Are my 2 auto’s at a stage where I should be topping them?

SupportiveMangostarted grow question 3 years ago

Are my plants at the stage where I should be either topping or trying out some LST? First time grower here, so not sure if I should be doing any training, just to see how it goes. Any help would be super appreciated!

I usually lst about day 20. I have a diary called Larry lemon og auto. I did a daily picture from seed to smoke after lst. Was a qp auto. I don't recommend topping due to it is too much stress for a auto to recover from. They are on a limited time schedule and wanna avoid slowing them down as much as possible. Good luck and happy growing 🌱

LST DAY I'm stressing over LST. I believe it is time. Going to get some materials for it now. If you look at my latest video though you notice my first plan stem is super thick already at 19 days, did i wait too long for lst for that particular plant?

Outdoor topping?Wondering if I should top my outdoor grow. I have read both directions. Topping will make bushier and seems to be the thing to do indoors. Should I top my outdoor plants? This is my first grow. Or Should I just let them be to flourish?

Top her off THEN LST?Growing a tangerine dream auto she’s a few weeks old and growing nicely. I hear this one can get large, even tho it’s an auto. So I was thinking to top the plant AND then start LST to keep her from getting too big. Does this make sense? Or LST first then top? Thanks!

Tipping or not? Be or not to be!?Hi everyone. I was thinking if can i still do the topping on my plant? . She is at the 10/11th node stage and looks tall but not bushy. Do you think will it improve the yields without harming the plant?
