only with healthy plants, thats one. do all manipulations before watering, that way less breaks, most lanky plants will allow you to bend them easy. readjust daily, tuck leaves, expose side branches to light , form nice and even canopy in flower after final strech over, do clearing and lolipoping. autos dont love harm, but once, if plant is healthy , you should do. see my diaries, i grow 3 autos now.

The LST you can do from day 1 is no big deal you just need to move the branches to get light. Lollipop for photo am doing this before starting the flower and for auto, I start week 2 to week 4 in flowering slowly 🧚‍♀️ btw when the plant enters week 5 flower do not touch it anymore 🍻

LST can start as early as week 2 or so, as soon as you have enough height you can start bending over. Continues through veg but stops once in flower. Lollipopping comes later, about mid-flower.

I found autoflowers do best with lst. You should not defoliate a autoflower unless it is getting way to bushy. Also you should not top them, as they don't have time to recover properly from it. I do lollipop the plants in flowering to cut back on the smaller undeveloped stuff at bottom from growing. Autoflowers do best in a Hydro application like growing in a coco/perlite mix or dwc. 👍🏻

First Grow Help And Feedback Hello Grower, OG Kush Flower Day 24: Lollipopped and defoliated 10 days ago. Can/should I defoliate again? The buds seem like they could get more light. Also, I noticed some sprinkles on the top leaves—could this be from too much P/K? Any tips and general feedback are welcome!

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

Defoliation Autoflower Hey fellow growers, How should I approach defoliation with autoflowers during flowering? I'm thinking of removing lower leaves, especially near the soil. I prefer to be cautious to avoid mistakes. Reddit wasn't helpful as it seemed too critical. I hope for better insights here.

How and when to train?Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?
