hey there, with autos and LST you absolutely have to start earlier because the autos genetics "get stiff" quite early on, so they simply wont bend that well. when you do bend them they wont really adapt correctly meaning the branches will grow sometimes "upsidedown" in a bad way, or some branches will be stunted and not grow well. So if you want yield, sorry to say but in flower there's not much you can do now except add PK when the buds are the size of your thumbs. so i do recommend LST with autos but not for this plant at this time. next time you grow these gens, go for it. if you try it now, you'll see what i'm talking about. Hope this helps ! 🚀
