when to do low stress training on autoflower

But what do i know lol.....not much

Well heres how they r doing i started by supporting base then pulling over the tops im not even sure if im doing it right...I only did ot to 4 right now the others im gunna wait, what ya think? also the 3 that r a lil smaller were started like 4 days later

Looks alright bro ..... Just as long as you got em where you want em before flower kicks in you good. They get brittle when they flip

Trying to but they r so stout and think they dont like moving been doing a lil more every other day

Lst your autos early as possible,they will reward you,trust me.Here is my Super skunk auto,day 33,starting to flower.I lst her from the start

Looking bushy where did u get the mylar blanket been trying to get a couple

Grow shops have this,black and white,5,6 € m2

walmart carries the survival blankets ..... they are pretty thin but come 2 in a pack .... loud as hell when it gets to crinkling in a fan

Do u think ots even worth putting up

ya but you gotta put it up right or it will just shred need to cut little circles from cereal box cardboard and staple them every foot or so and stretch the film tight ...... flat white paint is a lot less hassle and more or less the same results

Looking alright so far

lush mine is due for some LST on fri I cant wait

There is a million ways to lst,get a vision how you want your plant to look,practice training until the plant looks like the one in your head.I know this sounds kinda..."preachy",but it really helps.Ive never seen an auto flower in 14 days it varies plant to plant but in roughly 25-40 days is about the norm.One of the easiest lst techniques you can do to start out is to just tie down all the lateral branches to open the center of the plant up.Fimming them can be useful in my experience of you do it soon enough (by the 3rd node) to control vertical growth and there is also ponytailing the top growth to stimulate lateral growth.Topping or supercropping is a no go in my experience,too much recovery time to be useful on autos.Training needs to start as soon as possible depending on the strength of the plant 2nd or 3rd node.You want some stretching for training if your nodes are packed to close together you can raise the lights to stretch them,then lower lights back down when the tops are where you want them.

Whats your take on when to start and when to stop ?do u think its too late to start on my other 5 plants jist the 4 in the middle i did

Start 2nd or 3rd node,once the plant goes into flower and stretches,its effectivley frozen and you will have to live with what you created.For me personally its not an option to not LST,although that wasnt always the case.For me the training is the best part of this,making the plant grow like you envision it.

I believe im just startong to stretch

I see one plant that looks like its been trained somewhat,it has 5 tops.drill a hole in the top edge of your bucket to tie off too.

@resin
thanks for that i will leave em for another week before i commence with any LST or between 2nd n 3rd node the pic below is of last night

Well did some more training think this might be my last time besides maybe some spreading

Did 5 didnt do 4 kind of an experiment wich will produce more lst or no lst
