Here is my girl on day 43 13/14 transition, It looks like she may outgrow the box at the rate she is growing. @Todd.grobo how do you think she is looking? @Gunk @TheDogMan

Looks good. I usually trim a few of the big leaves every fill as I don’t like doing a lot of cutting at one time.

Maybe clip a few near the top so you can see more what is down below and let some light lower. I know many don’t, :grinning: but I left a lot of smalls or popcorn buds down below, so I had to get light to get down there.

Thank you for the heads up up I will take a few off tomorrow when I do a top off!

Looks good. I see some pistols so I bet she’ll stretch a bit more but maybe only 4-5 more inches for now.

Because she’s auto you have done minimal cutting right? I would consider removing some of the larger fan leaves at this point, they do not benefit the plant.

Ok I will! And wooo I am glad to hear this she is growing like crazy over night it seems, Thank you sir very much, I will trim some of the big fans off.

I just took about 7-10 bigger fan leaves off a few small ones also, I can already see light shining on way more of her bud sites! will she droop some after trimming due to losing so many leaves? Thank you

There is so much you could do to this is she was a photo period! Just tuck the other leaves for now, they will pop back up in a day or two but will expose the bud sites to MORE light in that time.
Remember that light in the Grobo penetrates 12-18" down. Anything under that really won’t be getting the same as everything else and will be affected in growth. I know we discussed this, so keep this in mind on your next grow, a photoperiod would let you clean her up pretty!

Now you really have me wishing I would have joined the light side from the start :joy:

I am sure she will be fine due to so much new and extra growth that is left!

Getting a successful grow in whether auto or photoperiod is a success. You’re still learning a long the way and will be better equipped next grow, there are no downsides!

Hello fellow growers, I tried to push my coco pod down some but my roots are so big they will not allow me to push the coco pod down any and my plant is showing signs of heat stress, any tips please? Thank you!! @TheDogMan @Todd.grobo @Mpower11

Keep in mind don’t do what I do, :rofl: but I think you can easily cut a lot of those bigger leaves even if an auto. You just stop right before flower and then don’t trim anymore. I cut mine up way more than you did and mine looks nice. You don’t top it either usually.

My pod is even with the top and no problems that I can see. Next grow is going to be even with the top again I guess unless a problem. I can’t really comment about the temps as I do not check them. :grinning: If you think it is getting high, leave the door open a bit if the house is cooler might be the easiest thing to do. If growing to tall, then you need to start holding it down to keep away from the lights so it can still try to grow.

The auto seeds can be nice, but you need to research and choose one that does not grow to tall. Why I might skip the Skunk #1 that can grow tall and go straight to the Do Si Dos or Wedding Cheesecake as they are short thick bushes I hope.
