MrStinkyanswered grow question 3 years ago

For a first grow either let them fly or LST them for a potential harvest increase, topping an auto can cause issues but they do look healthy....may sound counter intuitive but if you defo wanna do it but topping the biggest healthies plant at the 5th node would be your best bet.

Training Automatics - best practices!Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you! (Pic pretty unrelated, it's my last Mimosa EVO)

Time to top?Is it time to top? I feel like I need a little bit more stretching first. Maybe even allow another node to develop? When should I top in relation to feeding/watering and lights out?

Topping question....I want to continue training according to the "topping" method, but I have a question ... Tell me, please, who knows. I want to prune all 4 colas on each plant to bifurcate them. Can I do this one day? Or should it be done intermittently?

Topping question.The question is experienced. Today I cut all 4 colas into two of my plants to bifurcate them. I have read many articles and watched many YouTube videos, but there is no definitive information. Will this increase yields and help fill the skrog net? Or was it not worth it?
