Bonjour mon ami Comment vas tu ?
Je ne cultive que des autofloraisons et dans mon diarie différents tests j'ai pratiqué plusieurs techniques sur des souches totalement différentes et sur certaines j'ai combiné plusieurs techniques comme sur ma gorilla glue de chez fastbuds ou j'ai notamment gais un LST topping et pincage d'Apex. Sur ma bubble gum à force de pincer les apexs sa floraison à débuté très tardivement (53 jours) j'ai même du la forcé à fleurir en lui donnant de la mélasse de canne (une cuillère à café en plus de mes nutriments) mais à force de trop en vouloir d'elle lock-out !
La durée de vie prédéfinie des autofloraisons ne nous permet pas de trop pousser les différentes techniques de culture.
La plus appropriée pour le rendement est pour moi sans aucun doute le LST
Que la force soit avec toi 💪

@Mrs_Larimar Its definately achievable just keep in mind it will extend the grow period and could even stress it to the point of going hermie on ya
if those new strains werent stabilised properly

I don't usually top any of my plants but in my current grow I had a deformed plant which I didn't necessarily main line but I did top and gave it quite an aggressive LST.
Like mentioned above she is later to flower than the rest of her sisters.
She is catching up with the others so I suppose my answer is YES topping and LST combined have been effective and productive on my auto.
Grow strong 💪🌱💧☀️

Check out my ggg grow I did a flux on her very early and it seemed to work great! So yes it's possible, it does extend the veg time still.

Not actually done this but used to try topping some automatics. What I can tell is that the vegetation period was extended by doing that. The result was my outdoor stress killer grow, got a nice plant full of buds. She liked topping. I think main-lining is a combination of LST and tooping and could work well.

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!9 months ago

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.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Some guidance for ScrOG please@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm)
When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ?
Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones.

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now
