Ok, but i need to know from begining. When they are small and young like mine. Need to know exactly because i don't want to make it wrong :d and now i guess i must feed them more in this time when recover? I use flora nova grow for veg and biobizz bloom and topmax for flowering.
LST doesn't require any amount of recovery time. It's best to get a feel for what you're trying to bend and where you want to bend it. If need be, you can move a branch a little bit at a time. Sometimes the same branch can be pulled further a few times in one day. With plants as short as yours, you'll probably want to tie on to the middle of the main stem and secure it to the edge of your bucket while bending the plant in the opposite direction. Do a search for 'LST cannabis' and do a bit of reading and you'll have all the info that you need.

I knos isn't just one way, but i search for simplest and better way. I think i will begin like as u said with the bamboo stick!

Looks so good big one. I have 5 nonautos and these i'll not top them
I would HIGHLY recommend topping photoperiod plants. They stay in veg until you flip lights to 12/12 so it doesnt matter how much you damage them, they will recover, and stronger than ever. Autos only have the amount of time their genetics give them to veg; so if you cut part of the plant off, you are just losing potential. A photoperiod plant you decide how long it vegges and topping is actually good for them, it redirects the plants focus to the branches.

Bamboo stake has been on pot before seedling? Cause now i guess i can't put one cause i can hurt roots, even the plants has 4 5 days
Dont worry about the bamboo this go around, the way you tied it down is about perfect for a topped auto. I just wanted to show you my style to consider for future grows.

Perfect! So in this case i will do top after about 3 weeks. Just with 3 of them. Two of them i will just LST. I want to make experiments, but i can't grow much cause i live in a fucked up country where this is sooo illegal...

Sorry to hear that. Watch some youtube videos on both how to low stress train and high stress train LST/HST

Hey bro! Amnesia showed her sex and the little buds showed up. It is ok if i switch from 20/4 to 12/12? Only Amnesia showed her sex, the rest of them(all have same age) didn't yet. And i don't know if its ok to switch and force the others into flowering. I must remind that today is the fourth day after topping them. Waiting for your answer mate.

Autos prefer at least 18/6 their entire life. Staying at 20/4 is also good. They do not like 12/12. You cant force an auto into flowering, they flower when they want.
