Back on the Auto Trail by Herbitual

Here’s the second Auto Ultimate at 3 weeks.

Loads of lessons learned from the first time around.

1. Topping this strain is easier than LST.

2. Topping has delayed flowering and is allowing more bud sites to form.

3. Definitely keep her under watered. Right saggy cow with too much water.

4. Keep LED as high as possible and let her grow towards it rather than lowering the light.

5. No defoliation apart from trimming a few fan leaves down to allow the light to penetrate.

Obviously, no nutes at all.

Lovely growth rate:

Tell you what, Iron, the two top growth tips were 1mm tall when I topped - that was 1 week ago.

It looks far more than it is, really - the tent is only 1.2m high...but to answer yer question, I've got a sweet spot now that I like...high for seedlings and veg and then just let them flower up to it.

Minimal fannying with distances.

It is further than the recommended spec, so you have to experiment.
