being in a small pot and only using organic how would you go about flushing ?
also is it worth re potting my photos in slightly bigger pots when the auto is done as they have been in there a while ?
many thanks

Great first run for autos. I recently ran a tent full and learned so much about this type of plant and about this strain.
Mine is a Apple Fritter Auto. Being a first time auto I tried to train it like a photo pulling the stems in a direction but the stretch was over too quick and stranded my main runs out in space.
This run I have had outstanding luck with just tieing down the side stems until they clear the edge of the 5 gallon pot then let them turn up. Also I did not top one and I had the other one get topped in a tragic way to high to have the tent open moment.

The do not up pot an auto was a hard lesson I am sure. My lesson was do not buy a bag of gnants with some dirt in it just freaking wait for your soil mix or companion plant the extra seedling and move it later but real young.
Here is how they grow just tieing down.
Topped at node 6 and natural.

thank you was a test run to make sure my main crop didnt get mold
fell in love with her so up potted ( had to do that 2 times as she didnt like the pure batmix ) never again will do in a bigger pot from the start , unfortunatly just been to busy to sort a mother room for the photos , might re veg but doubt it
next run think will do better i prefere to defoil the leave`s to let underneath growth and stay away from the kinky stuff , would happily put another one or two auto in while vegging photos when i have to start again , would put them in about a 3 weeks before hand
thanks for stopping by happy growing

Hehe, had no clue that was a thing. You can try editing your posts instead.

Usually do something like this.

forgot to mention now Ive learnt the climate control think i can grow some wonderful flowers indoors , proof will be in the pudding when its dried and cured , be a while yet but was thinking grove bags give them a try on the auto if work for me bonus , if not use tried and tested jars

for the return it looks like im gonna get could get 6 easy maybe even ten plants in my space if i re pot , when barneys do that buy 3 get 3 free im on it for next run just to experment , might even try to re veg the lsd , yeah think i will give that ago

may i ask? when I germinate i use a light solution of Nitrozyme with water in a shot glass let the seed sink and put it in potting soil with the glass water have 99% success even with very old seeds , the soil i use would be to much for the seedling ? how do you get around that ?
many thanks

how does it compare to growing outdoors
Click to expand...
has been raining nonstop , dont miss that thats for sure ,
gooseberry not so great but still tasty , blackberrys why not they are loving it should get decent out of her have many bud sites and still has flowering for more , not too bad out of a pot abeit the blackberry does root into the earth and have dig it out each year to keep it small still a baby at 6 years old
do love outdoors but now thinking indoors could be better as its more controlled
