Hey, bro! 👋
For autoflower, just use LST... I don't even recommend HST, because the plant will take a day to recover from the stress! Top - forget about that, it's unacceptable for autoflower since the limited vegetative period just won't allow you to grow branches and internodes.... flowering will kick in right away and you'll lose a lot in yield.... up to 40% of your potential! 👆
Only LST for autoflower! 👌 My diary for mobydick xxl autoflower is exactly with the LST method, check it out for reference, bro! 👌
Good luck, friend! ✊😇

Don't suggest topping. you want as little stress with auto's as possible.. Just lst them and let them grow.. 👊

When to start 12/12Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top.
So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.4y ago

When do I start Low Stress Training and Will topping help along with LST to increase harvest?When do I start Low Stress Training? and Will Topping help with LST to maximize harvest or Is it better if I just do only Low Stress Training? The Plant is at Day 36th (35 Days and 11 Hours Right now) Are those 2 small dried leaves a sign of a problem?

Accidently topped my autoflower, we it survive/rebound?Day 24 in my first ever grow. Mephisto northern cheese haze auto. Did a round of LST/Tucking last night, woke up to a fully broken off top growth of the main stem, effectively topping it(?). Is there anything I can/should do? Will it bounce back or should I start another grow?

Training Automatics - best practices!Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you!
