As soon as they break their seedling stage which is indicated by its first five tipped leaf your free to bend away. 🤘😤

The easiest would be in the middle/end of 3rd week and 4th week, but it can be on the end of the 2nd or beginning of 3rd, or maybe even earlier if you´re bold enough, Peace

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?
I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant. Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all? First Grow. Started balcony, moved to tent D23. SF-1000 light, 100% at ~ 55cm from canopy.

Space..
Not enough space. I havent got experience with autoflowers, they are bigger then i expected, with so many tops. Is better to take smallest one (verry short pheno-left Down corner)away for better yields per plant? Or is it still OK? Thank you and sorry for my english. ✌️

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? THX!

Nutrient comparison experiment; to LST or not to LST
Should I do any Low-Stress Training, which I normally do, since it throws another variable in the experiment? These plants are all different sizes and if I LST I will definitely increase the yield but I feel like that interrupts the scientific process. Shoot me some thoughts.

More lst?
On lemon 2 should I perform more lst? I looked at bending down what branches I'd be able to and it didn't make too much of a difference in regarding to how bushy she is and also the branches are starting to get quite rigid now. Thanks.
