Will the branch recover from a crack?
Accidentaly cracked one branch during the LST. Should I let it as it is and wait for it to recover, or should I remove the branch completely? She is an autoflower Royal Bluematic in the 3rd week of veg. Thanks for the tips :)

Royal Creamatic training
What kinda training would you recommend for this strain? RQS say it tends to 'grow one big main bud with just a few small branches,' so would it still make sense to do LST here?

When should I LST and add Nutrients?
Wanted to low stress train this plant if I am able too.I am not really sure when to start, does the plant look old enough to begin introducing this technique? Should I wait another week? Also when should I start feeding the plant nutrients? It’s still growing pretty fast.

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic here
Is it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

What are my chances of a cutting that was only meant to be stretched with LST, string surviving without any root products. Its placed directly into a grow cube, with water and then the mini greenhouse. I have a perfect LED grow light gently willing it on. WILL IT SURVIVE???

Too many buds because of LST? A yield full of popcorn buds??
Should I cut off more buds to get a higher yield? I am afraid, that she will develope too many popcorn buds. Or is she looking allright and I can get a good yield without stressing her any more? (She is in her third flowering week)

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?

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?)?
