    Yes you can LST (Tie branches down) but i've heard you can't top autoflowers to i wouldnt risk topping her or anything

    You can defin lst autos. But make sure u give as little stress as possible to avoid stunted growth or even becoming hermie.

    I would reccomend that u just try to.lst half of ur plants. That way u can do a trial and error type of thing n see if its something u can do again in the future.

    How much height have you got? I have about 4ft in height and wasn't considering LSTing but maybe I need to? I am probably going to be doing lowryders which are supposed to stop at about a foot and a half.

    Ive heard u should generally lst starting at a younger age ot u risk.snapping branches. For somethi g of that height look into super cropping

    No prob man. Thats what were all here for. U should try to FIM ur plants sometime! Its pretty cool what u can do to a plant to make it produce more.

    If u ever have time check my grow journals out. My hawaiian skunk journal from last year has some lst'd plants both auto and photoperiod. This years journal is "all autoflowers"
