Bruce Banner Autoflowers, is it the right time to FIM?

As the others said it looks good. However, I like to get that top a little farther over! Once I got the top where I like it’s just a waiting game for the other branches to fill in and get tied down as well. I am always adjusting my tie downs as the plant grows. Good work!

@Capt.Cola @OGIncognito Thanks alot for the reasurance. I thought the top didnt look far enough over either. So something more like this? I get nervous and think I’m going to hear a snap if I go much further.

Heard that many a time, nice job! She’ll be reaching for the light by tomorrow. You’ll like what you’re doing with the LST and exposing more bud sites :love_you_gesture:

These plants are pretty durable! I was nervous the first time doing anything with them. Recovery in a short time is why I like lst for autos.

Ooh dont tell me that, lol. Yeah I can see how you level the plant out, so that everywhere gets the same about of light. Thanks again!

Yeah as long as I dont pull too hard and the stalk is still flexible Im pretty confident. Thanks again for the suggestion! I would have been terrified topping or FIMing…

@OGIncognito @Nicky @Capt.Cola hope you all real doing well. Thanks again for the help with LST and lighting. Nicky I definitely wasnt giving enough in Veg and am now blasting my Bruce Banner #2 thats a week behind due to an overwatering incident… (Whistles quietly). About 5 days in to LST and I am still messing with the lighting now that its in flower, but I think I have the basic technique for LST down? Any comments would be appreciated! So excited to see those flowers pop out on Sunday, like a little boy on Xmas! haha

Try to turn your lights off and take a picture in the dark with flash on. This will show us a clearer picture and be able to read the plant heath through the leafs.

Let it grow now that you have tied it down

Awesome, thanks, you all have been such a help.

I’ll take some pics tonight once its off, sorry didnt think of that. Without that light chart you gave me, my grow would have been bad, I would be burning that plant. My hero! :love_you_gesture:

So after going over your info again, and seeing you comment on many posts about lighting, you are my lighting master too. LOL I had 2, from what I now know, cheap 600W Red/Blue LEDs barely pushing 20k lux at like 6". Was wondering why they looked so small compared to other pics I’d seen on here at 7 weeks… So I ordered 2 Vivosun VS1000’s. they had a great deal on Amazon. They show up tomorrow. I did LST on BB #2, she is a week behind and I think I nailed this one. Do you mind giving me your thoughts so far on BB#1 and BB#2? BB#1, in flower, well let’s just say I figured out it wasn’t stretching to get away from the light bc it was “too bright” :joy:!

I’ve got 2 of the exact same light. Picked them up used, probably for more than they’re worth. They pull about 100 watts but don’t run super hot compared to some other lights. So you’ll get a good 200 watts out of them, they’re legitimate full spectrum lights so that’s a plus. I’m using them to veg, so you’ll get some use out of them. To be honest if I could go back and buy lights again, I’d get an HLG way sooner than halfway through my first grow. Then maybe by now I’d have two HLGs and a KingBrite and I’d be drowning in too much light instead of scraping by with 4 disproportionate lights.

@Nicky @OGIncognito @Capt.Cola so how do I look so far? Bruce Banner #1 had a weak light, now that it has a decent light it is growing well I think? Bruce Banner #2 seems to be just starting flowering and the LST and new lights are making it grow huge compared to BB #1. Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Hope all is well! Those buds on BB #1 are smelling amazing and cant stop looking at them.

Looking good right now.

You’ll want to do a soil slurry sample (YouTube) with distilled water to get an a cure ph and tds to know where your sitting.

Watching a VPD chart?
