size of pots yoiu are using -- have just finished a auto with a 3 gallon

With this last crop I had 2 and 1.5 gallon hard plastic containers filled with Grodan Grow chunks and the coco plants are in cheap 2 gallon plastic grow bags that are filled to about 70% with Cloud Coir coco/ perlite mix. The rest of the plants are growing in rock wool blocks or slabs. All of them were originally started in 4x4” Grodan cubes then placed on their final containers/slabs after roots grew out of the bottom of the cubes. This was a little comparison I was doing with different substrates to see how big the plants would grow in different mediums.

Great thread and explanation @Born slippy





Thanks for putting this together, and all contributors to this thread (growtogrow, 420autoflower, mattymatt, and all others who uploaded photos and explanations)

I've put some thread marks in so people can find the Schwazz they're looking for. (for me it was soil - thinking this may be a hydro only training method)

@Eggboy - let me know how you get on! - you've got the most similar setup to me

Hey @blue, here's a few update pics now on day 70 and I reckon the chop is coming this weekend. Topping and schwazzing were both new to me this grow but seem to have done the job. I must admit I did question the schwazzing after doing it - it looks so drastic - but literally a few days stall and they're back to producing (smaller) leaf. The buds look and feel tight but I guess the scales and the vape will tell the final story in a few weeks...

what a great grow - believe it's the biggest auto plant I have ever seen ----MAN autos' have become something else - great yields -- thinking of 3 gallon for autos so I can run more strains 6 vs 3, butplants might not be a bug -- but ran and Ethos auto got 3 oz fro a 70day plant !!

I took away the top 2 and the 2 below that to let the light get in.
Got the why did I do this feeling now lol but its done now.
Never removed them this early before but pistols are showing on them all and they growing fast so thought why not.
Want to get LST on the go ASAP This should hopefully be a benifit as to get equal growth on the side branches.
I'd normally remove them 1 at a time but wanted to try a different approach.
But i did notice, that what ever fan gets removed first then that branch that's under it grows abit taller than the rest lol
@420autoflower when do you think I should do my first proper Schwazz on them?

Not for awhile brother…. looks like everything is getting a good amount of light and airflow already. I would wait until the second week of flower to do a heavy defoliation or a full scwhazz, then again around the fourth week of flower. After that your plants should be slowing down on leaf production and putting more energy into bud growth.

My latest. My Jeanos RBF. This was more out of necessity than anything else. She’s a big girl and there isn’t enough room for her and the 2 in the back.

Wasn’t planning on doing any gardening over the weekend but these 3 Beaver Genetics testers really needed some attention. Been having high humidity issues in the tents they are in and didn’t want to risk waiting any longer. The R/H immediately dropped over 20% in each tent after the plants received their first schwazz.
