Cloning is not an option at least from what I've read. I am growing autoflowering plants

and with this post everything gets thrown out the window... You can get away with topping and tie downs but supercropping is out of the question.

So LST is the way to go then? I understand why though. Don't want to stunt growth with an autoflowering plant.

Wait...was I accurate in saying topping takes time away from growth?? Why would you waste time topping for an auto?

It will add to veg time. If you want to top an auto it's gotta be done early. The first 14 days of an auto are critical. Let them develop some roots and top at the 3rd or 4th node. Then just spread her out with ties.

So it is the LST method just not so complicated with all the string haha. I like it. I really like the idea of topping then supercropping though

I supercrop absolutely everything.

Dude - always always mention Autoflowering when seeking advice. In the initial post. It really does matter sometimes .

Yea I always forget to mention it. So supercropping is effective with autoflowering plants or should I just stick with LST?

I'd also only top 10+ week finishing auto's. The really fast short indica dom auto's just don't take it well.

I know I've been posting a lot. I just want to learn as much as possible about this and everyone here is so helpful. I've read up on LST but I'm not entirely sure how it works. Anyone can go into pretty good detail on how it works?

Inbox me, or check out my posts and my Grow I have going.

I do hst, I basically bend the plant over or supper crop all my plants

I am glad to go into detail in inboxed or here but I feel most in this site give a good idea on lst, and hst

Youtube has so many videos on lst sometimes I have to see it instead of just reading it to get a understanding
