Sweet. I'll keep an eye on how she goes. I got the fastbuds strawberry pie at 32 days right now. I got some cheesecake also that I will pop next.

Also my first go with autos.

Hahahaha no buddy it was supposed to look like a heart. I just love LSTing. I don't even top anymore. I have never used scrog net as well. Just LSTing from 15 days old sprout and the canopy is always so flat that you can play poker or blackjack on top of it. It's just very enjoyable for me. Rarely, some tops may get higher than others and that's where I supercrop them. I grew my first plant (outdoors) 10 years ago. For some reason, despite being a 13yr old kid back then, LSTing and supercropping were the first things I learned lol. I was very amazed. I still haven't grown any photos yet but when I do after my current auto grow, I will keep them in veg and keep training them until I have 100 fu***ng tops next to each other :D I love it.

Right on buddy! Yeah I didn't want to top my first autoflower, as I heard it stuntz them. I have just been tying down the top and side branches. I almost feel like I'm getting to extreme wi it at such an early stage!? How long after pre flower should I stop LST'ing??

No you're doing fine. You will have a nice flat canopy and all the buds will receive the same amount of light. It's perfect. I start training around day 15 and stop around the time they stretch. I stop when there is none or slight difference in the height of each main top. Sometimes that would be a little before or during stretch. If some tops stretch more than others I will LST or supercrop once again until I have even canopy. Here are some pics of some basic LST I did on an auto, in my 2x2. Nothing crazy or impressive but just enjoy seeing all the main buds at the same height. I won't be posting any more pics because it's your journal but absolutely will be coming back to check on your updates bro.

Wow, nice example of budding with a autoflower!! Thanks a million for your response. It totally makes sense.. I just want to see for myself, what I can get, yeild wise out of my first ever autoflower plant. I've had many a photo period plants under my belt. It just seems these autoflower are a whole different Kitty Cat Scenerio, when it comes to growing herb LOL!

Please ask for advice on photos. As I know more than some, But not as much as some photo period Guru's around here that grow straight up Trees of Weed! I never feel rushed when growing a photo. But with this autoflower I feel so limited wi what I want to do, training wise I mean.

Fastbuds Wedding Cheesecake

Ok so I decided to start a journal on my @Killabeez-Cannabis-Seeds wedding cheesecake auto prize. So I have never grown an autoflower before, only photo periods. Also I am very much a sun loving grower (all but a few grown outdoor) many a backyard grows. So I am in my clone/starter closet...
