They look like they're not suffering at all with all the training!
I really need to buy new pipe cleaners...mine look like crap compared to yours.

Day 24 above ground
they are doing well, all topped after the 5th node and most branches are trained. They got 3/4 cup of Geoflora VEG with their watering today.
The Blackberry are thin with some big node spacing. I've checked three times for a light leak...guess it's just genetics. Difference between the two

Loving the colored pipe cleaners. Bend er over is best. Love seeing folks manipulate plants.

Day 27 above ground
girls are right on track and starting to form bud sites. Adjusted their bondage straps, and trimmed the lower bud sites on the front Blue Dream. I did this with a GSC auto and got some really dense buds with little larf....hoping for the same. Raised the LUX to 40k. Upped the terpinator to 5ml. They stretch alot over the past week too.
Blue Dream. The one got some hooked leaves after the last Geoflora feeding three days ago but she's powering through it.
Blackberry is lanky and sparse but I believe this is typical of this strain from what I found on here and online.
Let the fun begin!

Well, they are still in stretch mode and grew 2" in height since yesterday. It's one thing I like about autos versus photos....the daily changes
The Blackberry is living up to its name and already showing her color.
About the only thing not as stretching is the toped nodes on Blackberry, hope they don't grow into each other. I may try to create some sort of wedge to separate those top nodes a bit

Sweet early purple! They're going to really stand out at harvest.

I hope so! The runt from the last grow was so dark purple it looked black....and smelled amazing. Tested a small piece that was curing for 30 days and it was smooth and tsted great. Still need more cure to get full potency.Sweet early purple! They're going to really stand out at harvest.

These autos are moving so fast I had decided this morning to bump up the light to 100% when I raised it this morning. With that, and being from 2.5 days from the last watering I'm getting some leaf burning, drying out crispy and some cal/mag deficiency spots. Lowered the light back to 75%.
And will now.be watering every 2 days as I believe the soil is drying too much as they sprint through life. My girlfriend is cooking another amazing dinner so I'm no about to try and fill up 6 jugs of water to do it tonight haha. Gave them all 32 ozs and will fill them in the morning.
Also had to add boosters to three as the back right Blackberry just keeps stretching. I swear it grew 2" from this morning.
blue dream: back one is spotting and drying leaves
Blackberry: back on is really getting tall. If she doesn't slow...too late to super crop her?

Not too late. You will be pleasantly surprised if you super crop now. That branch will make a whole length of “tops”
Personally I prefer to super crop as late as possible when the bud sites are set. Best to have minimal stretch afterwards.

Great thanks for the insight. If she grows any more, I might as well try something new and learn.

Day 30 above ground
moving along. Today starts the every other day water schedule. Also added 10m Terp and 10ml Massive and gave a little cal/mag to the two showing deficiencies.
The two Blackberry. The one is taller than all the plants, crazy for a 75% indica. The tall one is growing three buds from the top, hoping I didn't half top it best way I could figure to spread those little bud sites apart was a zip tie to push them out.
Blue Dream, 75% sativa, are looking great
I may need to remove some fans from the Blue Dream when they get further along.
