Started defoliation to free up space. She now has 1 main top and 4 smaller ones, almost catching up to the first. Everything going well, except for some minor nutrient burn. I think she started flowering too small...
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 =)
