Hell yeah, I’m glad it is doing the job for ya cuz! I’m just doing these(the Sour60) for sale to the dispos. The first ones(AutoXtreme & XtremeX, Pink Panama and Snowryder) will be ‘personal use’ since there isn’t enough to make a decent batch, they were more a kinda experimental run, to see if Autos gave me any problems… There is a batch of Auto Xtreme coming in there in a week and a batch of Auto Maria 2 seeds coming soon. this will be an ‘Auto only’ in the budroom for probably most of the remaining part of the year.
After going into ‘shutdown/close out’ mode, then regrouping into going back to ‘full speed ahead’, the Autos are the only thing to pull me out of the hole now…

use a pencil, they work just fine
break the lead off after you sharpen it down with a knife to get a thinner taper
edit… lol didn’t see the ‘grinder’ part…that works too!

I think you Sir. I talk to much.
What was the name of the soap you where talking about
Safer’s Insecticide Soap… it has nothing that will cause it to fail a lab test for compliance, and the mites cannot build up an immunity to it… there is no immunity to suffocation!

Anyways back on topic, apologies for getting side tracked.
I took a leave of absence from weed for a good many years and came back to it a lil over a year ago. Until then did t even know autos existed.
Was told, dont top, dont train they grow to fast you’ll mess them up. Being the kinda guy that dont like being told I can’t, I’ve done about everything you can do to autos. The only thing I find consistent is there is no consistency at all. Some have taken really well to training, others it just stunts them and they fizzle out. As I’m about to up my plant count and get things moving think ill just be doing some light lst and maybe even none at all. Topping to me just seems to be very inconsistent. Any other opinions out there???

All things being honest, best autos I’ve grown i did an experiment with a mainline but topped at 3rd node to stay ahead of flower. Both plants went 126 days and I didn’t wait on amber. Stupid nice grow but no way I could do that with 40+ plants.
Started like this
Ended with these
not recommended unless just playing around
@cannabliss I’m with ya, seen topping do great things on autos but it just isn’t consistent enough. Kinda thinking I’ll move forward thinking like @JohnnyPotseed I may lst some lower branches to get them out from under the tops and into the light then let them do their thing.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: ALL MY RAMBLINGS ARE JUST 100% MHO

Great advice to give, hard advice to follow sometimes.

If you make jadam wetting agent, it is the same thing, but much, much cheaper. It takes a little time and patience to make, but one batch should hook you up forever.
