Help with LST or potential early flowering of Auto

Something has gone crazy, from your diary there's nothing way out of whack listed but she sure didn't want to grow for you, must be a genetic issue. My autos have always performed just as my photos but with photos you have more time to learn and recover from problems. I only grow in soil, never used this medium but her look is healthy. Hate to say it but she won't produce any bud, she's already been through the stretch with pistils forming and is only a couple inches tall. Growing weed is not a fly by night endeavor, proper equipment and knowledge come with experience. Good luck

Yeah, this one is not going to be great :D. I'd say cut your losses on this one, and watch the light cycle on the next plant. Make sure she gets 16h of light minimum in the veg cycle and 12 in flower. That way the plant will not start to flower early. Normally you would start LST on the 4th or 5th node, when the plant is about 20cm high. Rooting for you!

Bom dia, deduzindo que seja fotoperiodica, dado que ela esta demasiado pequena e a produzir flores, acho que deve rever um aspecto muito importante, a distancia da lampada a planta nas primeiras semanas. Na minha opinião, agora eu aproximaria a lampada da planta para uns 35 cm e aumentava para 18h/20h para forçar a revegetar...É um processo demorado mas talvez seja a melhor forma de recuperar essa planta, pois de outra forma não prevejo uma grande colheita.

don't bother.. this plant doesn't have time to grow to make any serious training worthwhile. just spread the branches out as best you can and that will be enough. This looks like a runt (genetics) more than user-error

3-4 grams dried at the very best.............is it worth waiting another 8-10 weeks for that?? Can't see any point in doing training now, it is not going to magically increase yield by a quantifiable amount. Grow photoperiod fems next time, that way you control when flowering occurs. Don't believe the auto-flower hype.

Hey mate! You can definitely start LST right now. Even though she's starting to show pre-flowers/pistils (which is totally normal for an auto this size), she's still flexible enough to bend gently. Just anchor the main stem down carefully to open up the canopy and let more light hit those lower sites. Don't wait too long or the stem will get too woody and stiff. Happy growing! 🌱

Iv trained my plants while she was flowering to keep a level canopy. yours is in pre flower by looks of it. On both of my grows Iv waited until around 12-15cm to train or 5/6 nodes showing before I tried lst but everyone has their own way of doing things. You’ll find your. Best of luck 🌱
