Autoflower training

[Canuck147]

LSD is supposed to be a colorful plant - i plan on letting her have a solo overnighter outside - when I can count on what the temp will be.

My question to anybody - at which stage do I do it? Fully in flower or just as the flowering begins?

 

[Canuck147]

Read up and Nebula says later in flowering.

Anybody else grow it?

 

[SoOrbudgal]

never grew LSD auto

Took the girls out to the kitchen sink for watering - gets a bit warmer I'll take them outside.

Bruce was the tallest at 3.5 inches - couldn't find the tape measure with metric sorry Captain - other 2 were at 3 inches

Started with plain water and last watering had a smattering of nutes - today they got full strength nutes. One of the girls had her first single leaves snipped off- they were looking ugly.

I know I said I wipe the tent down every time I take them out - discussions ensued and we all decided that 2 days ago we wiped the tent down really good - so we'll work on cleaning it once a week instead.

Pics are taken before watering and I'll be back in a few days when t he LST begins. Hopefully topping as well.

No need for sorry my friend. They look good.
I always enjoy seeing your auto grows to be honest.

I have been away for a bit as I didn't want to ruffle any feathers or confuse anyone. Me and Myself just slept. We and All did the chores. Number 6 wants to join in but None and It objected. Everyone loves your little girls!

 

[Canuck147]

Looks like they enjoyed the nutrients.

Bruce is working on node 6 - the 2 others 1 node behind. Not topping today - but - did start LST on Bruce. Removed the first nodes branches as well as the second nodes fan leaves - easier to attempt the training with them out of the way.

After this little chop - chop I'll see how she reacts - then off with her head.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Boy they sure show growth quickly

 

[CaptainWiese91]

Looking good !
They loved the nutrients alright

 

[Farmbuck]

I see they are growing fast.

 

[Canuck147]

Once they get their roots set it's uphill all the way.

 

[Farmbuck]

So tell me they can be topped right ? Photos I don't have any issues but autos I'm curious.

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Do you always use 2 gallon pots for indoor autos? I haven’t found my happy place with autos yet.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

I just removed 2 fans on 2 plants that are very healthy autos. But they have short bud site stems so i don't want those yet to LST i may not at all ? Hey Canuck147 is it OK to talk about our autos were doing on this thread, maybe you can answer some things? Do ya wanna ?

 

[Canuck147]

Topping at the sixth is impending.

 

[Canuck147]

Ask away - invite anyone.

 

[Canuck147]

Give those shorts shoots a few days and they'll be ready - probably similar to the pic above - third mode stems are too short for the LST yet.

 

[Canuck147]

Always 2 gallons - try and limit their size a bit.

Bruce was topped today - Cookies and Lucy are still a bit behind. The way Bruce is growing tells me she was a good candidate for topping. Now Lucy has nodes growing very close together - tells me if I top her she just may be indignant enough to stop growing vertically altogether. I have grown 9 inch tall autoflowers in the past - although they do get bushy - but difficult to train cuz my fat fingers get in my way sometimes.
