I know I said I'm out of grow space. But this plant is a complete bonsai I messed up good I think lol. If I keep her in veg?
Quick question...could I turn this bad girl into a mother plant? If I keep her in veg and clone, plant her outside. Or make a grow tent just for her? The main stalk is twisted like hell and I'm continuing the pull around the pot...

Switching to flowering nutrients (autoflower)
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to when I should start switching these critical purple autoflowers to flowering nutes? As I understand it should be a few weeks after preflowers start? Hard to tell when vertical growth slows when doing LST. This is my first grow ever!

Should i take off the hooks (LST)
Someone here told me that it is not fair to lay the girls on the ground as i did, because the leaves touches the soil. Should i set them free to go up and continue the LST once the plant is some centimetres up? Or should i leave it like this and keep going? I dunno what to do.

When You recommend to start LST?
So, it is the question: when? I wanted to train them few times already, but scarring to broke yong trunks always stops me. Maybe I should wait more time to them produce heavy crone? What do You think about it?

Is LST a Good idea for those autoflo ?
Should i try LST on some of those ladies or should i just let them be ? (Not right now but within the 2 next weeks). I saw it was possible to make LST on autoflo in the first 3 weeks but is it really gonna mate the crop bigger or is it just gonna stress the plant ?

Should I use a training technique on any of my autos or just get a successful grow to harvest for my first grow? If so when should I do this? Are there any stress techniques that should not be used on autos?
