FIM and LST if you want a bush rather than a tree. Do not recommend high stress training with autos, not enough of a recovery time.
I have grow journals with my LST method, go have a look.
Happy Growing!

You can more or less shape your plant however you wish. I personally like a bushy plant, but I have also seen some extremely successful single cola grows. Dealers choice

I think it’s more strain dependent, as ilgms amnesia haze autos can be brutally trained, with great success. Everyone told me that too, but now that I’ve done it a few times, I’ve noticed that if I stress it out enough during the veg stage, that it will stunt it’s growth, in the veg stage. Essentially pausing the plants development, and prolonging the veg stage by a few weeks. They turn into monsters quickly, and being sativa, took forever to flower, but they are incredible.

Yes and no. I use a combination of tying the main stalk down, tying the individual branches down, the goal being to spread everything out, and also super crop pretty much everything I touch. But you can manipulate the plant into any shape you want, though I wouldn’t really go cutting too much. Mostly forcing the plant to grow where you want it to
