ZipCap

Hello, I'm considering doing LST and topping at the same time. Is it okay for the ladies or is it too much stress at once?

It's fine, top the plant first and then bend her over for a nice even canopy, keep tying the tallest ones down

LST advise
Just a quick question about my LST: By checking my last 3 photo uploads do you guys it’s working good? I’m not sure since it’s the first time growing and using LST. I’m quite confused with so many leafs popping up and I’m not sure what’s the next step. Just wait?

Should I top her a second time?
I know some people believe topping autos is a bad idea but so far I've had great results. I have only ever topped autoflowers a single time. Never twice. Wondering if anyone has experience with topping more than once? If so, how did it turn out?

Days between LST for mainline/manifold training
For mainlining, after the first cut, do I need to move the soft garden ties out as the new growth tips grow? The green crack is really shooting out in recovery and I want to keep it in it's manifold shape as it does. How many days between LST sessions essentially?

General questions about my grow
Based on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.

When to stop LST? (Auto)
When should i stop horizontal LST and let her main branches to vertically? i'd say she's well into preflower with pistils popping up everywhere and the smell getting noticable. LST hasn't gone this well in my previous grows so i'm not sure where to end it.

It looks like my plant is dieing! Plants turning brown after intense watering period
Did I drown my plant? Stress it? I gave a lot of water in a short duration of time, and now 7 days later she is looking terrible! Read my diary on week 17 for more info!

Does my autoflowering plant look okay after topping
I did topping on week #3 and have been doing LST during the last 4 days. I feel I over-stressed the plant. Seems like it's to small for it's age. Please take a look at the photos I have attached and say: Does my plant look okay as for a middle of the 4th week of vegetation?😐

When to top
Curious when you guys are topping. I have just entered week 4 and the 5th real pair of leaves is just developing. Should I top now or wait for the 6th? Root system should be fine by now for the plant to handle the stress, right?

To top or not to top an autoflower
As I can read when googling, it’s a hit or miss to top and auto. What’s your experience? Should I go for it? My plant just started her third week.
