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.

Bending branch I decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons. Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, results

Does it look good in your eyes, was it too much, not enough or maybe too early / too late? And what should I do next? Thanks :)))

Supercropping So I supercroped a few branches to keep canopy even. With 2 maybe 3 weeks left will that do anything for bud size and density? Anyone familiar with this technique?!? I tried it earlier on and definitely got more bud sites

I know I said I'm out of grow space. But this plant is a complete bonsai I messed up good I think lol. If I keep her in veg?Quick question...could I turn this bad girl into a mother plant? If I keep her in veg and clone, plant her outside. Or make a grow tent just for her? The main stalk is twisted like hell and I'm continuing the pull around the pot...

Topping and LST (Not autos) I've topped before, but was wondering can you achieve the same yield just LSTing without topping, or is it best to do both? I know there's lots of info online but i feel more reassured listening to you guys lol, cheers

Broke Stem branch while main-lining Now it's standing straight up to heal It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect? Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining? Should I just release the other branch? Or wait until it's healed and continue? Thanks for your tips and inputs!
