New Grower Baileys second auto grow with northern lights and Royal Queen Seeds Quick one

[Autonugs]

It's too late to top now, just keep leaf tucking and slowly training that top over like you are.... You'll be able to get some nodes up to the top.... This is what I mean, no topping here, leaf tucking and just some LST to pull the nodes out to get light exposure.... Diff plant all together but if you're not worried about height let her reach up.

I have look real close at BF. They do not have many Autos with high THC.

This circles me to an on going question I have. Being 90% Redneck, (long time smoker, new grower) in regards to THC and seeds is, "why would you grow anything that does not have a high THC rating or no THC rating?" My stupid question of the year is "what affect does THC % have on buzz?" What feeds my curiosity is that a lot of Cannabis Cup winners do not have high THC %.

I'm not sure about the other BF strains but the blue cheese auto is 17% they state.
I'm also a long term toker with 18year behind me n I was rubber with it

Make room for me! I'm moving in there too! It will be like a music festival

Sorry, I just caught up on this thread. I'm not getting alerts so I missed a lot. NL is catching up with my girl! I honestly think that I couldn't kill mine if I wanted to right now. I'm half afraid one morning I'll open the tent and she will try and eat me!! This is so much fun doing side by side grows! Yours is looking fantastic! You should be proud!

@Bailey you have the right concept on the LST. I tend to bend her over a little more, but I understand it is your first go at LST. You need to add a support to the bottom to hold the stalk verticle and prevent pulling roots during LST. Hook a pipe cleaner just above where the first seedling leaves formed and run it over to and hook it to the edge of the pot. I find that after a couple hours after pulling the top over, she will limber up more and you can pull her down a little further. You are not only breaking the apical dominance, but opening up the side branches to direct light. I often tie back big fan leaves that are blocking light, because leaf tucking doesn't work well with young plants. Here are a couple pics.

I have a little pattern I use to LST and I will share it here.

Starting when I have four sets of true leaves, I will ponytail my girl for a half day for three days in a row. This is ponytailing:

After the ponytailing, I bend her over as I explained with the support holding the bottom of the stalk straight up/down. I bend her over in the AM, and then let her top go free late PM (My dark period is midnight to 4 AM) and she will straighten back up on her own overnight. Next AM, I reverse the bottom support and pull her over in the opposite direction of the first day. Let top go late PM again and let her straighten. Day 3 turn the bottom support 90 degrees to day two and bend her over until PM. Day 4 swing your support opposite of day 3 and bend her over. I do this cycle twice and my girl is falling out all over. Then I start gradually tieing the side branches out toward the rim of the pot as they stretch. Once the eight lower branches reach the sides of the pot I leave them tied and let them go for the lights.

Sometimes the main cola still outgrows the side branches, I just choose an empty area of the canopy and bend the main over into the empty spot and leave her tied there the rest of the grow.

If things go right, this is what you get.

Hopes this helps, just the way I do it. Take it for what it is worth, works good for me.
