I haven't popped my autos just yet but i'm letting them get about 5 nodes before I tie them down.

She’s about there. I think Sunday I’ll be on the money

I don't see why the wait. People start at 3 nodes and do fine.

You brought her back nicely from a tough start. Well done. I'm with @MATTYMATT726. I get after my autos early, but it's all grower preference.

It kind of seems opposite of what you want by doing LST. If topping sure you got to wait, but training does no hurt to the plant so not really a benifit to wait. The earlier you train, the easier it is.

Good to know. I’m an LST virgin so naturally I’m overthinking it haha. I’ll get her tied up sooner then. Thank you guys. I’m glad she came back strong too. Keep the swan going

Tie her down and just keep on it.

A little more this morning. Before and after. Have a happy Saturday 
You are totally right about doing it while their young it’s like bending a piece of rubber vs snapping sticks

Looks good I would suggest having a support on the stem by the soil going in the opposite direction from the lst. It just helps support it vs leaning over and possibly pulling on roots.

Thank you. The first tie I put down was around the base of the stem holding it down in the opposite direction that I started tying down for that exact reasonLooks good
. It’s just hard to see cause I covered up that stem area with a light coat of dirt to protect it from light burn. And the pipe cleaners are brown so they blend in haha

Day 39 out of soil. I feel like I’ve gotten pretty lucky with this plant. I’m glad it didn’t start flowering while it was all small and weird looking. I’m wondering if there’s a possibility I got a photo period again instead of it being an auto.

This is all the info they give. I popped one and planted it for my papa and it started flowering at 20 days or so. I guess 1 out of the 3 seeds I bought are doing as advertised. I’ll let this one go a few more weeks and then switch the light schedule if nothing happens. Fingers crossed it’s a girl.

Man I went to look for my Mephisto seeds that I bought like 7 months ago and my wife says she “May” have thrown them away if they were just in an envelope
. Panic this morning as I couldn’t find them. She’s going to do a search and rescue mission today. Most likely I’ll be having to buy some new seeds. Kinda bummed. But that’s life. Any strains other than the hubbabubba you would recommend? I grow for my wife and she’s been into sativas lately.
