LST aka WTF am I doing?

Hey op, obviously a bunch of rooks are here telling you what they do and what works for them. Lots of lousy info. Especially people that tell someone growing their first plant, which happens to be an AUTO, that topping and training is a good thing.
Quit bending that plant and see if it will finish. Auto’s don’t get very tall and as a rule, especially for noobs, don’t fuck with em.

yes dont train its an auto go for a cristmass tree one top to rule them all

I wouldn't fim. It is very unpredictable and I find it slows plant growth too much. Also since you are growing autos do not top it. If height does become an issue and only if it is an issue then a bit of LST could help you control that.

Thanks for the feedback-I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you mean the main branch? Any chance you could label or describe what you’re talking about?

red is low tie to main stalk, blue is where you are now. Green desired effect to main stem

I’m pretty sure that’s what wattzzup was relating

Thanks!!!

depends how much she can bend but if you do it often she can bend all the way to the ground.and dont worry few times you go overboard you just did a bad suppercrop she will survive.if you started too late you can supercrop her then tie down

Idk how others manage to allow the main branch to grow more but they don't in my tent, check any of my posted photos you'll see they're all equal and level.

I don't have a problem with topping but let's keep it real regarding tying over and not start bro science bs.

You're welcome to guess which is tied, which is topped and which untouched they're 2-3rd wk into flower.

Looking nice stardog .

Thanks bud i appreciate your comment

“ First timers “ - let it grow as intended ( get it to finish line without techniques you are not sure about.

Then after a few solid runs begin to look at LST ( which is hands down the minimum a grower should do to an auto ). Leggy sativa autos often need to be “ tamed and trained “ but most can hit 36” or better in size. Ive had certain autos push over 5 foot so its possible to get a good size from autos.

They will grow in typical xmas tree shape with dominant Apical top flower. Some strains will grow a single cola ( dwarf ryders and such ) good for simple SOG runs.
