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?)?

With Autoflowers you want to avoide as much stress to the plant as possible because you are on a set time of growth before its flower. Topping is considered stressful to the plant. However, some people do this and have good success. Personally I always LST my Autoflowers and they turn out amazing. If I were you, I would simply pull down the plant to level out the canopy and keep pulling down the branches as they grow. This will open it up and cause more branches to get better light and in return produce amazing colas all over. You can check out my Banana Purple Punch Diary to see how I LST my plants and then what they grew up to be. I hope this helps.

LST 100%, topping autos can be detrimental and make a situation turn for the worst. Some reference points below. The person who writes the blogs is not sways on the ball so grain of salt with it all. growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-low-stress-training-lst-on-cannabis-plants growdiaries.com/journal/ultimate-guide-to-lst-cannabis growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-lst-cannabis-a-simple-guide https://2fast4buds.com/news/can-i-use-topping-on-autoflowering-cannabis-plants Good Luck!

I also forgot to mention if you end up topping, that is the best spot to do it at. ( where you pointed to)
