TheMadHasher
started grow question 6y ago
This is my first time growing an auto flowering strain. I’ve heard mixed opinions about training them. My question is are there any truly beneficial training techniques for auto flowering strains?

LST is all I would do to an auto. Less stress bigger plant. Autos only have so long to grow so I dont like to slow. Cheers

LST only as it will stunt its growth because they grow for a limited time only. (Less time repairing more time producing)

You can train autos, but don’t use any high stress technique. Use only LST and you can really improve your yields.

3 NL Autos from ILGM all started at same time, but plant 2 received no training: did training DELAY or STUNT plants 1
Plant 1 has healthiest foliage but smallest buds. Plant 2 seems farthest along but stalling out. Plants 1 & 3 fattening. Just delayed? Seeing amber trichs here n there, but lots of clears/milky all over. Flush plant 2 for a week or two and harvest but let 1 & 3 go longer?

Should I stop LST yet?
How much longer should I be training my girl? I accidentally topped her very short early on so she has a low but very flat canopy. She started preflower last week and I am almost to the edge of the pot

Good day! I have a question for experienced growers who've used LST. The stem usually branches out to 2 branches, one of which is just one big leaf and the other branch has nodes & other branches.

Improving LST in textil pots ?
Do you have any advice for me for my LST? Because I am in a textile pot and it is not very practical to make hanging points ... I try to make it turn in a "spiral" to maximize the space.

First micro grow. First 3 weeks plants were growing outdoors. Defoliated, LST and Scrogged the 3 plants to make space, pushed the plants down, and allow for smaller branches to gain light. Was on 18/6 hours light cycle for 2 weeks, changed to 12/12 after week 4. M/F still unkown

LST Autoflowers
So, I am on my last day of week 5 with these auto’s. They are still aggressively growing upwards. Was wondering if now would be too late to start some LST with them? Pros and cons? Thanks guys!

LST stressed plant, will it recover?
It seems she did not take the LST very well and is growing very slowly. Is this a lost cause or can she still recover and grow relatively big? Day 20
