[stonehead]

as above, cant seem to find any auto blues grows.

any techniques to stop them bushing out lioke removing lower branches,, but at what stage would I do this and also when would I start light defoliation?

only ask these questions as I have a 80x80x180 space but my last 4 plants were tight in there


Thanks

Here's one. It was originally called Steel City Blues.

I had a couple other threads on Auto City but the photos are all gone from a website changeover. A couple other members I know that have grown Auto City are Nuteburn and BayLee420. They have threads here in the Mephisto section. Here's a photo of one I grew in the Chip bag competition grow. It yielded an ounce in a chip bag. Solid nuggets.
One of our favorites

Auto blues is neither a too bushy nor too big strain, one of the originals that leant towards an autoflower sea of green style of grow, so you shouldn't have problems in that regard

All the best with them, Mitch

That's good news, how about the tyrone? I think losing the bottom branches should give me the space but when should I remove them?
Thanks mitch I look forward to it

and a question for soil users, should I stick to using the verve cutting compost or should I get a bag of biobizz light mix? have store credit so its not about the cost.

will be using 6 litre air pots for these

lollipopping is what I was meaning, when is the best time to remove the bottom branches?

 

[stonehead]

so i went ahead and got the biobizz light mix and in the bag looks good, looks to have enough perlite already which is good as i couldnt find any without buying 100 litres.

It's great out of the bag, we have zero problems with starting autos in it.

If it's for the entire grow you'll need to feed from about 15-20 days until a week before harvest, that's what we find anyway

that sounds promising thanks. cant wait for them to arrive now.

and just read the whole of mitch's auto adventure on ic mag and i have the utmost respect for the work and the way you guys have put so much effort into this, that i feel bad in thinking that the beans were expensive, or more so would be better being sold for a fiver each without the freebies lol, would appear to be even more of a bargain than it already is then
and can i ask do you guys do any lollipopping on the bushier plants that get too close?

thanks again mitch.
