Autoflowers and lst/defolation?

OPfarmer · Aug 15, 2018

As a vegetable farmer, I have 10's of thousands of plants in my care.

I live by LESS=MORE.

My time and energy goes into making great organic growing meduims, that don't need much after you drop the seed.
And
Selecting good genetics

Of course plants need Healthy grow conditions. Yep, with autos tuck a leaf, that's even alot for me to do.

lol your training didn't pay off, weres those even tops? nice christmas tree

My thread got heated lmao. I knew people would agree to disagree on here. I’m not doing shit to my autos and they look great. Much better than my first fastberry Auto this OP was about. I tuck down leaves, that’s it. I think they look great minus a phosphorus deficiency I’m starting to take care of.

What kind of yield do y’all think I’ll pull from the two? They’re bloody skunk autos, both are 32” tall. Week 5 into flower. Ones a 2 gal pot coco other is 3 gal pot soil. 300w true led.

Thanks man, it’s my third grow ever and best/biggest grow yet. I’d be more than happy with 5oz. But I also just got the light and tent. Been growing in a 2x2 with 300 viparspectra lol. I got a few other plants going. I got three photos and two autos. I plan on tossing the 3 photos in my 4x2 And going to try a scrog for a first time and pack it. Going to grow the two autos in my veg tent.

You don't have to disparage a person for there opinions or rank there plants, some people keep it simple pop and walk, others do stuff, run the 24 7, top, prune ect, I try to keep my grow simple, everybody is useing different stuff, lights, medium, I have grown since I was 16, I'm now 53, for the last 8 autos, you can do anything to an auto you can do to a photo except clone, you can go round and round like a dog chasing it's tail and there will still be people who leave there plant alone and do fine, I tinkered for over a year till I got a method down that worls, you ask for help and when you don't like what you here you disparage them or there plants .

You should stop calling other people's opinions and methods 'Bullspit', you will get the same courtesy extended back.

It all depends on the strain some react better than others to the different techniques ie lst,topping,hst etc. Having said this in general autos go best when left alone or with very minimal interference other than a little bit of leaf tucking or lst. I have myself topped autos with various results but I think in the future I will give it a miss.
