LST/Topping for autoflowers?
Growing an afghan kush auto and a skunk villain auto (both 5 gal pots) in a snug 2.5 x 2.5. Wanting a uniform height I wasn't sure if I should top and/or train either- was thinking LST for the Skunk? Would also like to keep height mod. without sacrificing too much on the harvest.

Did I wait too long to top?
I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?

Topping or no topping? Or any training?
High! Im wondering if I should do any training to my sea of green grow. I mean I want to have a massive yield, but I don’t want them to grow in each other, so topping might be a bit over the top?😄😉 What do you think? Thank you very much✊

Make LST or not?
Is it better to continue with defoliation only and switch lights 20th of January, or make some lst now and let her evolve longer (until the end of January...)? She had topping already💀
