Had to go back and read through this awesome thread so Hazy get ready for a shit load of likes bro this was truly awesome and Hazy my friend you have some balls to break over a plant like that but one never knows unless you try right. I have been wanting to try this also but was always afraid to but now that I saw you take a chance then I will be doing this also. I to have did this to photo plants but didn't think Auto's would fair to well.
Great job Hazy a true Master at this growing game.
Thanks jayp... I'm now coming round to the idea that because of the rudy genes ( a very hardy Russian plant ). DP autos in my opinion are tougher than any photo plant, that i've ever trained. I mean in the last BAM grow i snapped the main stem(by accident this time) right through to the central hollow core of the plant, i did nothing, just left it... see below
and that brings me to why i snapped the TD in this grow...you see i want to train them along cane but there is always the chance as seen in the picture they will break, so i wanted to see if it was possible to just let them grow up to the cane and then snap the stem and just lay it flat along the cane, it now looks more than possible. so that's the plan for the next grow.
I'm also going to try this(another accident) This was the AutoXtreme i grew out, while in mid stretch i managed to pull a branch almost clean out of the main stem... i tied it back in place and ended up with a branch twice as thick as the others.. so i propose to tear the side branches on a selected plant in the next grow.
Looks like i'll be snapping me some branches next time lol, for now though I've tied her main cola down at 90�, wasn't man enough to go breaking her neck lol
How far along was that 1 into her flowering cycle when you snapped her cuz I'm still tempted, but at 50 days with a possible (yet to be confirmed by someone) phosphorus deficiency I'm not sure if I should risk it.
If you have managed to tie it down..then i would be happy at that..:group:
