Wow!Some breeders are introducing long flowering Sativa's into the Auto world, now these I'd maybe top, I have one that goes 90 days but have not tried her as of yet.
F.I.M. cutting I wait to see how the plant looks to me a few weeks into flowering.. I only do it if I need to slow down upward growth and improve growth of lower branches.. all of this stuff is not only strain dependent but also pheno.. but it works quite well... pretty cool as it is a technique found by accident and stands for..
Fu_k I Missed. lol.
LST = Low Stress Training and there are so many different ways to do it.. I used to put small holes thru the top of my pots and use fishing line to pull the branches outward away from the plant to get more light to it.. worked quite well.. find what works well for you though, curious to see what Midway is up to in his training.. we all learn from one another here, purdy darn cool huh?
Here's a strain I created called Sniper.. AK47 x Sour60 taken to F2 then pollinated with Assassin F2 and have now taken Sniper to F3 Auto.. It's getting quite the following at another site.

It's always easier to fill with more plants, and trim to fit. I'm running single plants in the flower tent. It's a 2'x4'x7'. I don't have much room either.I'd definitely try to grow some photos at some point..! Would be good for experimenting with advanced techniques like topping and FIMing...
And wow, 150g per plant for an auto is amazing!
My cab is quite small unfortunately so I can only fit 4 mid-size autos in there. I could probably have 2 small photos in there I suppose, or 1 mid-size photo. I like variety though, so having at least 2 different strains would be better :)
What's the best way to have a higher yield with photos? Having a single plant but that is given some more space to expand horizontally, or having 2 smaller plants? Also, could I try some SOG as my cab is small?
Thank you!
Peace,
Yea it really depends on strain and size. On the bigger slower autos there's not much difference than a photo, only difference being the light schedule.Hello! I'm really not an expert but I just recently lollipopped and strongly pruned two autos I had going. Ok, it's not exactly about topping but still I feel like my plants were a bit stunted after I did it. They recovered pretty well after a week but I'm under the impression it will take a bit longer for them to finish so... wondering if that was worth the trouble. As 95% posts I read do say: do not touch them! .. I won't touch autos anymore but it's like always: every grower has his ways and what's not working out for me (lots of things do not work out for me...lol!) could be working out just fine for others so... depends on the strain as well I'd say. I had super skunks, they're said to be tough maybe that's why it was 'ok' to touch them..but you never know I guess... Good luck anyways mate!

Peace,
I'm only 5 years into growing and autos but this is all spot on from what I've experienced. I do what ever I need to do training, cropping, topping to keep the canopy even. Still haven't scrogged an auto but plan to soon.
Yea, I've never grown in dirt, I Started with hydro and following hygro hydro on you tube. He's scroging 1 plant per 4x4 net and in huge buckets under it's own 600w hps for flower he was in the pounder class per plant when I started and with in a year was getting 700g dry off a plant. He charges to watch his channel nowThanks Jay, I'm just hooked on these new Autos called the Next Generation after they got away from Lowryder 1 as the base breeder.. Things are really exploding and I might just buy seeds for the first time ever.. lol. Dinafem has my eye right now.. SCROG might be tuff but I am watching a guy at another site who does use a screen method to feed the budsites thru to spread them out and is having awesome luck.. He just harvested 6oz off one plant and his goal is a pound.. I know right? crazy..
Just started some babies myself but takes me 6 females to pull in 6-8zips... hopefully these new felt pots will improve things a bit... cheers.
He vegges for ever and does what he calls "monster" cropping. Topping, super cropping, and lollipopping. Looks like he's trying to kill the plant before he puts the screen over it. Talking a good 16 to 18 weeks total. And big buckets and big res. He used flora nova and a couple boosters.Wow.... makes ya think huh? wtf am I doing wrong. Ya know, I've done a few single SCROG grows and can easily picture what he's doing.. takes the right strain and lots of pruning and he's gotta top the plant a few times I'd imagine to get more bud sites.. still, be kewl to see...
When I started I heavily trimmed/lollipop but I was running 4 or more plants in a 4x4 with a 600 hps. But since I've started growing again, and under a 2x4 t5 from start to finish in haven't been so aggressive. Ive been running one at a time and have been talked into less is better when it comes to pruning. I think I had better results when I was aggressive. And this next dinafem og autoflower will be topped and trimmed. I have a diary I just started.Yeah, my problem is I never have enough extra weed lying around to take all that veg time like that... I also removed anything below the screen as once the canopy fills out light really cannot penetrate below it so it's wasted plant energy trying to keep it going.
Lollipopping is a great way to get the plant to concentrate it's energies on bud development and it's all about proper timing and practice.. Supercropping has been argued exactly what it means.. in Soma's grow book he refers to it as pinching the stems of each shoot below the buds and causes everything above the pinch to blow the f up... I still do that on every plant.
I've even gone as far as bending the main shoot over, sometimes breaking the stems, man the 1st time I almost cried thinking I just ruined a 4mos old fat ass bud... but, I kept it at 90 degrees and supported it and it grew a knot at the bend and while it repaired the knot everything else caught up to it... so I kept bending plants to control height.... these things are tougher then we thnk..... lol
There you go!I'm always down to try good genetics
