LST on autos?????

Can I do LST on automatics? If so, how and when would I start to do it. Will it improve the yield?
I have just started 7 autos. I normally grow the normal(indica/sativa) strains from cuttings and you can bend, twist and do alsorts of shite to those bitches to get a bigger yield and better shaped plant, but I do not have a clue as to wether this can be achieved with autos.

Don't top as you probably know because of no time for good recovery. Otherwise I would say go for it.

LST'ing autos for the first few weeks, even a week or two into flower, is fine. They can recover from that as long as you aren't going crazy. Do not top your plant. Yes, It can be done but your yield with be dramatically smaller as it cannot recover from the stress in such a short time. You might get a moron or two in here that say topping autos is fine. Do not listen to them.

i had a sweet dwarf which fell over while wTering,i stood it back up and was growing the nxt day,however the plant topped its self prolly from stress or bad genetics,any how i lstd with a tape method i saw on youtube, just youtube lst its called 420 GROWING GUIDE GUY,oro sumn, any,ways it made 4 tops,1 was shorter,so i taped the other three colas,i did so by grabbing the second to highest fan leaf and bending the branch to the nearest side of the bucket N secured it with scotch tape,only tape the end so if it rips its only the tip,the results were stunning,the three colas topped again and now have 16 bud sites on one original top cola,the other 2 have about 8,its kinda like scrogging without the net
