It is ok the size of these autos?

Gramada · Apr 16, 2020

Hi guys! I have these autoflowers and they are 16 days old. It looks so small to me. It is ok to be like that after 16 days? I really appreciate your answers. Thank you!

They look fine. They're busy developing roots right now. In a few more weeks they'll start taking off. If you're going to top them, it's best to do so before day 21. After a six day 'recovery' period, you can start to LST them. Good luck!

Hey, thank you so much. I don't know if i will top them, because i never did it before and i am afraid not dying after cutting the top or maybe will not have time to recover...

You'll do fine. Don't believe all the hype about autos not being able to take a little stress. It's been well documented in this thread that topping before day 21, as I mentioned above, will do no harm.

Ok, then it is time to cut theirs top, no? Today is 19 days old, so it is time to top. Wait for your answer. Thank you!

Yep, now's the time.

Ok, did it to all of them. Some between third and fourth node and some after fourth node

It is also well documented that topping autos will reduce yield potential. Should have looked into LST.

I will LST them after a week to recover. Just Be said that it is ok and will be fine.

Yes you didnt kill them so youve got that going for you. I would have at least just topped half of them lol then you could have made a comparison and figured out what works best for you.

Stop spreading rumors. If it's so 'well documented', you should back up that claim with (you guessed it) documentation.
Since you'll most likely be unable to do so, here's a thread that proves that you're flat out wrong.

Just search for training methods for autoflowers. Theres plenty of people on both sides of the fence.

I agree. Those who have read that topping is bad and those who've successfully topped.

No one is saying his plants are going to be pathetic garbage now. Just saying he might have seen 10% more yield had he just done LST. Technique and success is up to the individual grower.

Where can i find a video that shows how to lst exactly step by step?

There isnt just one way to LST. Personally i stick a bamboo stake in at a 45 degree angle and tie the main trunk to it every 3-4 days when i water. Some people tie branches down... some people bend stems.... do the research.

Ok, but i need to know from begining. When they are small and young like mine. Need to know exactly because i don't want to make it wrong :d and now i guess i must feed them more in this time when recover? I use flora nova grow for veg and biobizz bloom and topmax for flowering.

This was day 24, the day i put the bamboo stakes in. As you can see they arent all the exact same size. There is no exact right way to do things.
