Well, I have accidentally broken stems from all my autos doing LST, it’s stress like topping. It’s true that this delays a lot the process and you end up having lost some potency or bud thickness. My opinion, just LST and light defoliation. Good luck 😊

Yes. Topping does not cause gigantic growth, just longer branches. Autos are best left alone apart from some light LST if anything, but nothing else, not even defoliation. Defoliation reduces your plants capacity to produce energy, therefore slowing growth. All cannabis will grow its fastest and biggest with all leaves left in place to make energy. Just remember - maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy production = maximum growth and maximum health. It is that simple and basic plant biology 101. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.
