I wouldn't recommend topping even though it works out in some cases ...

Stick to LST for autos. That's generally the best option.

This leafy boi has grown bushy. What training methods do you recommend? Should I just tie down to the side? should I defoliate the fan leaves covering new growth?

Fan leaves during main-lining
Do you recommend leaving the fan leaves when doing main-lining, or should I remove them? My thought is that through those leaves, the plant will continue photosynthesizing more efficiently and won't experience as much stress. What do you recommend—should I remove them or not?

Defoliate or not (autoflower)
Should I defoliate some of my larger fan leaves on this autoflower? If so, at what point during growth should I do that? This is my first grow so another question is if it’s even worth me defoliating.

Defoliation?
To defoliate or not? On my previous grows I have defoliate the day before flipping and again at 22 days into flower. This time around I defoliate 2 weeks before flipping. Should I defoliate again at 21 days or leave it? Is 21 days the optimal time?

Should I stop LST yet?
How much longer should I be training my girl? I accidentally topped her very short early on so she has a low but very flat canopy. She started preflower last week and I am almost to the edge of the pot

She just started week 7 and i plan on taking her to 10 depending on Trichomes. From here on out just water and molasses once in awhile. My question is do you flush or leech? If so do you add anything? If not what is your reason? Would love to hear others opinions on it!

Can the color of your nutrients cause the roots to be dyed. My MicroGro nutrient is dark red and the older roots are colored a light red. More roots continue to grow and the roots which haven't started touching the water in my hydro system are still bright white (see photo).

I only have 45w lights on it though, I’m worried about this hurting my yield. There are some small colas towards the lower half, should I consider clipping them to focus more energy on top canopy? Thanks!
