I'm

I'm a fan of your work lol,
Must of been 2017- 2018 but it wasn't on AFN, I can't mind were it was but I was only in my reading stage and wondering how am I Gona do this and reading articles & stuff all over the net and u were the guy I was reading about cos I was considering growing photoperiod outside and your outdoor garden inside the mesh runs was wanting me to get growing but the UK climates shit so went with Autos.
What's the chance of you making an appearance on my thread
One of my inspirations to growing tbh as your threads was the first of my reading to try learn this growing carry on.
That's crazy lol

Wow my friend that's very flattering thank you very much. I don't even know what to say now kind of got me blushing a little bit. LOL

I didn't think anybody was really paying attention.
I always thought I was preaching to the net airwaves so to speak. Well I'm glad somebody did pick up on it.
I try to preach it all the time no matter where I go. I just help folks out. Cuz I know there's a better way than just letting them grow wild. As I've seen the light.

Yeah anytime you want me to come and make an appearance on anything you just let me know. I'll be more than happy to say howdy.

And there's folks out here with a lot more knowledge than I have and great techniques that are just awesome. I didn't learn anything alone. I followed other growers and followed their techniques and just tweak them and twerk them so they worked for me.
The gentleman just above here post with his girl's that's awesome looking totally spectacular absolutely.

I grow using the SOG method and schwazz all my autos… I would end up with over half of it being airy fluff bud if I didn’t.

Here are a few SOG crops I just harvested a few weeks ago that were all schwazzed twice during their flowering period.

That is an awesome and spectacular style you have there. Great job.
What was your total time seed to harvest on this grow? Also if you don't mind what was the yield on this grow also how many plants, what was your light time 18, 20, or 24 hours of light a day?

@Born slippy Thanks for the reps

@420autoflower is the man as far as I’m concerned when it comes to the auto Schwaz. I thought that I tried to push what an auto can do. But he takes the cake! Hats off.

I don’t schwaz, but I do heavy defoliation and lollipopping up to a certain stage - varies by plant. Anything I grow that yields under a pound these days I consider a disappointment. My worst plants lately have been yielding 12+ oz. That’s not a brag. I just want more people to experiment and push boundaries. Take some chances.

As far as trichome laden autos, look at mephisto Walter White. I’m extracting the entire plant and I’ve never seen so much trichomes. YMMV and all of that.

Glad to see this started and already getting some interest @Born slippy

I've got no idea what I'm doing but following what I've seen achieved by @420autoflower and @hope2grow I decided to go for it, but bottled it slightly and left some of the lower fan leaves...
Anyhow, I'm sure time will tell. I'm looking forward to seeing others' approach, timing and also results, but for now here are mine from yesterday.

Got any journals on here where you go over your method? :drool:

I strip all my plants. I usually do it 3 times though, once early in flower, once middle, then again a week or two before harvest just removing any leaves I can get to the stem on.. I've had pretty good luck doing it. The plants I haven't stripped gave me lots of trim whereas with stripping, almost everything is useable without removing the bottom half of the plant.

Thank you @Growtogrow
Total time on the 2x2” and 4x2” tents were 73 days and the 5x5” was harvested on day 89. Still haven’t finished cleaning up the buds from the 5x5” but it’s looking like over 4 pounds. Currently running 600 watts of lighting in there 24/7 and average about 2.5 grams per watt, but this one should be over 3. All the crops were grown in rockwool on flood & drain trays and there were 16 plants total in the 5x5” 10 in the 4x2” and 10 small plants in the 2x2”.

Thanks brother!
That was a nice compliment.
After seeing how you grow extremely large autos makes me want to change things up a little and grow some bigger plants. I’ve never grown a 1lb auto before or even close to that lol.

Yes… here’s a few.
