Autoflower training

Not gonna bother with a pic, but I've got a BBanner and a GGlue seedling stretching their heads up into the light. A Girl Scout just poked her helmet haid above soil too. All Autos. Bruce is insanely Leggy, like three inches tall and 1/32" wide! Following your progress intently Canuck147.

Post a pic of Bruce topped?
 
Snipped off no more than 1/4 inch of growth in topping Bruce

I'm a new grower. 2nd grow inside a 2x2x4 tent. Growing autos as well. Following advice given here I top at the 5th. So far no issues at all. All my plants are healthy before topping. I'm in Michigan (legal state) so it's a fun hobby.
 
Took the girls out for watering/feeding - fed them a tea blend (bird poo/worm stuff...) - I water in the sink with 2 containers 2 gallons each. With 3 plants these 4 gallons are best for me - always get runoff and the containers are easier to measure the nutes and stuff. Phed to 6.4.

Bruce is going to be a good one - the little abuse i gave her hasn't slowed her at all. Reset her bindings to allow for the vertical growth - don't want to hold her down.

Lucy is a slow one - working on node 5.. She strikes me as an autoflower that is not going to be tall.

Cookies I chopped off her first node - branches are almost ready for a little training - working on node 5.

And while myself and I did all this - it was me who wiped down the inside of the tent.

I'm following along with great interest. :o Nice photos & great looking plants.
Thanks for showing every step Canuck147 👍🏻 I plan on sowing my first ever Autos as soon as my grow area is clear from a massive Purple Trainwreck & Sugar Breath both in 13th week of flower :sweating: :) Is it any wonder I want to try Autos?! :laugh:
 
Now Lucy here I'm undecided on what to do with her - her nodes are really close together as well as her branches are taking their time growing. So just so she didn't feel left out - I snipped off 2 leaves to let some light on her small jumbled mess . As well to find out if she likes being hacked at.

Nice healthy Cookies & I like your cat.
Why do I feel for node no.6 already 🙂 Thanks for literally spelling this process out.
Must admit, I've never started 'work' on such young plants.
 
Oh Bruce! She'll be alright, looks so healthy & vibrant.
What hours have you started on? 18 light, 24hr or another if you don't mind telling me.
You & your plants are going to be like good friends to us following you know.🙂
 
Enjoying & appreciating seeing all these stages of training.
Lucy looks reticent & needs to be teased out gently. 🙂 Alot like my photo Sugar Breath did, showing Indica traits, almost there at 13weeks flower.:cry::smile:
None of that with Autos! I'm so looking forward to planting for first Auto grow.
 
it's in my signature - 18/6 - used to go 20/4 - but my Cree COB doesn't have that in the timer - so its easier to let the timer in the light do t b e on/off for me.
Don't want to go 24/7 cuz I don't want to burn out my light too fast.
 
With autoflowers one has to start it early - sometimes- most times their stems are quite thick and not very pliable.
