I started almost immediately. I mainline it at about 2 weeks and started topping right away. 3 quick tops and lots of LST and I did not keep most fan leaves. Focused on the top of plant and canopy. Lollipoped early and frequent.

Fair play to you looks well

I wasn't too sure at first. Plants took it hard Initially but bounced back incredibly fast. Hours, not days. Of course the outcome is yet to come. We will see how it goes. Sure has defied everything I have heard, at least up to now.

Me too. I've experimented with transplanting and I lollipop them, but I haven't messed with topping and training..mainly out of fear I'll stunt the growth. Looks like you have it down though.

I bought some feminized seeds from a good seed farm and they gave me 2 free seeds. I assumed since I purchased Bruce Banner feminized seeds my free would be the same. I thought this till a few days ago when they started flowering while still in 18-6 light cycle. I would not have done as much training had I known it was an Auto. I guess she looks pretty good.

Looks great!

As a person who went from photos to autos, keep an eye out for overfeeding, autos are generally lighter eaters.

What is your medium? Do you have a veg tent that will allow you to keep it at 18/6 or are you going to flip the tent to 12/12?

Growing in FFOF soil with perlite. Growing in my Grow room. I have dedicated lights for 5 plants. I have some Photos I will be putting into 12/12 pretty soon, so I will probably put this with them.

I grew photos and moved to autos and had a bunch of issues with them (indoors). I've seen others experience similar things to what I went through, and it can initiate about 6 weeks into the grow. As I understanding it, one cause can be that depending on where you live and which contractor FF subs out your local version of their soil to, it might be on the hot side, and apparently over time as it breaks down it just gets hotter. This seems to be OK for most photos but autos can have an issue with that. If you notice some leaf changes coming on (sometimes rapidly) you might want to take steps to bring up the soil ph. Also, autos tend to need much lighter nutes, so it can be easy to overfeed them. It's tempting to hit them hard when they start to flower, but you might try cutting back to 50% of what you give your photos.

Just some thoughts, I'm still really new to growing autos indoors, so I'm mostly repeating what more experienced growers suggested to me.

Thanks for info. I was treating it as a photo and it actually was doing better than my photos. No nute burns or over stressing from training. I think I just got lucky.

One week into flower after intense training on this Auto. To get this many bud sites I probably hurt it. I have no clue. This is first grow I have ever done along with a few Bruce Banner Photos. I did extensive training on them as well. Every day is new to me. Smoked my whole life but never grew. I'm hooked and it's legal for me to grow 5.

Nice, and considering how new to this you are, that's pretty awesome man. I'll be following this. Keep doing what you're doing man, you're doing it good.

I'm brand new and hoping all the gear I ordered shows up by this weekend. I have some Northern Lights autos coming as well and they may very well end up being my first grow.
