Gusher Fems and Epsilon 1 autos

[AMP]

My frosty autos have been harvested and are hanging pretty in 60/60. They are smaller than my last autos cuz they are a fast strain . Topping didn’t do much as far as i can tell, but it was nice to try something new. Striving for a long and slow dry to preserve those fruity vanilla terps and flavor🥰no fan this time but exhaust on medium and vents open at the bottom is creating airflow.I am now slow flipping my photos

3rd Grow
DAY 15 since the flip
I was dealing with what i think was a nitrogen deficiency but they seem to be bouncing back, colors have gone from a bright green back to normal so hopefully i was right. I can’t believe how many bud sites there are in a photoperiod plant!!! im hoping i will have the space for them once they start to flower. Wish me luck

i reaped almost 8 oz from my 4 small and quick autos , Epsilon 1. They smell fruity with a hint of vanilla. Made a nice hash puck out of the trimmings And whooooooooa momma 🥰 GO BILLS

Are you going to defol them?

 

[AMP]

Hey Ckbrew, believe it or not i have been defoliating on every other watering. Next watering i was debating on if i should defoliate again but your comment sealed the deal i was able to
expose many bud sites the last time. Do you recommend i remove large fan leaves that are blocking lower sites AND under growth or one or the other? Any advice would be greatly appreciated🫶🏼

 

[Ckbrew]

I usually do a heavy defol at day 21 post flip, then another after stretch is done. That is when I strip the big fan leaves and any lower bud sites that I don't want to keep. This is the last time you get to sculpt you plants to grow the way you want them. How you want to trim them is for you to decide, just let them know what you expect and listen to what they tell you what they can do. After stretch is when I usually hit them with a broom.

 

[AMP]

AWESOME advice thank you! My instincts were telling me i should trim and lolly, like i would with an auto so i really appreciate the help my ladies thank you. This is the first photo stretch for me so I’m trying to figure out when done is done. My tall one in the back is done i Think. The other two need more time. They are all different sizes.

 

[AMP]

And just like that i have pistil sites. I’m going to trim them tomorrow at feeding time

Nice, with a happy emoji 😀

 

[Gator]

That's why I like photos, you have plenty of time to play with them

 

[AMP]

Riiiiiight thanks for the reminder 🫶🏼 busy day tomorrow 🥰

 

[AMP]

😳😳😳 ummm did i pop with too much lolly ?!!!. I was not GWS this time and let the plant guide me but??? They look really nakey! Everything is a learning experience so whats done is done but wjats the word? Too much?

 

[Ckbrew]

Nothin wrong with nakey, particularly the bottom. You will be surprised at how fast they recover. In a few days they will look very different. Imo cutting stuff off stimulates growth.

 

[AMP]

😮‍💨 Phew . My natural instincts along with what I’ve learned
feels right but sometimes i worry that there’s a better way. I just want to give them everything they need.

 

[Bowhunterwoody]

Looks ok to me. Give it a little time.

 

[AMP]

@bowhunter , yay, ok thanks

ADVICE PLEASE Day 25
my instincts want me to remove these bottom branches. They have nice sized buds but i keep thinking they won’t get close enough to the light to make it worth the energy the plant is spending. I’m also only familiar with autos so im unsure if im underestimating how much this photo can do? Please lend me your opinions asap. It’s the plant front left.

 

[golfnrl]

If it were me I'd let them grow out, if for nothing else to give a guide for next time. Those girls are looking good and well maintained. My guess is they will develop into a nice medium sized bud. It may depend on the confidence you have in your light. It looks like those buds would have good access to the light but just down low.

 

[Bowhunterwoody]

Agreed. Id leave em.

 

[Ckbrew]

I would not cut them. They need to be spread out to catch the light. They may be past that if the stems are woody. Carefully tie them back but don't break them. That would have been easier when they were younger. Just keep that in mind for the next time. Part of the learning process. Carry on.

 

[AMP]

Thanks guys. I’ll leave her to it. I actually did LST them all but those few branches were either not tied or grew so hearty they ripped out their anchor. I’m going to try VERY CAREFULLY to see if i can retie them to open up the canopy a little. You guess are the best! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AND Betty thanks you too🫶🏼
