I'm on the autoflower network and they're cloning there. I haven't gotten into the tricks of it or if there are tricks.
I know that I was told to top early so I've been topping at about 2 weeks after germination & it works well. Very
interesting plant. I just harvested 3 auto's.

well the mutation died but the grow is going well other than the massive stretch iv been dealing with. didnt think autos grew this big but they are 48 inches tall now and out grew my 4x4x8 tent iv since moved the light higher but its almost outgrown my basement

i have since defoliated on day 20 of flower and my plants are now 53 inches or 140 cm iv never seen autos stretch so muchEven if you kept the plant healthy and lower leaves thrived, it wouldnt be able to support much and will possibly take energy away from the plant....? Cool none the less though

Hey canadian blazer, about to grow my 1st ever auto. Amnesia haze and a northern lights. (Freebies from my last seed order
) your plants seem to have grown big in a month! Cant quite see in the photos, but looks to me like you just let them go without topping!? If so, then they are nice and branchy for non topped plants . Alot of people say not to top autos to minimise stress. Have you topped an auto before?Is the more even canopy from topping worth it compared to less stress and not topping in your experience???

i just let them grow i didnt top them all i really did was light lst by pulling a few branches out. this is my first auto grow and my first coco dtw grow. im very surprised at how fast these plants have grown. if space isnt a factor in your grow room id say let them just grow naturally but if your like me and have a 4x4x8 tent you will for sure want to top at the 4th node. judging by this grow i will be putting up a scrog net aswell.Hey canadian blazer, about to grow my 1st ever auto.

Thats awesome man! Good structure on those girls.
Haha. Im currently doing my first coco grow as we speak!! And ive just figured out coco is pretty fuckn good! Haha. Plan to grow these two autos using the method i have dialled in, dwc. Just so i can observe how the autos grow (have heard they like slightly lower ppm in their feed)
i grow scrog. And get a pound give or take under a 600 watt hps. using just over a 1m x 1m footprint. Judging by the height and branchyness of your plants your yield will go up considerably if you scrog those bitches imo.
Youll use much more power, but ive used 1000 watters before. They produce alot more heat but the light penetration is amazing! Good for bigger plants when not using scrog. 1 of those in a 4 x 4 tent would kick arse!
Im looking into autos as im planning to keep a couple constantly in veg room (24/0) to utilise wasted space and light.
Im also looking into doing an outdoor auto grow using coco. if the autos work for me then the cost of buying seeds rather than cloning will still be well worth it imo!!
Did you supplement with co2 at all canadian blazer??
