@OnBudNem, Yes of course, but the apical dominance would have considerably weakened the lateral colas; the main cola would have risen so high that the others would have produced less and surely popcorn buds at the bottom of the plant because of the distance of the lamps. Here, the speed of the strain forced me to choose a single and quick manipulation, but with a less vivacious autoflowering, a double cut to obtain 8 colas instead of 4 is quite imaginable :v:

Could you have kept the first node growing from the center and still do the cross lst like you did? I’m really interested because I’m currently germinating an auto flower and this seems like a pretty cool and easy grow method

@@@@Billyandbarb,Of course; this session is the 26th in my short career, and only the 7th where I have practiced such intense stress. I've been through low stress and no stress at all, and so far I have to say that HST has given me the best results :ok_hand: I continue to look for the right balance to optimise the autos

Do you ever wonder how "well" the plant would have done had it just been let go with a prune or a lollipop? And not endure any high stress or deficiencies??

@FastBro, thx :blush:

I'm watching you bro because I'm very curious how it all ends:the_horns::skin-tone-2:
