    I was iffy about it, but I figure I'm still about 10 - 14 days from flower, so it should have time to do whatever it is going to do. If I'm right, and I may very well not be, it'll grow a short stretch and have plenty of room for colas

    I'm guessing the worst I can expect would involve colas shorter than expected, thereby, reducing the yield. I could live with that. It's my first grow after all.

    Actually, the worst would be that the goofs who keep telling me that you can't train autos would win one.

    But maybe just one.

    I'll mostly leave her alone if I can.

    To your second point, are you saying that I shouldn't top the plant? Or should I not train down the top node?

    Just not clear to me. I appreciate your input.

    Stay tuned for updates.

      Or.....or...... you grow some monster colas! I know it can be done.
      what I am suggesting is to not strip one or four nodes out of the Middle and train them to stay there so you don't have a hole in the middle with a ring of monster buds.
      Imagine 12 colas not just 10.


      It is getting harder and harder to find Green75 work on here but it is worth reading what he can make them autos do. Here is one of his grows, he hates leaves.

      I did enjoy that. The video was cool as well.

      Just wanted to post a couple of snapshots of this plant 48 hours after a hard pruning. I had to add nutes this morning to keep the PPM up. She's turning up and seems healthy.
