answered grow question 5y ago
I usually start when there are at least 3 nodes, those look to be the perfect size for training

Hello! do I LST my auto flowers or do I let them do their thing? please help ( for grow 2 diary 2)
hello! fastbuds recommends to tie down the side branches to increase yield, but for an auto is it not better to just leave it alone? I am lost. Zamnesia gives no recommendations. I'd like to get the most out of both my plants

LST/Defoliation Advice
I bought some LST clips and used them on my plants. It's my first time doing LST so is this gonna do the job? Would Defoliation make sense? If yes which leaves do I take off?

To LST or not to LST … that is the question
Should I LST?? I’m growing ILGM OG Kush auto flower. I know I probably should, but part of me wants to just let her rip and see what happens all natural. However I’m in a small tent (18x18x56) and the website says the plants usual height is about 40 inches. What would you do?
