Hey there Abava, great question ! see with autos everything is more difficuly mostly because they "stiffen up" quicker than autos, that means that any LST becomes more difficult because if you leave the plant too long it will "stiffen" up. Even after the 3rd week, i've seen growers struggle with plants that stiffened up quicker than they thought it would. So any LST, start it as soon as possible , and remember to anchor the plant's base. For topping, you need to look at the plant, see if it's still vegging and if it has enough nodes wait until there's four nodes and top at the 4th node for best results, dont do it too early as it will stunt the auto forever. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hi you dont have to decide it yet, You have been choosing " classic automatic strains" so i wont do to much . Automatics rspond very well to LST, so it would be the Technic of choice. But i see other things going on in your room. Your Girls look leggy, that means the lights are to weak/ to far away. I would put the weakest light you have, very close to them. and give them some airflpw , to the stems fatten up. you can dig around the stems some soil . They should be able to stand by its own. Its better to give the little ones a " weakre " light but very close so they build nice stems.

Hey Abava! Since they are auto's You would be better off doing a Scrog or some LST if you have to control height. Hopefully they will just grow short and bushy for ya👌 but if they don't those would be the methods I would use. You wouldn't want to top or anything due to them being an auto flower and you don't have the luxury of just letting them in veg to heal up from the stress of the topping ect. It is way less stress on the plants to just do a little bending of the branches if you have to just be careful if you do have to as you don't want to break any! If you really need to tie the main stem down and it will almost act like topping without as much stress just some ideas. Just what ever you do Do not top or fim them when they are auto's! Hope this helps Happy Growing!!
