Autoflower training question

According to the plant in pics called "HST on the later seedling" what growth should I expect in this situation since I haven't topped the plant on this scrog? Please note the plant height would otherwise outgrow my tent.

Welcome to GD. Let me help you here. You are currently doing LST (low stress training) with a SCROG net. SCROG stands for screen of green. The idea is to keep your canopy even and have the plants spreader evenly as possible without compromising much of vertical growth, HST (high stress training) is more stress to the plants, especially auto flowers, because you are snapping branches to reshape them and also trying to save vertical growth too. As long as you keep your plants tucked under your SCROG net, it will spread evenly and then eventually flower itself. Once it goes through the stretch phase right before budding phase, you don’t worry about LST anymore because then it will only focus on budding. I hope this helps!

Maryjane pretty well summed it up quite nicely. I just thought I'd add in that without the topping you should expect that main node to be your primary node and to grow the most. I topped all plants on my Scrog, mostly just so I could make those 2 nodes grow away from each other… I'm finding with 2 plants and a 36"X36" screen that one plant is probably enough. I was running out of horizontal growth... Maybe you run into the same issue maybe not. I'm on hydro so things grow a bit faster. Anyways it's looking great and coming along nicely... Happy growing :)
