In my experience she only looks small if she is over 20 days looks fine if she is 15 days old. I’m currently in the situation of looking small for 20 days old. I’ve had 10 day old plants bigger than my 20 day old. Although I stunted my plants so they are only now recovering after 1 week. Patience is key at every stage of the grow if you want the best results, from seed to dry and cure. You can LST now the side branches will shoot up. Best thing to do is after a few hours after you water she will be more bendy! :)

Hello! With autos, the general rule is: only top if there are 4-5 pairs of true leaves by the end of Week 2 (according to GrowWeedEasy.com). LST is a safe choice no matter your situation so I'd go with that if I were you. It's probably safe to start now with LST by the looks of it. There are some great tutorials on Youtube if it's your first time. Best of luck!

I've done both with my autos in the past, both with good results. But I'd recommend a FIM pinch instead of topping, this is a lot less stressful to the plant but still produces similar results with more bud sites. LST is always a good idea regardless of any other training techniques. Have fun!👍

I’d agree with Michka too - if topping wait for that latest leaf set to fully develop and make the call then. That said, it’s an auto and you won’t have much time before flower and might stress her out. If you go the lst route you avoid the stress concerns and can start training her now. ALTERNATIVE - you could also try fimming her now which would cause less stress than topping and get similar results. If it were me, I’d go with straight lst or fim it now. Following along and hope it helps - good luck!!!

Hi there ! She looks ok for 3weeks, anyway i would wait a little bit before topping, as she will get a lot of stress it's always better to wait until 5 or 6 nodes are here... I hope i helped you !

Do you defoliate your autos.Wanting to get other opinions on defoliation for autos. Do you do it? How much if so? From what I've read, some people do and some don't. I think the reasoning I read not to defoliate is that you want to limit stress on autos due to their determinate grow period. Thanks, cheers!Week 4

Defoliation and are they doing well?Day #31
I took big fans leaves off from the bottom that weren't getting any or much light and some near the top covering some bud sights.
I will start using fish mix & topmax when they arrive.
What distance should I have the light from canopy and when should defoliate again?
