What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?

Chimkenstarted grow question 4 years ago

I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?

Hi @Chimken automatics detest stress, before you start defoliation let it recover from the stress of topping 7-10 days. start to make the defoliation slowly, a day a little, after 2/3 days do a little more so as not to delay the plant. good luck mate 💪👍🙏

In my opinion you are totally one to do some light defoliation !! We do to our autos! But be gentle and only take a couple at a time so you don’t induce flower!! I grow every plant in 3’s top 1 FIM 1 and the other I just let it go!! The buds from the topping just get huge colas compared to the ones I don’t!! Good luck 👍🍀 on your growing journey

Autoflower topping?... and if so, when is best?My friend is recommending that I top at the fifth node with the knowledge I'm growing autos. However, many grower's here discourage it completely for autos. What's the best practise? I've never topped so this may need spelling out for me. Thanks in advance ✂️

To prune or not to prune?Hello guys. A beginner question here. Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom. If I have to cut them when would be the best time? I'll leave this question open until Friday.
