Autoflower training

Curious how the MG experiment goes. I have auto seeds replacements, wanted to put one in a pot on the patio table on June 1st, it'd be cooked by now. In a heatwave here. Good luck!
 
Me too. Normally wouldn’t use it but I already soaked the seed and thought I had more OF than I did. If this works, miracle grow and straight water it’ll be easy.
 
Here is the Northern lights auto that was curled around. Also the runt.

I'd wait until they actually pop and start spraying pollen.

I foolishly cut two Lowryder2 x La Diva before their balls popped and they failed to produce any pollen as they dried. I was afraid to let them mature because I had other females in close proximity. They looked about like yours when I chopped.
 
Saturday evening I set the pots on top of basins to see if closer lights would help. Yesterday the nephew came over to install the new ceiling exhaust fan, when I opened the box a broken piece of plastic fell out first so I'm waiting on another fan to arrive. He lowered the lights with some heavy duty s/s 'S' hooks I have, 3-4" long. Keeping the house AC set at 70 to keep the closet at 80F max. I got some plant training hooks, I want to keep Chewy laid out. I removed some leaves from Lemon. The runt is still stacking buds all around the stem, like one big bud. On the last pic, NL runt's top, do those top leaves have to stay on? Not sure if age or a day late watering once but the centers are drying, browning. I need to water and use the hooks today. Still hot and dry here in northern IL.

Catfish22 I'm having a viewing pics issue on your post. At 7-8 weeks was your runt opened up or pretty much hugging the stem still? Yours are looking nice.

I started training the runt like I had laid it down. Then it just stalled while the unseen stem damage repaired itself.
It started flowering and had 6 or 7 budsites and it just stayed stocky and packed on flower weight.

What do y'all think as far as bud rot concerns? I'm keeping H about 50-60%, temp 76°F (24). I keep a breeze around them and first thing in the AM they get a pretty steady breeze for about an hour. The runt's colas have been packed pretty tight for awhile. Trichomes are still a little early as are pistil hairs. I would hate to lose it to bud rot.
How long would you wait for them to ripen? I feel they will hit the tipping point by the weekend at the pace they have progressed, would I be pushing too far to wait until then?
 
Ah, the first post all 3 pics are the same plant? I'm wondering if mine will pull its buds outward because of weight, and I'd be concerned for rot on mine but my RH is 40% average - light heat & AC running w/doors partly open, waiting for an intact ceiling fan to arrive. I thought in flower RH was supposed to be up to 50%.
 
Might not look like much but I threaded the needle (plant hooks): Chewy is laid down exposing bud sites; you can see through Lemon's stem; part of the runt's stem is visible. The cat topped Chewy at node 4.

Looking real nice Canuck147 Top pics really showing dark bud colours, almost purple. Chunky frosty buds too. I think I remember that you go pretty much full amber (hope that's right)...check the trichs yet?
 
they havent opened yet but there are more pods now. ive been looking at pictures and trying to see what they look like pre and post pop.

they be getting close.... im excited. my strawberry pie auto is on like wk2 flower (wk6) so i need them pollen sacs to open now so i can knock her up.
i will only try to pollinate one branch of each SP. 2 different phenos (one tall one bushy).
hopefully the babies strawberry mimosa evo pie FAST? ones 30% and 26% thc so hopefully the offspring will be in upper 20s-30
 
I guess I should have put a net across it. Some of the branches are going to need support. I suppose I should order some yoyos!
 
panalilies Lily, here are the midgets before and after I watered, and threaded the hooks. Doesn't look like much but I can see through Lemon, and part of the runt's hidden stem. Their tops feel like a big fat nug. I don't know what else to do with them right now. Bizzaro girls. I hope Chewy can make up for some of my yield. Temps in the 90's will be back in a few days. :(
