Any pic updates sir?
Hey guys, been pretty busy with my midterms lately. But here are the pictures for Day 25. I started to LST 2-3 days ago. And it seems to be working very well. Today, I have started to train the stem to another direction. I'm planning on looping the stem around the pot, only if the autoflower permits enough growth. Because it is relatively low, the leaves are touching the soil. But I am sure it'll be fine

DAMN NIGGA. I got mass internode spacing compared to your plant haha. That's bigger than mine at 3 weeks, mine's 10 weeks tomorrow! XD
Alright guys, this is Day 30 From Seed. I may have messed up the date for my last update.
As you can tell, I have started to LST train my baby.
My plan is to direct the little branches towards where the Yellow pipe cleaner is. And allow the main stem to grow towards that empty spot in the pot.
The leaves are healthy as ever!
Hope you guys enjoy this update.
For those who are experienced with LST, how am I doing so far? And any tips on how to train this further? All criticism and advice are welcome!

I don't think autoflower needs 6500k or veg, couldn't you just stick em under 2700k and 12/12? People say a slight amount of 6500k & a higher amount 2700k lighting will work best because it supplies dual spectrum. Someone said that having 6500k bulbs in with 2700k will bring out pistils too - I put a 24w 6500k CFL in my cab every couple of days for a few days. Donno if it actually works though.

Lookin good man!
To answer your question I don't think it matters at all what spectrum you use. Now there are probably some benefits to using a flowering spectrum for autos lowers once they show sex but again I don't think it truly matters. It will probably help though. I say give it a shot!

I am aware that during flower, it is best having a 12/12 cycle. However, I am growing autoflowers, so in order to maximize my yield, I should stick with my current cycle, 20/4. Autoflowers go through the stages on its own, so you don't need to change to 12/12 to trigger the flowering stage.
Thanks man,
Yah, I'm thinking of replacing 4 of my 6500k's with the 2700k's, So i'll have 4 2700k, and 2 6500k from now until harvest.

Plants are looking great man, Iv read that BM Autos are similar to NL Autos (which Im currently growing), Im at day 19, and they look identical to your earlier pics from the same period. Will be paying attention to this over the next few weeks to hopefully pick up some tips. When did you plants start to show signs of flowering?
I'm not too sure lol. probably 4 days ago?
Hey guys, these are the pictures for Day 34. I'm pretty damn sure its in the flowering stage now. I have read that during flowering stage, its best not to touch the plant too much.
I have two questions to ask:
1) In the 3rd picture, i tied down the main stem, in between the nodes of the main stem. Is this ok? Or am i going to mess up with its growth for a large nug?
2) Because my plant is so damn short and bushy, I can only water the rim of the pot effectively. Watering near the main stem is difficult to reach. Am I going to be ok if I just water along the rim of the pot?
