As long as you give her time to recover between each session of training (1-2 weeks depending on setup), there shouldn't be any issues. She is a very hard plant. Good luck

Depends on the genetics. Some strains can handle it well others can't. I would not do all 3 to an autoflower. Some photoperiods can handle it all. Gl on your grows.

Yeah you can do all the techniques but not all at once as that would stress your plant, slow and steady 👍

When to top Curious when you guys are topping. I have just entered week 4 and the 5th real pair of leaves is just developing. Should I top now or wait for the 6th? Root system should be fine by now for the plant to handle the stress, right?

Are my plants already starting to bloom or not?I got 3 questions: 1) Do my plants actually bloom or not? 2) Do I need to add red light now? (For now I have 6 "cold" bulbs by 25 watts. Should I change all of them or just ad 2 for beginning?) 3) How can I boost stems growth or it's too late?

Sugar in feed water (every feed?)So the person I got clones off told me to add maple sugar to my feed water. 1-tbls a gallon . Never heard this before and he didn't explain why. Does anyone do this ? N IF SO, what's the purpose of the sugar (said regular sugar would be fine also) do it every watering ?

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer no no debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

Stress training Should I use a training technique on any of my autos or just get a successful grow to harvest for my first grow? If so when should I do this? Are there any stress techniques that should not be used on autos?
