 350+UVB. It has an actual draw of 350 watts. I'm probably not the guy to be asking about led panels, I just looked at these guys and one other company and went with Amare. But if they are true cob led then I'd say it would be an upgrade from the standard 5w diodes in most brands. The cobs will definitely help with penetration of the canopy compared the the chips.
