I have looked at Sir. Herbal's work as a micro grower and I've totally been influenced/re-inspired by his methods. I always had a fascination for the way you can train a willow tree (or any other tree but it's easier with the willows) to the point where one can make furniture and sculptural shapes AS it grows. Again having patients and dedication is crucial! ... but really , we need that kind of experiences and attitude towards all growing/living things.
In my previous grow I've been experimental and Stressed an Auto twice (4th nod and then each 2nd nod) and then applied the Low Stress Technique (I'm not sure what the technique is called but instead of cutting, you PRESS the leaves together - creating a thin paint brush shape - The energy goes into the sides BUT the tops recover and form multiple tops) ... which IS NOT recommended by experienced growers!!! DO NOT FOLLOW MY ADVISE UNLESS YOU'RE EXPERIENCED.

LST is low stress training. Its where you tie branches down to create an even canopy resulting in multiple lower budsites to turn into additional "tops". There are alot of threads here about it. From multiple threads ive read here I wouldnt suggest stressing auto's. Could cause some stunting issues, and any time lost during veg/bloom is a decrease in yield by the end. And welcome to AFN!

"some stunting issue" from brother UrbanFarmer. What does it mean? ( If I was an I.T. technician, I would be the guy that says:"Did you turn the computer ON.") And also there is a name for the thin pencil shape .. thing.

But thank you for partaking in my adventure! I share more when people care more!

all Love, peace and lalala ♫

Ooooh what a sad day ... returned from 3 days away. I don't think they will recover . . .

Not so proud of myself ... but seen the low quality of my doing , they have recovered well. I always find it annoying when gardeners only show their best results ... soooo i guess i will have to show my little bad doings.
I'm a bit busy at the moment but i will put up a few pics soon. They are very late due to the recovery (i suppose) , i regret not taking a pic when they were damaged, just to show how resilient they are. Miss A: got a better recovery , Miss B: was surprising enough but Miss C (aka Miss Hope): Has left me stupefied, I have to keep her just out of respect for her outstanding will to live. I think she has forgiven me and still wants me to forgive myself
Thanks Herbal!
