I wouldn't top an auto, prob do more harm than good especially if you are fairly new, I have only grown autos and am on my 3rd grow and I jus LST around weeks 3-4, and jus retie em down each day to keep the canopy as even as possible. Good luck, grow and learn.

Since it is an auto, don't top or fim, just a bit of LST once she is a bit bigger.

Brownish stem color after supercropping Is it normal that the stem turns brownish at the bending site, on all four supercropped plants? It must be, since all flowers and leaves are looking perfectly healthy on the bent apexes, but still I wonder whether it may become weak spots later. Thanks!

Training autos - predicting peak of vigor on plants Hi Growers, I've done lst and hst on autos before but not always the same nice results and I wonder what tips you might have or what markers I might look for in the plant to know if it's on point for training. How to identify the peak of vigor before it happens in veg?

Training?How exactly should I go about this plant when it comes to training? I've not grown a fem in a while and I'm just looking for a full canopy (or as full as possible). I know about topping, fimming and tieing down the branches, but is there some other/better techniques?

LST Good day! I have a question for experienced growers who've used LST. The stem usually branches out to 2 branches, one of which is just one big leaf and the other branch has nodes & other branches. Do you put the branch with the big leaf below the rest, above or prune it? Thx!
