How do i grow effectively in a TINY space?

[Olainfarm]

Well, its working alright so far. I ended up upgrading to a mars-hydro T1000, which gave me like 20cm more clearance for the plant to grow. I attached a pic of day 22, already growing pistils 😁 smell is still a big problem though, even at the current stage my whole room has a noticeable weed stink.

How’d she turn out?

Oof... This is an auto.
Good news first. What you got going on looks nice and healthy. Well trained.
Bad news is you lost more than 75% of your harvest when you topped. All you have remaining are the lower branches that are the least productive on the plant. Even the main cola is gone. Figure there would be another 3 sets of flowering branches above what you have going on. Autos generally do not get topped because they do not grow the same as photoperiod/feminized.

Nice, a topped auto. Next time leave two more nodes so you can make 8 branches. The training will help them fit in the cabinet. How much head room is left? Are you still on 18/6 light? Keep it there for an auto to grow. I once did a manifold on plants that were supposed to be photo but turned out to be auto.

That's a few nice colas growing. Low and thick like my Latino ladies. Didn't know you could clone autos either.

They can be cloned, dont expect much from them though as you cannot reset their clock.

Whaaat those buds are stacked! I think some suttos are just built different and will tale any trsining with pleasure. Next time i top i will definitely leave another node or two, but was just stressed about running out of space. Turns out i do have a good bit of headspace left (20 cm or so) and ill soon be out of the flower stretch, will upload a pic once i think its mostly done shooting up 😁 im on a 24/0 light cycle by the way.

I was aware of the risks when i topped it, but in fear of running out of room i went ahead anyways. Seeing how its stretching now i dont think i regret it. I might try just LST next plant, but i think once i dial everything in topping isnt a bad call at all.

If you get dope, it's a good grow.

I think you would have more time to LST that girl into your desired shape by not using autos. I am growing out two auto outside this year and only had time to top once, which is ok outside but when I grow in the smurf tent it takes a while to get them low and spread out, 3ft get used up really quick with pot height and light distance.
