Should I Train?
TheMadHasherstarted 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.

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds).
The description says SCROG and LST work good.
I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier.
I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations.

Node distance and LSTWondering if I should do something to increase node distance. I see so many journals of people doing LST and their plants seem to be stretched so much more and it seems much more clear where and what to train. Is this ok? Good? Terrible?

Accidentally bent/squished the stem on Pheno #3, is it possible it can bounce back?I was LST'ing the Purple Haze Pheno #3, I accidentally got a bend in the stem and it could have snapped or partially torn, I attached some photos hope these help. It was by accident, I have nerve damage and arthritis so I can't keep my hands still that much especially standing.

3 NL Autos from ILGM all started at same time, but plant 2 received no training: did training DELAY or STUNT plants 1Plant 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? … Show more

LST adviseJust 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?
