Sure, you can start now. - Have a plan on how you want to do it, and how you want the end result tho.

LST on rigid main stemI think I should have started with LST sooner. The main stem is rather rigid now. Unfortunately, I was away during Week 3. Would you recommend gradually pulling it sideways or better to leave it alone at this stage?

To LST or not to LST?I have 2 healthy Automaria II, paradise seeds, 3 weeks after germination and 16 cm tall, on the balcony and I am tempted to bend one of them and practice some LST of FIMming to see the difference. I don’t know.. I don’t want to risk the final harvest quantity.. Any advise?

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic hereIs it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

Hello! do I LST my auto flowers or do I let them do their thing? please help ( for grow 2 diary 2)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?
