Darkness pre harvest
Has anyone had success giving their plant darkness before harvest? If so, what percentage of amber do you like to see before shutting out the light?

Is my LST done right?
Hi and TIA, following the advice I got from my last question, I decided to do some LST so I bend the main stem... my question is if I did it right? Also should I water my plant after this kind of stress? And lastly I did it just before the lights went out, is that OK?

Should I Train?
This is my first time growing an auto flowering strain. I’ve heard mixed opinions about training them. My question is are there any truly beneficial training techniques for auto flowering strains?

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?
Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

Auto training techniques lst/hst/topping
Just about to start a few auto flowers, will be my second auto grow. Any tips for best training methods? I know lst is most popular but any recommendations on which one works best? Also any advice on topping? Lots of people say don’t but lots of growers seem to do this. Thanks!

Training Plants to early ?
I have 1 plant that towers above the others, should I already tie it down with LST? Should I bend the whole plant or the shoots? or is that too early for the plant on DAY 14?

Is doing LST and Topping at once okay?
Hello, I'm considering doing LST and topping at the same time. Is it okay for the ladies or is it too much stress at once?

To LST or not to LST … that is the question
Should I LST?? I’m growing ILGM OG Kush auto flower. I know I probably should, but part of me wants to just let her rip and see what happens all natural. However I’m in a small tent (18x18x56) and the website says the plants usual height is about 40 inches. What would you do?

LST during flower?
LST during flower? I'm pretty happy with the size and shape of them, except PPP3! However I'm not sure if I should continue to keep them as short as possible, or let them just grow up now. I've never used LST before, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is my LST relevant at this point of growth ?
This NL is about 3-4 weeks ; I only tied up the top of the plant to the side of the pot. Let me know what you think about it

How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?
Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

Thoughts?
Should I be concerned or do something differently? The plants all seem to be very small height wise, but otherwise doing well.

Zdarec, přemýšlím nad tím že dále bych pokračoval s metodou SCROG. Kdy a jak s metodou nejlépe začít? A má to vůbec smysl v mém stanu 45x45x120 cm ? Děkuji za každou reakcí 😉 . Mír

Have I ruined it?
Is this plant saveable? I’ve completely snapped the main stem while doing LST. I’ve put a small stake in the stem to hold it together and taped in up. Is she likely to recover or should I just start again?

Make LST or not?
Is it better to continue with defoliation only and switch lights 20th of January, or make some lst now and let her evolve longer (until the end of January...)? She had topping already💀
