Iwill start in looking on your Plant, she grows very Vigor, but the internodial distance is very small. So you may need a week longer to start with her LST. Nearly every Plant responds very Well to LST, its a stressless tool to expose the potential budsites to the Light , to have a better penetration and growth.Your Girls needs to have alonger stm to Start LST, so i would chek the distance to the LIghts and give her more distance/ lower Power. So the Plant stretches more in the Search for LIght. That is going to take only a few days and you will be able to start LST on her next Week.If she continues to grow vigor, you can think in topping her too. It always depends in the single Plant if you use the " topping Tool". But LST i recommend in every case. happy growing

Hey man the LST is the easy way to manipulate the girls in just about any grow set up indoor or outdoors . Indoors you will get better light penetration across the whole canopy ensuring no wasted light or energy.outdoors it works to but the light penetration outdoors is more intense and deeper penetrating so it is more beneficial in the indoor setup . My gorilla glue and OG Kush were both done with LST one is outdoor the other was indoor they were started with LST when the 4th node was developed . Your girls would be good too just with autoflowers they don't always respond well to this technique and it could possibly cause a loss in yield use it slowly and properly and you'll be happy with results ...cheers

I always recommend at least doing lst. Even if a plant is a slow grower then gently bending the stem is not going to hurt it. It is going to increase your yield and help fill up all the available space in your grow room. I always take mine further than that with topping and hard training. And this is just my personal preference. I know a lot of things that work for one person dont always work for others. My thought are why have one main cola when there is a possibility to have ten or more.... best of luck on the grow however you decide to treat her!

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!2 months ago

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Remove lower branches on this grow?Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.4 years ago

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.4 years ago

Are the girls ready for flower??Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

Should I do defoliation ? Hulk Berry Auto - 5th WeekHi guys !
My plant is growing so far so good but I feel like she could gain a little bit more height and I could end with a better result with bigger yield if I cut some of the small leaves in the bottom of the plant
Any advice ?
Where should I cut ?
