Indoor Super cropping one of my autos.

[Ghost]

I know people say its not a good idea to super crop autos. But I have always been a firm believer in going against the grain, against the norm. Falling and getting myself back up. I have went against things such as transplanting autos. I have transplanted 4 autos in my short time learning to grow. The first time i transplanted, it was was in mid flower. Fat buds and all. No harm ever came to any of my autos from transplanting.

I even grow my flowers without run-off in veg or flower. And everyone says you have to have run-off . I grew 3 photo plants 6 weeks veg, 10 weeks and 11.5 weeks flower. No run off and the meds are fantastic. Ph perfect nutrients Works great for my set up. My autos dont get run- off either. I only water until the pots have weight. No wasting nutrients that's how I look at it. Okay let me clear this up by saying my plants only get run off last 2 weeks during flush.

Not saying try it this way or that way. What works for me might not work for you. And vice versa. Well i decided to go against the grain again and super crop the shit out of the CH9 Climax autoflower. This is just an experiment.

She was super cropped even her main stem as you can see. She was than given the following per one gallon milk jug. 6ml Connoisseur A and 6ml Connoisseur B, 4ml B-52, 1ml superthrive, 3ml Dyna-Gro Pro Tekt, and 4ml voodoo juice and than put out of the direct light and blowing fan.

Here is a picture of her before and a few after. I will also show pictures of her tomorrow to see how she looks. I myself was amazed at the vigor of this little lady. thats why she was chosen for this. I figured she grows like nobody's business, So I figured if any auto could pull it off this one could.

Sorry for the long read but, that's what smoking a fatty of Chemdawg by HSO does for me.

Well here is a few pictures as planned. She looks great this morning. She seems to have enjoyed or at least be okay with yesterday. She is healthy looking as you can see she looks great this morning. I am not sure if she will be okay but she looks as such. Well i have to head off to work, I hope everyone has a blessed day. I will update photos of her to show her progress, over the next few days to see how she comes along.

Here is the Climax autoflower that was super cropped. As you can see she is growing lovely. The main stem has been super crooped again as you see. I took extra care to bend the main stem in half without breaking her. The re-crop took place 2 days after the first time. I was not satisfied with her height still. So the main stem and all branches were done over.

She didn't mind it at all. The next morning I checked on the girls her top and branches were reaching to the light. Here she is looking great. Remember what works for me might not work for you. Also the fact she is very vigorous helped more than my extra care.

Another look at the super-cropped Climax Autoflower. She was given bloom nutrients today. She started flowering a few day ago so I decided that she should get bloom nutrients to try to keep her from growing anymore and concentrate on building buds.

Looking good. Next time, do a side by side. One plant super cropped, one not. In the end I think you'll find the super cropped will take longer to finish and the yield from the two will be about the same. That's the main reason topping of autos isn't recommended. Nothing is really gained.

On the run off, the first time you get nutrient lockout from salt buildup in the soil you'll understand why a bit of run off is always recommended.

The first maybe 15 autos I ever grew, all had run-off every watering and feeding. It just seemed like I was wasting nutrients down the drain literally.
