Harvested on day 74. The yield from both plants was very close. Four grams extra on the LST’d plant. However going forward I think I will always use this topping/HST method. With only 6 branches the plant takes up less space and is much easier to manage as regards watering and defoliation.

This is my first grow using Coco Coir. When growing autoflowers in soil I have always halved or quartered the manufactures recommended dosage of nutrients. Should I also lower the recommended dosage of nutrients when growing autoflowers in Coco ?

Autoflowers require half dose or less for all medium. They are very light feeders compared to photoperiods.

Nice grow . If I ever do training on my blonde I do LST I topped a auto once but never did it again after that
