Should I start using techniques on my plant?
John_Federicstarted grow question 4y ago
My plant went into it’s 15th day. Should I use any technique during the next weeks? I never tried anything on outdoor growths; it’s better to leave it grow normally as I did on past grow or should I start exploring the world of techniques? What are the best technique for outdoor?

Once she gets a bit taller you want to bend her over to expose more light into the lower sections of the plant. Your trying to expose the space between the main stem and the fan leaf. When you do this the space that has a tiny growth will start to grow faster and taller. Those growths will grow just like the main stem so essentially your increasing the number of main stocks. It keeps the plant smaller and you get more larger buds then one huge "Top Cob"
Good luck and Happy Growing.

Wait at least till the plant have 4-5 nodes for a faster recovery and better training.
Hope it helped
Good luck

Well, first of all, I think Day 15 is a little too early to do anything... secondly, since this is an autoflower, you don't want to do anything more stressful than LST - they don't LIKE stress and it interrupts their pre-programmed growth pattern so you run the risk of having a poor harvest or not having a harvest at all! I'm on Day 27 with my Blackberry Moonrocks and will be starting some LST this week on her... I wouldn't have even considered it earlier!
Good luck!

Well, you can train them however you want. Although I would recommend letting them grow a bit taller. It's easier to handle them when they have at least 20cm in height. For a rookie in terms of training, I'd suggest LST. You might want to have a look at my Mamba Negra Diary. There you see some nice pics on how I bent the plant. If you want to go for topping, wait until the 4th or 5th node appears! The plants should have a root ball big enough to survive this technique. If you cut them earlier, you risk the plant getting stunned.
Hope this helps a bit, good luck! Servus, Oim.

Watering methodsIs it possible or has anyone tried to water the plant more often but with smaller doses, for example 50%? Is it necessary for watering to flow out of the pot? Are there other watering methods? I ask because when a plant is deficient, I have to wait until the next watering.Other. Other

ARE AUTOS ALWAYS PURE BREED? (REVEG AUTOS)What I want to do is try to reveg the plant (going 24h+blue led) after I've cut the top coal, so the lower coals con grow in direct light. Doing so with no autoflowering breeds is normal but, on the paper, autos are on a death clock.. Can you have mixed genetics autos?6y ago

Watering practice okay?When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.

Both are interchangeable for most purposes. It seems SS has more active ions, would that be a bonus?
