I try to do at least 3 or 4 times sue... I keep it up until I see a big enough grow the upper fans that normally cover them can be tucked under the new growth
And that plant actually looks like a great candidate for ponytailing. The shorter and bushier plants benifit well
Ponytailing and fan tucking is the name of the game at this point ...

Day 20
Feed @ 1.5ml/L grow / micro / bloom and 2ml/L B52 and Voodoo Juice but voodoo will be stopped after today. Currently 1L of water each day. Helga will not be getting ponytail training today. She has taken to it well and the undergrowth is already shooting straight up to form massive main colas and the larger upper fan leaves have been tucked under
Olga is still getting ponytailed she is a bit behind big sis and needs at least a few more rounds

There autos mate i guarentee u they will show preflowers any day now.just try keep tieing her up and shape her how u want.but heavy training in flower will stunt growth and affect yield mate.keep up the good work

In my experience strapping the limbs and opening the plant up at all stages (LST) only allows more light to the interior of the plant and promotes more bud develpoment. I've NEVER seen an auto yield decreased by LST. This is not including topping or super cropping only pulling and "training" the plant to grow in the fashion you choose and maintaining an even canopy. I agree there is no way to determine when pre flowering begins but things like feed schedule and pot size DO have an effect on how long the plants continue to grow and flower.

Yea training i ment topping supercropping.an auto should begin to flower between 3 and 4 weeks of age.thats normal for an auto thats how they roll.i agree pot size is very important to how big a plant u want to grow. Best of luck mate il be watching
Temperature seems to have an effect on how long they veg for too. This one is already over 100 days old and has been roughing it in the wilds of Scotland since May.....
Think it was supposed to go 120 days as it's Super Cali Haze but I think we can be fairly sure it won't finish flowering in a fortnight.
Great looking plants so far Atrain. I like watching your soil autos grow more than I do my own.....currently smoking my first soil auto and it's a rather tasty smoke and strong enough to hit the spot but there was hardly anything of it as it spent most of it's life under a 125W CFL. Got a WW auto in soil under (well near) my 600W HPS on 18/6 while I veg some photos just now and I'm hopeful I'll get more than a week or two's smoke out of that.
Ever topped just as the first or second sets of true leaves appear? My WW got a bit frazzled in the propagator after the first sets of leaves were appearing but they eventually recovered and the one I have left indoors seems very bushy for a WW.
