Hello! do I LST my auto flowers or do I let them do their thing? please help ( for grow 2 diary 2)
thenewdudestarted grow question 4 years ago
hello! fastbuds recommends to tie down the side branches to increase yield, but for an auto is it not better to just leave it alone? I am lost. Zamnesia gives no recommendations. I'd like to get the most out of both my plants

Despite all my read fears about toping, lst or defoliation with autos, it all works !!!
But ...
You have to know what you do, when and what for.
I use fat wires for first waves of Lst, later thinner. Found that fatter is softer and softer is less stress for young branches.
Have my First and last Auto diary. You can check, i lst different strains of autos with great success.
Work with plants when they are thirsty and water with plain phed water after.
If you have any doubts, msg me, its always good thing to share and ask.
Happy growing !

It all comes down to preference really.
I top, lst and super crop my autos because I have a small canopy space available.
If you leave natural you'll have tall and small colas on the same plant which may be a light height/distance issue?

Hey
I've had some pretty big autoflowers so I would do some lst, even if all you do is tie down the main stem it will still make a more flat canopy and open up more sites to stronger more intense light. As long as you're gentle and don't tie them too tight where you might break any branches.
Happy growing.

Autos grow faster without stress, recovery time and they may be wanting to flower already. Cheers friend

Weird Autos (RQS NLA, same strain) still vegging day 50. Only some preflower, but nice plants. WHAT would YOU do?!This is the most unpredictable auto flowers I've ever had. It will be 50 days soon and only preflower on one plant. Ive used a 12/12 light schedule on autos before. Should I try this on these plants? If, so keep it 12/12 untill the end? No turning back to 20/4 when they go?5 years ago

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?

Starting seedlings, which is the best route?

Slow release organic nutes feeding! Please help!I am planning on using slow release organic nutes that recommend amending around every 20-25 days.
