Hello friends! This is my first set of Autos. I am growing ILGM GG, Ban, GSC beans. They are 4 weeks since seed and have about 4 full sets of nodes. I am using a drip irrigation hydro set up, feeding with Athena nutrient system. Can I Top and SCROG? Or LST with trying? How can I increase my tri…

Welcome, growing autos you’re on a limited time clock growth wise, so I don’t top but I do employ LST. You’ll need to do some work to maintain growing those so close together. Autos can and do get big depending on strain. You might be tight in there. :grin::v:

My Autos never need training as they have done it themselves like this this one. [image] Only fed her once on top of it.

Only did two auto’s lost one in a freak accident (hanging fan fall on it) I topped it once(about 4th or 5th node) an LST didn’t seem to bother it much just took a few days to recover. The other I just LST an cut the bottom branches that wasn’t getting much light just took a while to bounce back. It…

Nice set up brother, HST and LST on my current autos. Last run with this method netted me over 10 zips dry from 4 auto skittlez. These are 2 out the 6. [image] [image]

Nice, That just a straight, no topped, HST/LST to horizontal?

I always pin the fan leaves down to expose these while I’m waiting. Here’s a finished auto skittlez that pul…

Nailed it on starting quick, usually around week 2.5 above ground works for me. Gives it enough time to heal before pre-flower.

Seems a whole lot easier than my Photo quad line approach. Well I’ll have some results in a few months anyway. What’s there about 60 tops on that, I don’t think ill hit that on my quad.

Actually got 2 of those going too. Trying a photo and auto run in the same closet. Manifold on a White Widow Photo, more like a quad you mentioned and trying it on a Northern Lights auto in a small veg tent . Gonna look up your journal and tag along. Will be cool to trade off tips :love_you_gesture: …

I’m doing a little test for my own. Quad. I’ve done it this way on photos for years, autos you gotta move quick, while tiny/fragile.
You have to know your skills, I’ve butchered plenty, start small.
