New Grower Autoflower Training techniques

[Bub Veiser]

Hi everyone,


I have been here for a little while, but hardly haven't posted anything yet.

I am slightly confused while reading divided opinions about autoflower Training and after initial searching haven't found anything to cheer me up, hence posting this post.

I saw one brave guy years ago posted such article, but he isn't here anymore as tried to pm him.

I am running perpetual grow of few autos, begging was really tuff as used uk tap water, nightmare.
Since got reverse osmosis now all goes fine, but not really educated still in plants training methods. I did some lst,topping etc.
Wondering what is right to be applied to autos and what is not.
Would be worth having a topic full of creative opinions and guidance.
I did some heavy defoliation to my 3rd week veg sour diesel and after 2 days see him back on the track with new leaves.Here i would admit as did it in way of curiosity, not too sure if this doesn't cause grow to slow down?
I would appreciate, so probably the most of not-completly educated growers what would be the right way to deal with plants.
Glad to see opinions from both sides - do's and don't s.
Many thanks.

Green all the way.

Well as far as I have seen there is not a lot you can't do to a Auto with good genetics!
@budelee and @autobeast threads will definitely prove it.
So far I have done a successful topping and Scrog (kind of) and loads of LST. But I have seen loads of HST as well. I tried a FIM but failed although the plant did not loose more than a day to recover.

Hey man, nice to meet you.. if you're looking to twist and bend and top you should really check out @budelee his thread on mainlining and HST has got it all in there.

Heres a LST thread for you https://www.autoflower.org/threads/low-stress-training-guide-descriptions-and-pictures.57314/

Does topping makes better results instead of lst technics and let the rest grow out the stem?

There are some things undisputed still,honestly.
Literally 50/50 to do such training and other half to not do.
Would be essential to have few words from someone that grew auto's for a longer period and tried it all methods.

Maybe @Green75 can share some thoughts, his specialty is mainlining, when i grow i usually have two of the same strains, one gets hst the other stays natural...a low stress method may give more final yield since there is no stress/shock to the plant, the High stress topping/scrog methods will provide more vertical/height control when/if needed, there are other factors like light, nutes, strain, and skill level of the grower that will affect final outcome...
