Growers choice. Critical purple auto

PURPLEB3RRYKUSH said:

Drop the light to 14/10 to help jump start flower on finiky auto's. If no buds by 65 days, not an auto. Cant even see any signs of sex yet, looks male though or using weak light.

Hi there, I took some pics just a moment ago. Hopefully you guys can help me determine anything based off these. Thank you again.

I came home to find the white pistils popping out today. So female. Yay

I just posted on my other thread about my plant being to tall for my closet now. I have no more height to move my light up. I need to move it outside or I need to cut the top of the plant down. I thought about bending it down with some string but I don't have much room to the side of this plant to be bending it over. Any suggestions are appreciated. Either move it outside, modify it by cutting down the top end of the plant or some kind bending tips would be very welcome. Have a good Sunday.

After watching videos.. I committed to the bend of the stem. It hurt to do this but I didn't want it to be outside if I used string to bend the whole plant over it would have been on my wife's stuff in the closet so couldn't have that. I know understand the importance of lst and or topping. Yikes.

Don't ever take anyone seriously if they tell you to never top an auto. They just don't know much. Top by 21 days when they have 5 nodes and you still have 1 to 2 weeks before it flowers.

Word. Thank you. After this plant I'm gonna do another critical purple cause I have two seeds left from growers choice. After the next two I bought hubbabubnasmelliscope I think it's called from mephisto. And that plant is supposed to be a big autoflower. So what I learn with this one and the next two I'll do on my mephisto seed. Random thoughts. Thanks for the encouragement though

Meant to say the next two plants I'll top and do lst on em. Is LST standard to do on all topped plants? Or just top and let it do it's thing?

Funny as hell. I got a Mephisto Fantasmo Express and Hubbabubbasmelloscope right now. Just shy of 2 weeks if i recall. At 3 full nodes and growing the 3rd off and 2 days later the 1st(its always spindly anyways. They should go around 40-45 days before flower, so i might top them a 2nd time when these 2 new mains get 3 nodes each for 4 main tops and still have 10-14 days before they flower.

Oh, they will get bigger for sure. They have another 4-5 weeks to veg taller. They wont be 4 ft, but still around 2 or just over. But now she'll be trained to have even colas. I don't post mad pics. Usually take a pic every week. I'll keep you updated if intrested so you can see how they turn out.

Yes, please! I learn a lot from all of these threads. It could only help me. Thank you.

So after switching to 12/12 and bending and tying down the main stem, all the side branches shot up and took the main stems place. Their about 12 inches from the light. If I don't see any light burn do you think I should just leave them and not stress the plant by super cropping all these side branches? Any input appreciated. I'm leaning towards just leaving it as is btw. I just like all you fellow growers opinions
