She should be ready in another 10 days or so. You want about 4-5 sets of true leaves before starting LST. Happy growing.

Best to start LST young when stems are flexible-- start when she grows 5-6 total nodes

Top her off THEN LST?
Growing a tangerine dream auto she’s a few weeks old and growing nicely. I hear this one can get large, even tho it’s an auto. So I was thinking to top the plant AND then start LST to keep her from getting too big. Does this make sense? Or LST first then top? Thanks!

Topping and LST autoflower
I have a 2.5 week old seedling that is only ~3 inches tall, but I just topped/fimmed the 5th node. I plan on starting LST, how long should I wait before tying them down? She is currently in a 3 gallon.

Focusing on Full Healthy Buds
I think my baby autos went to Flower way too early and I’m not too sure where or when I made the mistake. With that being said I know my yield won’t be huge (as I am expecting this since this is my first grow) but is there any way that I can maximize the size of my buds?

Stress training
Should I use a training technique on any of my autos or just get a successful grow to harvest for my first grow? If so when should I do this? Are there any stress techniques that should not be used on autos?
