Training Automatics - best practices!
Cremostarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you!
(Pic pretty unrelated, it's my last Mimosa EVO)

I think it's fine if you top an auto as long as there healthy . It will just mean more time added on to the grow .
Best and fastest way that is working for me is too LST and defoliate when needed, on a 20/4 light cycle .
Leaving it to grow by itself I think is only useful in a sea of green set up or outdoors, otherwise you should always train autos unless you don't mind sacrificing yield . 🌱

@ORGANOMAN, thank you, Sir. I'll definitely check out the blog section of GD for further information. I only asked because I wanted some opinions of people actually working with the plant on a daily basis ;)

There is much information about growing autos in the Grow Diaries Journal/Blog section found at Grow Diaries' home page.
I am of the belief that not doing anything other than some gentle LST, is best for the normal grower and best for the plant.

Too many buds because of LST? A yield full of popcorn buds??Should I cut off more buds to get a higher yield? I am afraid, that she will develope too many popcorn buds. Or is she looking allright and I can get a good yield without stressing her any more?
(She is in her third flowering week)

Pistils? Steps from now on?Hey this is my first plant. Went all good till now. Not the growth i had wished for, but im happy.
Day 21 now i see pistils clearly. Isnt it a bit early for pistils, because the plant is relatively small.
How should i proceed? LST? Topping an option or is it too late?

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?

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?)?

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?
