Autoflower training

What you are seeing is the start of the bud sites. They will continue to grow, fastly, and you will start to see that tangly mess at the stalk unless you keep it thinned. Try not to damage any until you decide what to keep.

PS I saw your other post. That's how I knew what you were talking about!
 
Canuck147 and the others can explain what to take off and why better than I.

That's why I say don't mess with any sites until your sure you want to remove them.
 
I use the lights ppfd map (the center of the light has the most ppfd/intensity) to my advantage in this case, you can keep your light closer to a plant out on the edge. I put the taller ones on the edges or even corners of the tent and shorter ones in the middle and then they all get the same ppfd/intensity of light in hopes of keeping node spacing closer. This is helpful during flower to, with a flat canopy the middle will cook while the edges are perfect but if the middle plant is 25 inches away and the ones on the edges are at 18" they're getting closer to the same amount of light
 
I do that also MeEasy i'm still working with my new light, i need to do a full grow with it to check the spacing with new seedlings. I might have another month on my autos. Mine are in with some photo clones at 20/4 time. I've got zero space in tents and 4 beautiful GG#4 clones i made waiting to get into that tent, love to give these away :D
 
I think if I understood what you were trying to say was you had to move your light because one plant was getting to tall. You didn't like having to move the light because it was possibly going to make your other plant stretch. So I posted what I do when this happens to me. Now I'm thinking that I misunderstood your post and so my post doesn't make sense to you.
 
Hey Canuck147 , just thought I'd show how my plants are doing at 25 days after trying to utilize some of the info from this thread. Didn't start as early as you did unfortunately so I didn't top them, but I have been trying to tie them down and defoliate in a similar way. The bigger one is no Bruce but I am happy with her so far, she seems to have loved her recent haircuts. The smaller one I may have been a bit hack happy with, I think she'll be okay in a couple days though. Apologies if you'd rather not have me post something like this on the thread.

They both blew up a full Inch overnight on me and the smaller one showed me she was just fine with her haircut by having most of the leaves on her branches grow 25-30% bigger. I've just got to remember she has always been a few days slower than her sister.
 
SoOrbudgal ,oh yes ma'am! I fully include myself in that statement!

I would never of had the patience to grow this wonderful plant when I was younger. Now, being on disability but not quite at retirement age, I have the interwebs, good weed and nothing better to do.

I enjoy them all!
 
I see youse two let the bindings off.
Yup - me and myself we released em.
Why.? I ask.
cuz they look like what we wuz doing has kinda set in - the branches are doing what we asked them to.
I see - so like the title says 'autoflower training ' - training part is over? If so I'll just close this thread down now before you guys make mistakes.
Go ahead - me and myself will still post pics.
I'll steal the camera.
Camera's built into the tablet you're typing on. Me I wouldn't call that typing - he's just poking at it with one finger.
I'll put duct tape over the lens.
You couldn't find it.

Anyways - full strength nutes today - took outside for watering and pics.
Cookies has stretched up to 27 inches - Lucy has put one a few inches and her pistils are brightening up - Bruce is still kinds holding off on her pistils - got lotsa spots for them.

Explosive growth! Nice of both of you to take the bindings off. That pic of the bottom of the one plant really shows your training team work.
