Hello my friend, how are you? I only grow autoflowering strains and in my diary, I've practiced several techniques on totally different strains. On some, I've combined multiple techniques like on my Gorilla Glue from FastBuds where I notably did some LST, topping, and pinching of the apex. On my Bubble Gum, due to pinching the apices, its flowering started very late (53 days). I even had to force it to flower by giving it cane molasses (a teaspoon in addition to my nutrients), but wanting too much from it led to a lock-out! The predefined lifespan of autoflowering strains doesn't allow us to push the different growing techniques too much. The most suitable for yield is undoubtedly LST for me. May the force be with you 💪

@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.
