my question is simple, can you do any LST training or such on auto flower plants?

Yes LST can be done. Also topping can be if it’s done at right time but not recommended to do so unless you are comfortable with doing it. I top my babies usually around the 15-21 day mark or after the 5-6th node. I LST the whole life of plant starting at the earliest time I can LST. Also before you follow my advice let’s others chime in to give you more indebt answer. But to answer your question yes you can

@Screwauger @Countryboyjvd1971 @Hogmaster @Myfriendis410 should be able to assist you also as they grow autos and are pretty good at it

You bet. LST is all I do to auto’s. I start early and use the “bowl method” by pulling side branches down and out away from the mainstem. Sort of opens up the center of the plant similar to a “bowl.” @MarkfromCanada

I personally top my autos early around the 3-4 node needs to be done early or yiu can stress the plant out to much but can be done i dont recommend do it until you have a few grows under your brlt and comfortable with feeding and watering ect once you have a grasp on that them experimenting is a good idea
Lst is a good option gor a beginner since your not cutting anything
Happy growing :v:CB

You can also supercrop them as well.

I supetcropped this white widow auto at the start of flower. It did slow the plant down by a month and a half if not more. I harvested one I planted at the same time almost a month ago that had nothing done to it. The supercropped plant has a few more weeks to go and will have a much bigger yield.
