Topping or just LST?

I am at day 14 and unsure if I should top this lady or just LST. She is already showing some pistils and I don't think she will grow really tall. What do you guys think?

Hey man. Had a wee glance at your diaries. Looking good At this stage. I feel unless you know the strain (clones) or just the traits. Maybe top. Depending what you want to do. LST, she's a bit young. You could tie her 3/4 up like in a / more 75 degree or lower and train her as she vegs more. This is great for autos. Topping autos not so much. The LST sideways I've always gotten big autos from that as it's side a sideways canopy where you can make sure the nodes get a more even light up and down each node. Bur general LST isn't needed until you come into the stretch or pre flower stages. Just make sure all parts of your plants leaves are being hit with light. Rotating the pots every once in a while helps with static lights.. Feel free to DM me if you need help or explanation. It's pretty straightforward with autos imo. Less is more and any stress is bad.

High Cauli, ONLY LST!!! You do NOT top an autoflower, this does increase the yield. They do not have enough time to recover. What you want to do is to use LST and bend all the buds that grow higher then others down. When you've got every bud at the same heigt you want to bend them in a shape that the leaves do not stack on eachother. And when you look from above you want the plant as a screen of green. The ideal plant does not let light get wasted and the light from the lamp should not reach the ground. But you want enough space in between leaves that they are not stacked on each other, blocking airflow and stop moist from escaping. So bend the plant in a shape that all the buds grow on the same height, receiving the same amount of light from the lamp and all grow equally fat, sticky and juicy! Happy Growing Buddy! 💚
