That's never been my experience. I've seen them happen to flip themselves at the same time the grower did, but I've never seen one forced into flower before it's ready.

Well I had 2 batches of autos growing. one group showed sex and turned at 3-4 weeks the other didn't. Not having the space to have one group in flower and the other in veg so I flipped them all 3 days later they showed sex and I culled the males out. They all finished together....I'd say I flipped them...It could have been a coincidence I suppose but they flipped like photo's. I can't run my 1000w 18hrs/day...just too expensive so I flower them on 12/12 same as photo's.

I'm fairly new to auto's but I think the reason auto's don't usually get topped is because of their short veg period. topping shocks them and slows down their vertical growth. The same as the re-pot talk we had..... shock. with a 5-6 week veg period they have no time for shock recovery. Once they turn or you turn them ( you can flip auto's by going 12/12 ) the side shoots will take off and the branches will appear. I've not seen auto's topped...yours must be ready to flip soon....I'd like to see how she does.

The matanuska started flowering before 3 weeks old. The gorilla glue takes a bit longer to start, at about 5 or 6 weeks. But the buds grow fast, so end time is about the same.

This GG auto is 24 days old today.

trim? why? there is no bud site that is not exposed and all within an inch of the same height. i find less is more when molesting autos. just a pick and pluck then pull off yellow leaves as they flower. i grow organic, just water and i dont really molest the plants. i add no nutes and ph nothing. just water and watch. my attention is mostly on their environment. so no trimming or up potting, just plant, and water.

the first two pics are the gg, it is topped (and if you look closely youll see i got a bit of the leaf next to it too!) it was bushy and full. i pinched it and took 4 fan leaves off.

the other two are mantanuska, they flower sooner than gg. they are 24 days old too, and in flower trying to stretch! i took 4 leaves from each of them, but they flower way too fast to top!

Found the problem today. Told my Son I wanted to empty the catch pans.

I went to move the plant. Found I couldn’t because of water. I knew I was over watering them couple weeks ago and cut way back on water but what I was went right through. So not going to water them for couple days.

Budding just fine we shall see.

Ok my Son pruned bunch of Fan Leaves off, didn’t kill them and they started branching with many Buds.

I think I was just Over Watering.

Thanks!

Yeah, Watering messes with a lot of people. This is how we do it.

Watering for Soil Growers Only

Watering in Soil Watering plants gives many new growers anxiety issues. Because we want our plants to do the best they can, we over water and some even underwater. To help relieve the stress and confusion, this is sort of a step by step of what to do and look for when you grow in soil...

HOW TO WATER COCO FOR BEST RESULTS.

Yup, already have an air pump and two stones ready to go. Any way to prevent ph drift? I have a ph probe that will be hanging in the res 24/7, so I'll always know what it is. I'm guessing just keep an eye on it and adjust as necessary?

This thread might be useful to review also. Water tables and lot of other good information is explained in this thread to great detail.

Got some Photos that are branching. Got some Autos just the opposite one straight stem. Does all the Buds come out on one stem?

One reason I’m asking is I’m thinking of just putting a stake in and tying on to that.

I do photos but this is a little project of my wife's outside. Here is a Gorilla Glue 4 and a Zkittlez. GG on left. Planted 5/2/21 in a 20 gallon planter. I think this photo was at 50 days. Kinda hard to see good with all the green around it. Has one long center cola and I believe 4 small side branches bearing bud. No topping trimming etc. Since this was her first ever grow and she refuses all help I cant tell you any more about it other than get within 10 feet of it and you can dang sure smell it. Touch it and it sticks to your finger. Nice little plant.
