Here's a window sill grow of LR2 I did a while back. I LST'd just to try it out. IMO not much benefit to do it to autoflowers. No point stressing them out in their short fixed lifetime, but good practice though

well homies... slight disaster onmyend.. noticed root growth had completely ceased and no new growth... after a lil investigatin i found that my root was no longer viable... so i transplanted to my dwc setup... threw a humidity dome over the top (due to the fact that she has no main root atm) and now crossing my fingers she will make it... i.ll post piks shortly... sorta sad... to date, thi has been my worst grow an i feel i may be losing my green thumb... are legit seeds harder to grow out than bagseed?
also, i took out therest of the 26 watts and replaced them with 15 watt 5000k lights.. so my wattage is currently at 105 watts...

Actually Frenchy those new pics look quite good. Aside from the droopyness at the end of the leaves (which I can't explain). The colour in the leaves looks fine and the flowering sites look OK too. So yeah... methinks you'll pull a few g's off this. Keep it upsy dudeupdate time again

don't worry micro, They'll prob be ok. I've dont the same thing (soil to hydro). I had the little bark jiffy pots that were filled with soil. The plants inside got big enough to transplant but I didn't have any soil, so I stuck them in a home-made ebb and flow system with hydroton medium. At first, growth was slow because the roots hadn't penetrated the paper pots yet, but once they did, they shot off like a bullet. I couldn't believe how much faster hydroponics was over soil (I just noticed that no one is growing their auto in hydroponics...). Just don't give up until it's hopeless. Good luck.

"nightly" picture update, she seems to be responding to the lst well, i will transplant into a bigger pot in a few days and plan on training her around the rim if she lets me. either way its good knowledge and practice. whats everyone think?

Has she grown much since the LST?
I ask because I LST'd my Il Diavolo and she didn't respond well to it.
When I untied her, she started growing normally again.
Because of the mistake, she only grew 15 inches tall and the branches never fully developed.
Something to think about. I left it on for way too long tho.
If you don't see considerable growth in two weeks, you might think about letting it go.
Pre-Smoke Report
I didn't cure it at all, and the stems still bent easily. When I tried to break up the buds, strips of the stem tore off with the flowers. The flowers themselves were dry to the touch.
I cut them off best I could and loaded a bowl in the bong-o and gave it a rip. Because (I hope) I didn't cure it and it wasn't completely dry, it had little flavor. Kind of an earthy, musky, mushroom-like subtle taste in the senses on the way down, nothing up. It tasted like really good soil smells lol.
It smelled like rotting fruit,or musky fruit, but only slightly.
The high was pleasant, and lively. Got me to write all this so I guess it's doing something. I feel still (20 minutes later) a good head stone that is only now (unless I'm just now noticing it) coming on very nicely. Don't wanna sleep anymore (I was falling asleep before I smoked it); not hungry; hate to be cliche but it makes me wanna do something. Eyelids are a little heavy. Overall not bad for pre-smoke sample.

was they in soil first then you in dwc sorry if i miss read i abit redeyed at min i thought that the root structures would be differant like in dwc the develop air roots at top of root ball an the hairs are spaced further apart or summin an soil roots are far more hairy to break down food an to intake air/water,damn i so high i cant type what i am trying to say they will bounce back but once the root structure adjust to the water submersed situation hence the yellowing of the lower leaves,its using its own food as its not able to break/uptake nutes like it was able to in soil once the root structure adjust an grows to its enviroment it will grow big big BIG or am i wrong????? or her roots are not developed for dwc and you are feeling the effects of overwatering maybe???
