Lots of growers train their auto flowers. She might be fragile but she can take a beating! Check out my first grow! I gave one an award for most used and abused. Use Low stress training if you do decide, the more popular way if going about it. Hope this helps!

You're right in not wanting to cause stress to an autoflower - they don't handle it very well - but LST is perfectly fine and does not faze an auto at all. If you can gently pull the branches out away from the main stem, you can get it to grow almost naturally - in a Christmas tree shape. This might be the best for you so you can get a feel for how it works and will allow those side flowers to get more light and therefore get bigger... Good luck...

Watering practice okay?When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.

Does anyone have experience with colas that have been severely light deprived, yet still have trichs?My ghost nug grew up on the side of the tent blocked from light. She has trichs, looks super light yellow (see pics). My question is, wouldn't this be desirable? Less chlorophyll to wait on before smoking? Has anyone tried to maybe light deprive parts of their colas?

How to optimize Outdoor Autoflower Yield?Question for the crowd - in an outside grow where vertical space isn't an issue, what's the best method to optimize yields for autoflowers? Topping seems out of the question given the nature of autoflowers, and I'm not sure what benefits LST would really give.
