Mephisto Genetics Whats the trick/technique to getting tall, stacked colas of bud?

First let me state that 98% of what I know is from photo period but based on observing my first autoflower grow I believe it is very applicable. If you've grown girls before and have experience you know what the first major stretch in the flower cycle is. That is when you do your first prune. Essentially at this stage you remove any side branches that aren't going to make it to the top and you remove all the pre-flowers below the main canopy.

The second prune you do for an autoflower around 25-30 days before they are done and it is really a very light prune and you are removing lowers that are going to take away from your tops.

That's it. It's a formula. The stretchier a girl is the more you can take. If you really want to turn this into a science you have to keep notes and take pictures. I would use a calendar for you notes that way your timing is recorded.

Reminder your yield will go down.

That's great. And I understand it. Thanks for that. I'll be following this pretty soon. Just on day 19 for 5 auto's right now. I'm going to do some light LST soon. I might top too. Its the pruning that has the steeper learning curve for me right now anyway.

I have always found the strip EVERYTHING but top 3 nodes and flip once healed works best for me this was before I flipped and now 7 days later of course genetics play a HUGE role in it

Once u try pruning and see the results from it and lst u will probably always do it from then on.
