Auto topping thread,pushing the auto limits;)

Good day growers im a master photo and auto grower.but my passion is with autoflower seeds.i been on a mission for 5 years growing now trying diffrent methods of training on autos to see what they truly behold.truth is autos aint no diffrent to a normal plant other than they flower on there own.u can top lst supercrop and defol autos with monster results if done at the correct time.oviously every plant is diffrent so always use the seed info as a rough guide and a short plant can yield just as much as a tall plant in this thread i will show u all along the way of the true limits of autos and there true potential as i grow them for u all to see.also if ur an auto grower who likes to push the limits,do speak up and all pics of ur autos and talk and all questions welcome on pushing the auto limits.here a few examples of the results achived topping an auto young followed by later lst.few heavy defols along the way ,gives u an army of dominant colas and a big heavy yield.and a beautiful plant.here is automazar topped and lstd

What day do your plants normally flower when you top? I'm day 30 still no flowering.

Day 45

Stretch has pretty much stopped and she's budding up nicely. She is on around 1ml grow, 3ml bloom and 1.5ish ml magne cal per 1.5l 2/3 times a week and just water in-between sometimes with a small dose of magne cal.

Only 4 weeks till breeders finish date. Do you think she'll finish at 70 days?

Interested to see your opinions on how she's doing.

She looks sweet mate. Somethings off a little with your feeds though. You ph'ing it and checking the run off? Got a wee bit lock out by the look of it.

Hey man, how can you tell? What specifically do you notice on the pics that lead you to that conclusion?

See how the leaves are dark in bits, lighter I'm others. Could be a bit hungry for something but always best to check the ph first. If the ph is off then certain nutrients get locked out. She's sound like, just best to fix things sooner so they don't lead to anything else.

Thanks man, I now see exactly what's drawn you attention, especially on the close up pics.

Yeah man, it's easy enough to read plants like. If you keep the ph sound then you shouldn't ever need to know how.
As some general guidelines though.
Tops go yellow up the micro nutes.
Bottoms go yellow up the Base nutes.
Leaves go dark green drop the Base nutes.
If you get any wierd symptoms that don't seem to be just one of those things, or if the leaves go twisty then it's usually the ph at fault.
Even though you ph the nutes going in you've still gotta check the run off cos that tells you what ph the pot is and that's what's important.

Would you suggest upping the micro nutes on these two?

They are only on their 2nd week on nutrients.

Last week was 1 teaspoon of molasses, 2ml of biobizz grow and 1ml of calmag per litre of water.

This week has been the same without the molasses. Feeding alternately with plain bubbled water.

They are in biobizz light soil.

So far I have completely ignored the PH, and haven't watered either till run off

Thoughts and opinions?

Cheers,

In my experience, I've found that it varies with strain. My gorilla glues were perfect after topping and training, my northern lights (look at my avatar) went 20 days longer than breeder specs, And my blackberries went to a "perfect" 75-80 days, with no delay in anything.
If you've got good genetics going, It shouldn't add much delay.
