I like to just lst autos. Too short of a veg cycle. And the light stress of pulling the top helps them terp up little extra 🤙🏻

Under buds
Shall I leave the downer buds to be and fatten up? Or I should chop them since they don’t get “perfect” light? I got a lot of them

How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?
Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

2 seedlings, one cup.
Has anyone ever grown two autoflowering strains(different or the same strain) in one container? Other than root entanglement, what issues did you have? I assume feeding will be an issue..

Trimming in this phase?
Should I remove "buds to be" from the lower parts of the plant now? From my prev grows I've learned that this buds will stay small and puffy.

I'm 4 weeks into flower. Plant is super healthy and bushy. Want to thin it down. Can I take some cuttings to clone? Should I put the cuttings back to 18/6 or keep them at 12/12?

Supercropping
Would it be wise for me to supercrop my tallest plant right now? I may end up maxing my lights out to the highest point, but was wondering if supercropping would be wise. It will only be the top. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

How many hours does it take male pollen to pollinate a female?
I'm looking to be able to place the pollinated budsite girls back into the same grow room after pollinating with several different father strains on multiple plants. I want to make sure the girls are definitely pollinated. The attached image show the processes I plan on taking.
