How to optimize Outdoor Autoflower Yield?
GreenInDixiestarted grow question 4 years ago
Question for the crowd - in an outside grow where vertical space isn't an issue, what's the best method to optimize yields for autoflowers? Topping seems out of the question given the nature of autoflowers, and I'm not sure what benefits LST would really give.

Hi!
I have been in that understanding that in an outdoor grow the best for yields is to let the plants grow naturally!
Sunlight has so much UV light and it will penetrate through leaf surfaces so no need to defoliate and the sun moves so much in the sky that the sun rays will hit almost every part of the plant during the day that you dont need to optimize that much.
In an indoor grow training are done cos artificial light wont penetrate through leaves and the light is only in one position in the tent.

Salut le jardinier ! Comme les automatiques sont limitées par la taille des pots tu dois faire un gros trou bien profond pour que les racines percent et rien que ça devrais changer beaucoup de choses . Sinon un bon palissage ou tu écarte bien les branches du tronc avec de la ficelle. Et surcharge ton sol d'engrais si c'est de la pleine terre. Bonne chance

Hey at LST there is the advantage in there instead of big slim plants, to get smaller thicker bushes :-)

You can top autos just check out my Moby dick auto diary put that theroy to the test and actually the topped ones are bigger.
If top them can at least double the colas. If late switch can top a bunch of times before goes into flower.
Would think just spreading out the branches would give you more yield as well.
Can't do a whole lot with autos.
