What would you personally do with this plant? Let it grow untouched (untrained) or top like a maniac amd shoot for multiple colas? 5 gal. Plastic Pot Fox Farm Soil. Runtz Muffin from Barneys Farm I have toped it once so far, thought i should throw that in there. ![20210102_105308](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/5/0/f501f8d7a3d7dafbc70db380c3c046002e65915c.jpeg) ![20210102_105247](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/3/7/b3716c6cd68a87e2ccdcf51087b3de24ee4ee5d2.jpeg) ![20210102_105257](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/c/9/2c91305fb5401265bb76d7e1339314fbf0e77bef.jpeg) ---

Personally I like to use topping and LST to get a nice even canopy best I can and flower. Really great way to boost total amount of quality bud in small space. ---

I start lst when the plant will bend to outside of pot. If I am running photos I top at 3rd node and lst the rest of the way. If the branches are still bendy and not woodie you can bend them out yes. Just take your time and be gentle. IMHO doing a few branches at end of day just before lights out is pretty effective. They recover during lights out and are ready for nexy day of light. With these autos Im just finishing up it was all LST and it was daily work for months but it was worth it. Every few days you adjust ties and flatten canopy. Just be gentle I cannot stress that enough I have no idea how woody those stems are versus bendy/soft. ---

Have yet to try it myself but I have others super cropping and monster cropping. Use search bar to find topics related to what you’re looking for, I am sure it has been covered. ---

Which ones? The runtz muffins? There rated at 28% THC which was the highest I could find on _edit… removed unauthorized link_ at the time I ordered. Plant has been going great sense I popped it. I’ve yet to use any nutrients on it and it’s growing perfectly. Transferred from a one gallon smart pot into a 5 gallon plastic pot and considering potting up to either 7 or 10 gallons to really Bush it out. I started a journal on this which I can tag you in that way you can follow the progress. I am not gonna start flowering it until it’s probably double the size it is now. Scrogging moght happen too. ---

all depends on the space you have and how you wanna fill it up… for my situation i just LST the main over and tie it down and i usually end up with something like this… ![20210105_200353](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/f/3/bf3f12844f99c15366cd61015afd1a45fa97c5bf.jpeg) ---

Probably will end up scrogging depending on how much topping takes place. ---
