Candy Cane Autflower

er no you use them types of clips on larger plants to manipulate where they grow placing it on a plant at this stage will only stress it. remove them and wait about 2 weeks and add them back to the branches and put them in a way that the plant grows horizontally rather than vertical but with an auto flower I would not advise any kind of training that will only slow her down and add further time to her down the line alot of people dont understand yes autos are really good if you leave them alone lol :) Just feed her and let her go im sure she will do you proud and if you dont beleive me just look at a grower on here called roberts and im sure you will be impressed :)

yeah that is how you use them. I don't see a point in LST'ing fan leaves though. You want to LST the growing branches so they're forced to grow more horizontally.

Id clip her on the base ( where stem meets soil) any day now- or wait another week. But those side branches need to grow out far enough you don’t damage them. So maybe in another 2-3 weeks. Feel feel to drop me a message if you wanna chat more about it 🌱
