Day 5 since lst

[new grower rory]

It’s been five days since I done my first ever lst training on my first ever autoflower grow how are they looking as any other advice on anything else I’m doing would be a great help oh and they are 38 days old how long before they show signs of flowers???

Oh and I always have topped them

They should be showing preflowers by now but the late topping may have delayed that by a few days (I could be wrong) ..Here's a good post that describes when and what you should be expecting. https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/life-cycle-of-autoflowering-cannabis.243982/

Noooo! You don't top them- yikes! Autos have a short life span and topping them stresses them out (big time). LST means Low STRESS Training, you bend down branches! Just finish growing them out and no more chopping branches!

OP what’s the pot size? That looks kind of small. But it could be the pic. I wouldn’t suggest topping your first grow there are so many more important things to worry about. Like not overwatering, ph, etc.

obviously it’s too late for that. But keep spreading your branches as much as they will go to even out all your tops. Not all at once but a little each day if they are stiff.

Please stop spreading rumors based on what you've heard and not experienced first hand. There's a ton of people that top autos and there's no problems. https://www.autoflower.net/forums/threads/auto-topping-thread-pushing-the-auto-limits.57281/

As an auto breeder for 14+ years, yes certain strains can be lightly topped. That wasn't lightly. Oh well.

I am going to be honest, your plants should be way bigger than what you have now. But that’s ok. You’ve created a hobby plant not a production plant.
You played and the plant hasn’t responded with vigorous growth, so you learn and grow again. Keep going it will eventually go into full flower and give you something. But there is no reason you can’t top an auto at least once. But do so when you have the growth
