Autoflower Thread & Resource Guide

[Heshyyyy]

hey got a question, is it possible to FIM , top, or LST a autoflower? if yes to any of those, which would be the most effective.

LST would be my choice.

 

[Heshyyyy]

and even though its an auto, will it slightly increase the yieldd or just keep the plant low and bushy

 

[Bigby]

yeah, but once they are completely dead they fall off on their own.

Some of mine didnt. The ones under the buds as they swelled, they were trapped in after they died. I removed them when examining my plants, if I hadnt then they would have decayed whilst still in contact with the bud.

Id go for lst - im sure a post in the previous couple of pages of this thread describes someone lst'ing an auto flower plant successfully. My reason for suggesting lst over the other two suggestions is that it doesn't actually remove anything, or - if done correctly - damage the plant in any way. Both these things would, in my opinion be bad in a plant with a limited life length.

*edit - found this post from a couple of pages back -

LST your autos, you will be glad you did, the lower branches will jump right up, I noticed a big difference quickly with the under growth. I just picked a spot som what high on the plant and pulled it down, in a few hours they always perk right back up like nothing ever happened.

hahah thanks dude much, my seedlings popped yesterday they are rocklock and sweet dwarf so hopefully everything goes good and they grow strong for LSTing

LST would be the most effective or FIM with SCROG would be an alternative mate

hope it helps

I see, duly noted.

any one got any close up purple jems preharvest pics? ( or lowryders for the green phenos) forgot the date i started em and they look done but theres so many white hairs and it just seems to keep going, + rep

 

[nimbin1]

thanks for filling in bigby that info was spot on. i have noticed that because they are dead they have no immunity to these problems like a live plant would.and with their increased sugar content ffrom being dried out they seem to be a haven for mold spores to incubate. if left unchecked you might just walk in one day to find your best colas have turned to sloppy mush.thats why you should always remove dead leaves.

Yeah Im sure a lot of people do that, its a basic method. The top usually finishes first indoors or outdoors. I know outdoors you can cut your top and let some of the lower growth go several more weeks if weather permits and you can greatly increase your yield by doing so.

rep given, Any one have purple jems close up preharvest shots? mine are nice and fat and looked like theve thickened out but theres only the odd brown hair 80% majority are a lush green however its got mold on various buds and with this english weather the molds only going to get worse, im worried if i dont cut it soon ill lose most of it sorry got no camera to upload pics.

i'd chop! it's better than loosing the whole plant.
i was interested in getting some purple jems myself, what conditions caused the mold? is it outdoors?

 

[Thestinker]

yeh got alot of rain recently in the uk and they are in a greenhouse high humidity i guess, whats worse is before i knew about the mold after the first shitty day i moved a couple under my 400w hps next day i discover the mold and now im ultra para its going to infect my best babys white widow and several cali dream ( none-autos)

 

[upthearsenal]

yeah get rid of them, you don't want to ruin your other plants

maybe having some decent smoke drying will make waiting for the others a bit easier

 

[Thestinker]

think ill have to chop tomarrow morning then, shame really wanted to see the purple jems at her height
+ rep for pj bud shots ( pre harvest if possible)
