First grows are scary, but exciting! Liked and followed!
Yeah, autos will flip whether they're big or not. Usually LSTing them is still worth it. I switched back to photos for a reason, though.
What you can do about your main cola is "ponytail" it; this involves using pipe cleaners to tie the top fan leaves over the top growth node. When it gets less sun, it will grow less; the growth will be directed to the other limbs. Don't leave it like that; usually 12 hours a day on and off is good, maybe 16. There are guides, though I couldn't find the one I usually link on youtube. Very low stress technique, suitable for autos.
Let us know if you have any questions =)
