The Great Auto Showdown

[Mr.furley]

Good point Ohj, but I have run out of horizontal space as well.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Man guys, you are setting a high bar... Awesome looking plants

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Out of this world beautiful ! Very pretty shot.

I’m with OJH. Does topping a bud do something to it? I thought you topped during vegetation to break up apical dominance. How would that help during flower?
I’ve got much to learn!

Wife's plants have been doing ok, leggy but they were thrown in a pot and told to survive. Going to try to Auto's this year, just to keep space needs down. Will use feminized next year one I find a mother I like, clone it, clone it

You guys think this plant will have a good yield? P98 Bubba kush in 5 ga .

Got it from a post a week or so ago - someone mentioned it's a trick commercial growers use to plump up the buds. Got some larfy buds on one plant so I thought I would give it a try. These grows are all small experiments in my opinion. So I cut the bud tops on the Kush as well.
Thought about it and it kinda makes sense - stopping the plant from pushing the flower up, but it is still pushing energy into the bud - making it fatter?
I guess we'll find out - I'll let y'all know.

 

[Canuck147]

Lots of branches coming up .

 

[s62]

Heck yeah, keep us posted. I’m super curious

 

[Retodd]

Looking great bro. I’ve been meaning to ask, are they in 5 gallon pots?

 

[Canuck147]

2 gallon pots Retodd.

 

[Juicyj89]

So is that a yes?

 

[Canuck147]

Boomshuckaluck - French Canadian word for - Bloody Well Right

 

[Juicyj89]

Haha hell yeah that's what I love to hear. Thanks mate

 

[oldjarhead100]

[oldjarhead100]

Awhile ago I read something on Flash seeds Maua Tye its an auto but it takes 105 to 110 days so it should have room for training they are mostly Stativa .any ways I've been trying to buy right from flash seeds ,they want to get paid by paypal but the address wouldn't work ,credit cards not taken I asked to send cash nope ,so I broke down and got them from seedsman ,This buying seeds is getting to be a Big old PITA

Coinbase doesn't take CC anymore so you have to do a bank transfer that takes 14 days so I tried a CC and was denied ,called them and had to wait 10 minutes for it to clear just hit the button again and it went though so I will be firing up the auto tent

Cool - I mentioned on another thread I ordered seeds from Crop King Seeds. Ordered them last Thursday and were delivered tuesday morning, paid by etransfer.

So I have my these 2 plants that just look like they are growing way way more bud sites than all my others. It's like some mutated monster plant. I did veg for way too long in a 1L airpot (needed males for last grow and these were the females, needed small until ready) and supercropped many branches.

The cola below has 4 branches shooting off which are the same length. Many of them are weighing so much the branches just droop down with gigantic 3 finger leaves. I also started them under 12/12 to spot the sex and then vegd again. I have to defoil every 2-3 days or else no light will get past the top.

I am trying to figure out if this is a direct result of flowering then veg and stressing the plant or just kind of a random thing. If so, then would it be worth doing this on purpose, but maybe to a lesser degree?

Is there a risk to 12/12 seedling and then veg again?

Oh, strain is Early Durban (DP + Early Flower Skunk).Should I worry about the 1 and 3 finger leaves or maybe is it just a strain thing?

last pic is the auto I tapped together and wow it grew a lot
