I personally like to save topping for photoperiod plants. When it comes to autos I like to use LST to increase top production 🌱
GrowCNanswered grow question 3 years ago
I do not top auto's. Instead when they get their 4th or 5th node I start low stress training. With photo plants I will often top after the 5th node.

I’d personally top at the 4th node seeing at it is an auto and grows so rapidly .

Hi there. With this being an auto if you want to top then now is the time. Take off the top after the 5th set of nodes.

To cut or not to cut ?Hi buddies, my girl is in the 2' bloom week and I'm uncertain if I have to cut the flowers of the lower part of the buds or not. I want only dense buds and not lollipops. Here 3 pics: the flowers are circled in red, the branch from bottom in blu and the whole bud. Many thx 🙏

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

Temperature too High, Can’t bring down.This is my first indoor grow and I’m having problems keeping the temp down from the higher 80’s while I have my light on, and I’m just barely hitting 79 when it’s off. Starting to get concerned as my seeds are just beginning to sprout and i don’t want them to endure any stress.

When stop LST?First time grower here. Have been doing LST, and it seems to work well. I've just spotted pistols, so she is starting to flower now. So my question is, should I stop LST? Should I remove the (padded) wires? Or, when do I stop? Or should I keep LST until I harvest the flowers?Techniques. LST
