Bending autos

Jackson2959 · Jul 16, 2015

Anybody else bend there autos here? I've grown around 20 autos now and never did any bending with the first 5 or so, then I started to bend and experiment with a few and now I bend every plant I grow. Upped my yield a fair bit.

LST on autos is awesome..yield is like at least 1.5 or 2.5X what it would be in my experience.

Ya doesn't take much at all to increase yields a bit. What works best for me is just bending your main cola over and tying it down then all your lower branches Catch up to the top giving it a bush effect with multiple tops. Tried topping a few also and it doesn't quite work the same as regs

I bend them like this.

And to weeks later they look like this

Double the yield you say, we will see.

It is a sain net for herring. Best thing ever for keeping moose out of your garden. I grow snap peas on the fence that are not doing so well this year they are usually 3 to 4 feet up the fence by now, The snap peas usually get up tall enough to block out all of the fuzz from the Fireweed keeping my buds clean.

makes sense now that it looks like a gill net

..... this was a shit year down here too .... usually if you plant a couple acres of anything you and almost everyone you know is pretty set .... planted 1.5 this year and my garden is the only thing that put out worth a shit ..... last year couldnt get enough rain this year everything drown and rotted .... maybe better luck with the fall stuff fingers crossed

Hi all, I've just planted my first ever auto and like the idea of increasing the yield by LST'ing as i normally do that with some of my taller photo girls.
At what sort of height or how long after planting do you start the bondage with the Auto girls? My girl is only an inch and a half tall at the mo so i guess it's not going to be this week lol...
Many thanks for your thoughts

Yes contrary to popular belief autos are a pretty resilient plant now and very hardy. In the beginning the rude rallies was dominant causing low yield and potency but with the outstanding breeders now that is a thing of the past.... I will put my autos up against MOST growers photos any day. But there are always exceptions and yes a properly grown photo will have higher thc (slightly) and yield more. But it will also take longer. That top plant is a haze that took 80 days

That is a badass auto! What strain is that?

The top pic is a royal haze auto from royal queen seeds, the bottom is a white cheese auto from dinafem. Most all the autos I have seen from those 2 breeders that were grown correctly were very nice plants
