Really appreciate the advice :) I have decided to go for LST and have to say it is pretty scary bending the plant for the first time... I will post a photo in the diary... All feedback welcome...

Hi there :) I have a rather different opinion than the two guys before me. First of all topping is hst, bending branches to spread out the plant is lst. I'd recommend it every time you grow plants to build bigger buds especially on lower branches. Topping autos is also always an option, especially if you grow in hydroponics where recovery is instant instead of several days. I topped all my autos with good to great results (just check out some of my diaries). You (ot the other guys) can't tell me that 70g of dry premium buds out of an automatic strain after a few training methods (lst and hst) is not enough when most guys here on GD don't even get 30g out of photoperiods. It's just a matter of reading your plants and trying to adjust at all times ;)

Hi @CoachieWoachie Lemon Haze usually is a creeper. I would LST for sure but I wouldn't top it in your case. Topping is HST. Best to bend it in a way you have most secondary braches stand parallel to the ground instead of against it (as you try you'll visualize it) . You can check my diary as I have pictures of my ties ;) Best to bend it between waterings instead of the same day you water it as it will bend easier when not soaked.

Hey CoachieWoachie, You can choose if you want too :) But i would advise LTS but there are many ways to do so :) 1. Top it and do LTS with just 2 side stems ( Never top if you have a autoflower) 2. In your case since you have an autoflower, just bend it over easyly with a copperdread or with a flex tie and do not top your plant :) Or Just leave it as is but you will harvest a little less and your lower buds will not develope well. Good luck growing :)
