Bought Easyryder seed which are obviously known for small size and yields, although looking at photos some seem so much larger than others ! just wondered if there is any way to encourage multiple colas or is it just luck?
Iv only grown autos once ( ak47 by royal queen) but I reckon you could get away with topping them if you did it early enough, like maybe 12-15 days after they sprout, that would give you more colas. I doubt it would do much to your yeild though as they are over in a flash and they arnt gonna wait to start flowering. Maybe look up lst, autos that are trained look to produce well although I have never tried it
It all really comes down to veg time. LST/ScroG/other training methods let you maximize yield for a given light and space, but you still have to let the plant get to a big enough stature that it can produce lots of flowers regardless of it's training.
I grew 20 Easyryders under 1 600w and pulled an average of 21gs off each plant in pots that were barely 2L so with bigger pots and a bit of care you could get more quite easily but i think messing with the plant to much and you will stress the plant out to much that close to flowering
