Auto topping thread,pushing the auto limits;)

Good day growers im a master photo and auto grower.but my passion is with autoflower seeds.i been on a mission for 5 years growing now trying diffrent methods of training on autos to see what they truly behold.truth is autos aint no diffrent to a normal plant other than they flower on there own.u can top lst supercrop and defol autos with monster results if done at the correct time.oviously every plant is diffrent so always use the seed info as a rough guide and a short plant can yield just as much as a tall plant in this thread i will show u all along the way of the true limits of autos and there true potential as i grow them for u all to see.also if ur an auto grower who likes to push the limits,do speak up and all pics of ur autos and talk and all questions welcome on pushing the auto limits.here a few examples of the results achived topping an auto young followed by later lst.few heavy defols along the way ,gives u an army of dominant colas and a big heavy yield.and a beautiful plant.here is automazar topped and lstd

Tomorrow I'm going to try LST for first time on my first plant. I just want to make sure I understand everything before I do.

Here's my game plan and please let me know if I'm right.
So assuming yellow line is where stem meets soil I want to tie around area of red line to support stem and roots while tieing around area of blue line in opposite direction? I want top of plant to try and be horizontal and the direction I bend it should be to minimize growth on underside so as much of plant as possible gets light?

Plant is around 22ish days and about 6 days since my failed FIM attempt.

Just hit the link in my previous comment. Shows exactly.what u wana know.just lstd 2 girls and pics of how I did it.hope this helps.happy growing every1

Are you finishing in that pot? I plant my beans off to the side so that I have more room to grow across the pot. I think topping may be ok it will give you options s to go left and right with the 2 leaders. Yes to red and blue. I would pull the top forward and the 2 bottom branches the opposite direction. I would have the 2 lower branches ultimately meet close together. as other branches develop bring them back in the direction of the 1st 2. At the end you will have 10 or 12 main branches circling your pot.
In photo top is in the foreground. Topping actually failed on this plant. Ended up with one leader. Kinda ok though. Slowed it down a little. Easier to control.

Also you will end up with a crapload of cola sites inside of the perimeter. I love the short bushy strains. I am growing a Sour Kush which seems less bushy and more leggy than any of my previous girls. Looking forward to the challenge.
She is beautiful by the way. Good job so far.

Last night I just bent over the main stem and tonight I'll check to see how she looks and start arranging the other branches to maximize light penetration to all parts.
