You are telling me to chop off the main cola ? Are you crazy? She is an auto won’t that totally stress her out and kill her?

Nono, crop it. bend it to the side a bit! Like on a a 45 to 90 degree angle.
Search for “super cropping” in the forums; there are many links to this technique.

In doing so I did notice that the top most buds seems to be getting thinner (maybe because she seems to be stretching still… while some of the mid canopy is actually thickening which is a good sign… and my fingers are sticky and sweet smelling

I extended my flowering and I’m now on day 36/45. I have since bent the two tallest branches as they were touching the light about a week ago(Might have snapped one branch in the process.). But now I can see she is still stretching as the middle canopy is getting higher). Also she doesn’t seem to be thickening up. Only a couple mid canopy buds show any thickening… what are your thoughts?
Attaching more pics from this morning.

How many times did you top her?
I didn’t top her…
She is very full!
But not thickening up in the buds
It could be the strain! I tried cheese (seedsman) twice and didnt get past germination, mine wasnt an auto though.
I’m on day 26 flower with a different strain and it hasn’t thickened yet. Usually the last two weeks of flower youll see the most thickning.

Depends on if you want to try to fatten up your buds and what type of an effect you were looking forward to experiencing in your harvesting.
Uplifting & energetic or calm & uphoric?
Did you take samples from the top, middle and bottom of your trichomes to see how much of the plant is mostly cloudy?
I would say your just at trichomes half clear/cloudy…

Urgent. I extended my flowering to 52 days… and it just dawned on me that I didn’t get my weekly change water notification… I just checked and the water is almost empty… should I do a manual water change or is this expected… on day 40/52 of flower. I know the servers were down earlier this week don’t know if that’s a problem… can’t wait for grobo support… scared lol

I’d say do a drain/fill get some fresh nutes in - don’t just do the fill alone.
How’s she looking? Did the leaves start to sag or anything?

No worries my friend! Just remember that if you extend your grow your notifications will run out because the machine will think that the recipe has been completed.
Just do a drain and fill on the day you normally would from now on!

She looks the same as she always did… gave her a change. If the machine thinks the recipe has run out, how will it know what nutrients to give it today vs in a week when it’s in flush?

No nutrients are needed or dispersed in the flush stage hince the reason its called flush.
You want to rid the plant of all nutrients and additives to make the smoke more smoove without the harshness of anything being left in the plant so we flush with water only or an additive like flawless flush to get everything out and make the taste more crisp.
