Pruning????

Apolloo
Apolloostarted grow question 3 years ago
Hello everyone. I am growing for the second time and this time I am growing 10 gorilla cookies Auto It is the 7th week. They appear generally healthy, but is it too early to try lollipoping? Also, if I do lollipoping, will any other pruning be necessary?

If those are fastbud gorilla cookies autos I would not lollipop at all and prune in the last few weeks of flower or as the leaves die off either will work....I grew 5 of those recently and they liked being bent over but I started that early on in veg like 2nd week, also they did well with about 1/3 of the amount of nutrients the labels actually state to use with alot of water those girls where thirsty and it took them longer to grow then what the info on them says. That is just a general time they give you on the breeders sites as far as time is concerned for growth, they are plants and will grow as they please.

Thanks for the advice! The last time I grew an auto variety, it also flowered about 2 weeks later than indicated. I am counting the day I germinated it and planted it in a pot as day 1, is this correct? Also, is it because I am using coco medium and fabric pots and giving less than half the amount of fertilizer as indicated?

Generally you do minimal pruning (which means no lollipopping) with auto's because they don't have time to recover from the stress. Most people do low stress training. Is your photo from the 7th week? If so I'd be getting concerned why they are not flowing. Normally they start around week 4-6 but I wouldn't get worried until week 8 at which time I'd consider switching the lights and grow them as photo's.
