Should I Train?
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.

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?

How and when to train?
Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

LST during flowering?
is it OK to keep bending her main stem over during flower? It wouldn't be a big deal but I am running out of room to keep raising the light. She a good 4 inches above the rest. See Day 34 pic

whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer
Hey everyone,. I need your opinions on whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer. I think I may have trimmed the main stem too much to the side, and I'm a bit worried. The pictures and the video is in my diary if you have a look I'd be glad

Should I Stop LSTing the Northern Lights Auto since its stretching a lot ?
as title says im comparing the shape of my plant to other growers and since I have been dropping the main cola height it has become more of a circle rather the long sticks ready to be filled with bud.

General feedback
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, to me the plant looks healthy, however it is a bit small considering it’s age, right? I’m thinking it may be because of the cheap ‘300W’ light I was using at the beginning of the grow. What do you guys think? (Video end of week 6)

Improving LST newbie skills
Any tips on improving my LST on autoflowers? Should I also use bamboo sticks? What is their actual purpose? Can you hurt the roots when sticking one in the soil ? I did a lot of research about LST and came up to this pic. How to you build that spiral ? Should that be a goal? Thxx
