Are my 2 auto’s at a stage where I should be topping them?
SupportiveMangostarted grow question 5y 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 🌱

When to start 12/12Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top.
So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.4y ago

Did I wait too long to top?I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed.
The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend.
My question is, did I wait too long to top?

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds).
The description says SCROG and LST work good.
I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier.
I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations.
Should I?

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think.
I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

Tropicana bananna-стресс или моя ошибкаHello guys
Help....
700W LED Full spectrum IS IT TRUE?!?!..
Tropicana banana - week 11, growth has stopped,
fertilizer - florra trio (according to the chart), could it be that I got stress during LST? Or during topping?
The main thing! I don't know when to switch to 12/12. This is my first photoperiod.

Topping or LST after 1st toppingLast week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too.
I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?
