You also don't want to super crop top or fim them. Lst only with autos. Not trying to sound like a a hole but trying to help you out. A lot of people hate autos because they don't know how sensitive they are and end up with low yields. Don't over water start the nutes very low and a little lst will do wonders.

Yep, I agree with all this sh*t from experience, lol.

Alright so my stunted lady got kinda plump in the end and has looked ready for the chop for around a week now, so, chop, chop, chop.

This is at 5 weeks of flowering.

I'm gonna slow dry the whole plant, minus the root which will take 10-14 days and then do a taste test/report.

I was just looking at some seeds for these. Tried the smoke yet? Breeder claims it to be medicinal
[FONT=&amp]Yeah, a piece broke off so I dried it and smoked it.

I can't remember what it was like but I do remember that I was happy with it.

I will do a smoke report by the mid part of next week, I'm doing a slow dry of the whole plant so it takes a bit longer.[/FONT]

So you recomend all of the above for Auto's?

not in every situation and not for every grower
but its a little biased to say that you cant do it
when in fact it has been done many times
i have use for topping and super cropping
some one with more vertical room may have no purpose for it at all

Yeah, the thing that people need to be mindful of with Auto's is they (unlike a normal cannabis seed) have almost a set amount of days to maturity once they are germinated.

So if cutting the plant retards growth for lets say 3 days and you cut it twice at separate times, you may have lost the better part of a weeks growth.

I think that is why caution is urged with Auto's with regard to cutting.

So I guess that's the other side of the coin/argument.

Well, good to have different experiences/observations thrown into the pot.

From my experience of cuting them, I'll just let them grow now, when I get another freebie.

Hey guys, my bad I haven't posted anything on here in a while, but I had some recent family issues I had to take care of. Due to this event my funds were cut drastically short and I was no longer able to afford my facility... I had to pull the plug. This has been very depressing for myself, as I was really impressed at the way theses NL x BB were turning out. I do plan to run this strain again in the near future, just have to save up some $$ first lol. Please feel free to keep posting the NL x BB pics, as I'm still very interested in seeing the end result of this plant. Peace out friends... grow on! bongsmilie

Damn it, this is a most unfortunate turn of events.

But family comes first brother.

You will live to grow another day.

And by the way, what you doing at my momma’s house?

She turned that bitch into a care home for the elderly years ago.

It’s doing well, even in the economic down turn.

So, what you doing there, are you the new gardener?

Yikes.

Fear not, I shall still post up a smoke report, in the hope that offers up some small comfort in this dark hour.

Farewell my friend farewell.
