Day 42 fast and vast update. I think I have a polyploid bud going on one branch. Once again that white stuff on the leaves is diatomaceous earth that I sprayed on and it never came off of the leaves.

That's a big harvest for an auto to me. Mine have never really weighed much. Itl look like an ounce and weigh an eighth. Iv probably been getting bad genetics. They always finish at under 2ft tall. Iv got high hopes for the two vertigo. They're growing slowly but exceeding the plant mass of the widows and Kushs iv grown in the past. Honestly I'd bet those genetics ov used are for growing like 10+ little plants incog

root space and nutrients are my biggest helpers

The plant is only as big on top as it is underground. Unless it's vetiver grass.

Buds starting to fatten up. If you're wondering that's my forearm behind it

Had to do a partial harvest today ( Auto Acid ) unfortunately mite issue reared up at week 9 .
( Actually Day 69 )
Stunted bud growth and wrecked fan leaves. Killed mites but damage was done.
Most of the NUGS are TRICHE Ready but smaller than I expected.
Chopped top and left MIDS / lower Growth to maybe ripen a bit more.
Autos Don't have " time " to recover from ANY stress : bugs , over feeding , transplanting and other issues. Now I " pretreat " with Azamax but need to STERLIZE my grow tent.

Day 23 red poison. Trying Lst for the first time I don't think I'm doing it right lol. Am I supposed to tie down the side branching also? Anyways here's a pic.

Try and get every top the same height. It's not exactly a matter of having it tied down but having it homogenous in height with an increase of airflow if possible. I tie mine tops down upside down and by the end of the day the branch is S shaped and the top is facing up again. (Just lower)..... I just did this to my two vertigo autos minutes ago. I pulled the side branches outwards and pulled the top upside down. The top is lower than most of the sides as of now but in a day or two it will again be the tallest. I'll do this until it flowers and then take a decision whether I think it should grow freely.

Thanks for the clarification. Most f them are the same height some just facing straight out instead of growing up again. I keep tying the top down but it shoots back up within an hour. Next time I will start sooner because its starting to flower and the stems are getting harder and less flexible.

No they just grow upward so quick is what I meant but I can't really bend it to far down with out breaking the stem.

Best way too do it when I have too actually walk too my plants in a month or so. My photos in smart pots have those binder clips clipped on all around the edges of it so I can tie off on those lol didn't wanna be trying too put holes in a smart pot and have it tear and everything call out
