I kinda understand the lst training some-what for larger plants, but as far the shorter plants what is the real pay-off?? The objective is to get light to the lower bud sites, got that. With the autoflowering plants all the word is no stress and lst means low stress training, key word is the middle is "stress". Leaf tucking or even tie the lower branches outward and supplemental side lighting would render no stress in return better yield and not stunting the growth. So i guess my question is why would you lst a plant if your not restricted for head room, like a pc box grow??

Yea, I try not too worry so much. That's why I need to harvest her! I worry too much, lol!
The main cola is already growing vertically, now. No, I will not tie her down again, I think it was a mistake in the first place (maybe because I did it too late or something, I dunno :\). The main cola is not blocking any bud sites, anyways. So I think if I tied it down, I would only be causing more stress.

That looks like a male flower to me. Well they come back who knows definitely keep an eye out for them. As far as the lst goes I can't imagine it would cause problems but I'm new to autos and from what I hear they don't like stress of any kind. If that's the case then you should start lst as soon as it sexes. That's my two cents. just how I would go about it
Okay, so I decided to do an inspection of my setup to identify the reason behind the stunted growth I have been seeing. I poured out my res and immediately was greeted by the smell of rotting eggs... Yea, I have something growing in my res. I hit dat bitch with hydrogen peroxide and it seemed to intensify the smell for a bit. Did a good cleaning and hoping to see better results. I KNEW I should have put a bubbler in this bitch! My container I am using (3.3 gallon plastic trashcan) is stuck inside of the kitty littler container, so I couldn't take it out. I had to pour and pour, flush and flush for hours. Also had to drill a hole to be able to pour out all the solution/liquid.
To anyone reading this, if your new to hempy (like me), I would use a bubbler or be extra observant of your res. have hydrogen peroxide ready and maybe apply regularly. Fk this shit, I'm switching back to good 'ol fashion dwc. Just like in highschool
