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

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

My grow tent is about 2 1/4 feet x 4 x 6 ft . I use an inline exhaust fan on a cycle timer. 400 watt . I have HEPA filters mounted on the little windows for clean passive air- no intake fan. To keep the RH up and temp down can anyone recommend a cycle time for the exhaust fan?

What is the white stuff on my clay pebbles? I think it's some sort of salt build up but entirely sure. I flushed them out so we will see if it happens again this week.

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if the discoloration I got going on is just the end of the harvest or is it something I need to take care of? Also would you say I'm fine to start flushing this weekend? Or would you wait?

lower branches, late flower, lots of foliage
These lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?
Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

Mainlining - ready after three days?
When can I start mainlining? The four smaller plants still need a few days to recover, but the 2 bigger ones (Bruce Banner) should be ready - or should I wait as well? Thx a lot in advance for your help!

ScroG Autoflower
Would the ScroG method even be worth it for fast Autoflowers like Dark Devil Auto from sweet seeds for example? Or would LST be enough without it making much of a difference?
