Tie them loosely for air space I gather?

Those are Root Trapper II 5 gallon. Thanks.

Thanks all. I do have bamboo stakes. I'll get some twist tie. :bigjoint:

I didn't have the heart to remove any of these 6 Mephistos Autoflowers. Now I have spindly branches. Should I let them just support each other? Should I tie them up? I'm afraid when the buds get heavier they will break the plants.

I'm new at this but yes you fold them up. I described in my top post.

Little flowers everywhere. I consider this training a success.

Sweet flowers holy cow! :hump:

I love growing this wonderful plant. Thank you.

Very pleased with how the ponytailing and leaf tucking have provided more potential bud sites so far.

They seem to be at an intense growth stage right now where when I wake up and check them in the morning I'm always amazed. Víva Mephisto!!

Thanks for the clarification. Since they are autoflowers I'm going very LST on them. No cutting.

It is tricky and I'm learning I hope.

I appreciate your feedback. I'm pretty much a newbie grower still. What do "fim" and "opp" acronyms stand for? Plus I'm older...60 years soon. Gracias

They are getting bushy. I'm leaf tucking and ponytailing. Trying for a carpet of flowers.

BEFORE PONYTAIL AFTER PONYTAILS

After 3 sessions of "ponytailing" and leaf tucking I am seeing results as the side branches come up to meet the main stem top in length. I'll soon ponytail my others. So far for them I've been leaf tucking with some success.

Good to know. I read somewhere that folding the top up does more than just cut off light. It actually changes the plant's chemical response sending growth stimulus away from the top and to the side branches. Not sure how accurate that is though.

It slows down the main stock growth which encourages the side branches to grow for a fuller canopy. It's like topping without topping. This is my first try at it. I've noticed the side branches are responding after only 2 days. Here's a pic of my first day...

I'll try it next time thanks.

I have success without heating the oil and lecithin first. Why heat them first?
