@Fastapp69,

@Fastapp69

Are you suggesting I can do it well into flowering? {}:

@OrionsCeiling

I like to use metal hooks in the Grobo with some gardening wire. {}:

@Time2grow

I would extend flower a few more weeks and you might have too super crop and bent those colas to stop the burn {}:

@QueenoftheGreen,

@QueenoftheGreen

So why do some of the buds not have the white hairs and others do

@SilverGrobo Awesome thanks so much!!

Day 76 Flowering Day 9/37… I can’t wait any longer it’s like I’m a little kid at Christmas !! 🪴:cherry_blossom:

[DeeDub]

Nice…I’ll be watching your grow. I started a BDA hydroponic in tent on 2/14 so I am a bit behind you. Mine seems really short & bushy. Waiting for her to stretch up a bit so I can decide whether to trim stuff from the bottom before she hits flower stage.

[Fastapp69]

Blue Dream Fem not auto. Last day of late veg and I extended. Was disappointed in the height

Day 1 of flower getting taller

Day 15 of flower oops kinda tall

Day 34 need a taller Grobo

Day 36 stuff is burning at the top

Almost flush time. Lesson for me don’t extend. But it took 13 days and 2 seeds to germinate. At the time I didn’t know how to restart.

[QueenoftheGreen]

@DeeDub Awesome, keep me updated on yours too I’d like to see it! My next grow is gonna be a Bruce Banner so hoping I get a bigger plant.

[QueenoftheGreen]

@Fastapp69 Holy shit that thing is massive I wish my auto was bigger but oh well!

[OrionsCeiling]

I’d recommend extending the flower time.

Also maybe try and bend some branches so they don’t touch the light and get burnt. I like to use metal hooks in the Grobo with some gardening wire. I hope this helps! Some people also physically bend the stalks in a technique called super cropping, this link might help: https://2fast4buds.com/news/benefits-of-super-cropping-autoflowering-cannabis-plants

[DeeDub]

@OrionsCeiling I am so tempted to do some LST but am so hesitant to do so in autos…which is all I grow due to space/time issues.

Any advise is appreciated…my BDA is still little but my WWA keeps stretching toward the light and I worry about burning. What is safe to do with auto when they are stretching high to the lights??

[DeeDub]

@QueenoftheGreen Here is my current girl…first BDA…now thinking I should not have topped as she seems to be bushy already…oh well…time will tell.

[DeeDub]

Aww…just saw that your plant was fem not auto just now…maybe time to change title so us auto growers don’t come to this thread accidentally…I still read a lot of threads cuz I luv the knowledge but just sayin…

[QueenoftheGreen]

@DeeDub Nice looking plant! No no mine is a Blue Dream Auto and I did top mine too… maybe why it’s bushy as well?

[QueenoftheGreen]

Here is Gerda today flower day 11/37

[DeeDub]

Super…glad to hear your girl is an auto as well…gives me some benchmark. I am a new grower and want to do some comparisons. Right now I have a single BDA in the tent but hope to do a same time grow in the Grobo in the future (my same time right now is a Zkittlez strain).

I’ll keep you posted on how my BDA girl (Raquel…because she is so beautiful) is doing. Looking forward to your progress…will give me good info as to whether I want to attempt BDA in Grobo.

[QueenoftheGreen]

@DeeDub Yupp this is my first grow EVER and chose the auto for ease of grow. I named her Gerda (Scandinavian name meaning Protector, Stronghold) and she was short and bushy and the named seemed fitting for her shape haha.
