Id be afraid of branches breaking

They only started sagging in the past week. The branches are pretty limber and even if they do break, I’ll just hang 'em up to dry. That one is ready now.

holy shit, what size pot is that in and counting nodes how close to the cola tops did you take lollipopping and did you defoliate the fan leaves from the upper areas?

That is a 3 gal fabric planter with a kitchen sink mix of used soil, plain dirt, compost, manure, peat, perlite,etc…It is seed from mostly unknown strain (purple something) that self pollinated. Topped once at the 6th node for 12 main branches. Generally, I will defoliate the lower 1/3 of the plant and thin out the middle if necessary. May give up 3 ounces or so of finished bud.
This is it about 5 weeks old.

Not really. Mine tend to look like :poop:at the end and I cut away dead/damaged leaves.

Man i can relate to that pic.

obviously that’s a photoperiod plant but how tall is it and do you typically require those frames to support an autoflower?
How close to harvest of your current plant are you when you pop some seeds for the next grow assuming you’re not drying in the same grow space?

I don’t use a frame/screen on my autos. They just don’t grow tall enough and I don’t lack for head room for them to grow. I also do like how the screen seems to keep me from my girls. I like to move them, spin them, look them over top to bottom and have up-close-and-personal conversations with them. :upside_down_face:

I do as well. And, I have to roll them all around every watering so they get different light and can make new friends with the other girls.
