The Great Auto Showdown

[Retodd]

I got you bro

 

[Retodd]

To flux you top after the first and my Jr is topped after the second. My last grow I topped at 6 & 8.

LOL - nothing secures to the hydroton, i have pushed wire through the hydroton, then through the netcup and tied off there

 

[Retodd]

Just another chance for me to say, ‘Hey, nice bush!’ 😂

 

[LurkingInTheGrass]

you paid the guy at the door, right? you don't get to see the bush, unless you pay to see the bush

 

[Retodd]

Anyone watch the series on Netflix about Murder Mountain in Humbolt Co, CA? I know a couple of you are in CA.

Check out my stalk bro

So Mr.furley I can see the base of your plant and it looks like your first set of branches basically start from there?!?! How do you create that kind of internode space? I want mine right and low like that.

 

[oldjarhead100]

wow they are some tight nodes

 

[oldjarhead100]

I chopped the last 2 Jack H these are bottom branches off the smallest plant look at the size for bottom buds . The second is a bouquet of flowers for my honey

 

[Juicyj89]

Hey oldjarhead100 thank you! you grow autos right?? Does this look like it should? I’m not used to the crazy development of an auto.

 

[Retodd]

Juicyj89 Are you gonna start tying those down to open her up some for light? Looks good!

 

[Retodd]

What a pretty bouquet ❤️😂

 

[9fingerleafs]

What a lucky honey 🍯

 

[Juicyj89]

Retodd. I don’t really have a good method to do so at the moment. I have some pipe cleaners put I just can’t seem to put together a good way to use lst being in fabric pots

 

[Juicyj89]

Well I smoked a bowl and figured it out 😑

 

[Mr.furley]

@Juicyj89
Get yourself some Binder clips, they sale them just about anywhere And clip them to the edge of your containers.you can also tie the pipe clearer to things like Bolts, Washers, Nuts. And just gently hang them from your branches to weigh them down. That's how I get my plants flat.
Just be gentle and use patience.

I just wanna add, when we train a plant the objective is to shape into a flat canopy, but some plants will do this on their own once you top them. They grow just like an upside down pyramid. This means you don’t have to do much, how does the plant look from a side and from up top?

 

[9fingerleafs]

Another tip juicy, btw the weight idea from Mr.F works great, you can always wrap your growth tips around the petioles of the big fan leaves

 

[9fingerleafs]

Juicyj89 like this my friend, I know you already trained them but FYI
