I'm curious about LST techniques that will in...

so LST on autos is pretty straightforward actually : the autos grow so hard and so fast they "stiffen" up really quickly. People will say it's never too late to train a plant, but this is not true for autos, leave it too late and you'll hurt your yield ! You want to start asap, i saw someone start on week 2 lol, i did mine week 3, people that wait until week 4 and 5 hurt their yield (as have i in the past). So when you want to train your auto, always think of two things : "why ?" and "how? ". Why are you training the plant ? to increase yield. How do you increase yield ? 1 . by breaking apex dominance for example training the main cola lower. 2. promoting side branching by "creating and even canopy" and 3. promoting larger bigger colas through light penetration. so what you want to do is bend the plant so the side branches take off, bend it towards the light so more light hits it. It sounds silly but basically when the plant feels light on it's stems and stalks and where the leaves connect, it "feels" it's grown tall enough and grows out the side branches, which down the line if you can get it all even with the main, means bigger yields. basically that's the point, during veg, try keeping the fan leaves downwards, avoid shadows/shady areas, and bed the top to break apex dominance best you can. Hope this helps ! 🚀
