Hi everyone,
I want to share with you guys my experiment with DP AutoX with a High stress training technique called main-lining and it requires more veg time than usual. The idea is to top it and to leave only two side-by-side branches, let them grow a bit and top these two branches. That way you get four even tops and repeat that for 8, 16 etc. even tops. That way the root system can evenly distribute the food to the plant. Ofcource the more tops the more time for veg it takes. I've found this in a different forum and because I've seen people asking about topping autos and not getting any definite answer I've decided to try it myself. I chose AutoX because it shows us that is a monster plant. I chose GN light because it shows us that can creat a monster plant.

So I've set up in a
10l air-pot
bio bizz all-mix
bio bizz grow bloom alga topmax
GN Ms0006

and so here's what's happend:
:D

Started with 125 Dual CFL

I let it grow untill the 5th nod and cut it right above the third...I also topped the two nods, so it started to grow 4 already

I am happy with what I have. It's a great smoke.

So yeah in my amateur opinion an Auto can be topped and still produse nice results.

Appologies for the quality of the pics

+ Rep :slap:

Nicely played man!
 
Ohhhhhhh SNAP! Yep gonna do it!:slap:
 
Love it dude when I started reading I thought there is no way an auto is going to like being chopped about like that but the chunk on her and 99gees is unreal.....amazing stuff bro.
 
Yeah man,bravo :group: she took some hammer,and still recovered and was done in 85 days.nicely done mate & thanks for sharing :smokebuds:
 
Amazing work man, I saw another thread on here someone attempted a similar job based on a picture they saw oh a photoperiod plant. I'm shocked and happy to discover you managed to harvest it as the other didn't exactly go to plan, top job - hope to try something similar once I'm more experienced :peace:
 
Great grow!!!!

How long did u let cure?
 
great grow and report!

At Dutch Passion we always like to see the unconventional approach tried. We have seen a few people top auto's, and I have seen some impressive results with it. As you say there is that little bit of a balance to make with the time loss. But maybe that time loss is not as significant as we all think
 
Looks great, nice full buds and 99g is very respectable from one plant almost 4 zips. +REP thanks!!!

Cheers dude, that comming from you means a lot. I had to "quote" many things of what you have showig us in my grow. Thanks again.

Yeah man,bravo :group: she took some hammer,and still recovered and was done in 85 days.nicely done mate & thanks for sharing :smokebuds:

Yeah it was shoking for her for sure, but she recovered so fast and grew so fearsly i had to trim down some smaller side branches, because i wanted only 4 main colas...but at the end i gave up befor her and she reworded me with 4 main and 8 smaller.
