SurlyMahnstarted grow question 4 years ago

Any outdoor auto growers out there? What do you recommend for increasing yield? Topping? FIMing? Go au naturale/nothing? Still a couple of weeks before flowering stage.

I’ve got a zkittlez autoflower from ILGM outdoor right now. First time having one outdoor, and I’m really not big on autos at all anymore but wanted to see the growth and results of one outdoors. I also agree to stay away from topping or HST unless you know the genetics and are experienced with it. I just did standard LST by bending/training down the whole main stem and allowing nodes to have direct light. That’s what I would recommend. GSCE from ILGM looks to take well to training and seems to be a vigorous grower and flowerer.

Hi mate, with autos I believe you are best to leave them alone and not do anything high stress. Since autos are on a timer you dont want to do anything that will pause the growth. Especially if you are new to growing them. Hope this helps 🙂

LST rookie Wondering about LST. I tried it this week. Its "outgrown" it. I wonder if I tie down the new growth and continue it horizontal? or move the tie down further up the plant to the end? I'm worried that on 2 trees I just "slanted" them and its not really a 90ish angle, is that ok?

Is this yellowing normal? Probably because of LST?I am growing my plant with LST and some of the lower fan leaves have been moved down in the shadow. Is this the reason why those leaves are getting yellow and dry? All the rest of the leaves look very green and healthy by the way.

Defoliating autoflower What are your thoughts on defoliating autoflowers? Some of the larger fan leaves are shading the lower flowers and I’m wondering whether to could get rid of them. I’ve read conflicting information on this topic.

LST on rigid main stem I think I should have started with LST sooner. The main stem is rather rigid now. Unfortunately, I was away during Week 3. Would you recommend gradually pulling it sideways or better to leave it alone at this stage?
