Are these autos? I got one mixed in a pack. Would like to watch and listen how your doing things. I got an auto in my photos, back right. See what happens. Topped one photo today. Trimmed single leaf on bottom of stem.

yes, they’re autos. 2 Blue Dream, a Wedding Cheesecake and a Gorilla Cookie.
Grown in 5 gallon soft pots using FFOF amended with perlite and myco. Began seedlings under 600w MH first week. Switched to a 1000w MH for the remainder of veg. Changed over to 1000w HPS at the first sign of flower.
No topping or fimming. Only LST using garden staples and rubber coated wire.
Most growers recommend not topping autos. The feeling is it shocks them, and they need many days to recover. That’s important because autos have a very short window to grow, and any shock could impede their growth and yield.

All blue dream feminized photos. Topped one.
Bonus auto. (Top right) have not topped will not top. She’s in flower. Just removed a small node from the very bottom of the plant. Crazy. But she’s definitely in flower. Won’t change cycles bc she’s the bonus. She’s going to flower when she wants. I read. Any light schedule. 
running 18/6 to veg the photos. Then she will go through a 12/12 when I decide to flip the others if she takes that long Im green. Looking forward to seeing more dream grows and questions and methods of everything.

You will loose some of the yield of your one auto plant when and if it is flipped with the photos. Blue dream auto is usually done in 8-9 weeks with a 18/6 light schedule. Yours are looking good.

Right on. I’m hoping with the correct ppfd and my nodes getting tighter again that I can just keep topping the photos. Keep them in veg till I harvest the auto. See what happens. Starting some serious LST on the photos today. Got another one topped last night. They all took 16oz of molasses and LS this morning. I’ll wait till Sunday and do a runoff to see what those numbers come back as. See if she needs to be fed with some stuff.

I just went through the same scenario. I srarted a photo with some time left on my autos running 18/6. Topped and training my photo and now my autos just harvested. Getting close now, with the autos out of the way, i can flip my photo whenever. Im shooting for a big girl so im keeping her in veg a little longer. Sounds like you’re on the right track to pull it off. Just hope your photo girls don’t get too big and need to be flipped before your auto is done. How far along, in flowering, is your auto?

Tag me ill follow your journal
Starting one is the best way on here for everyone to follow along and keeps all your stuff together. The formatted journal i think is phasing out but if you go under show your grow and title the thread milkmans grow or something everyone can visit it easier.
