It is not too late but I would wait til it was a bit taller to pull any of it over as it looks stout now. Doing any lst now is going to make that plant or pla ya basically just hovering the soil and will leave u no room for watering. Maybe lift the light a bit to try and get them to stretch just a bit as they see super compact. It look great. U have a few there top one do lst to one and leave one alone and see the differences between the 3 ways of course each strain will differ but it will get u hands on on each type of growing good luck. Auto or photo

Gotcha. They look super man. They really don’t seem like they need any lst really right now. Maybe wait til after the buds sites form as to not do any stunts before buds r formed and stalled that process at all. Like when u see the buds all like little white buttons a bout 3 weeks or so into flower then do a defol and lollipop on them as the. IDs r formed and around that timeframe should be into root making phase again then back to bud maintenance so if u catch it in the right time u won’t harm them really at all. It’s a matter of watch them and when u see the buds form then they will stall and look like nothing is happening. That’s when u wanna hit an auto in it’s stall moment

They look nice and healthy. If they were mine I would start some lst right away to develop more bud sites before the flowering stretch. I think you’ll be amazed at how fast they will respond

Just tried to do some tucking

Yep, don’t be afraid to push any leaves down that are blocking light from getting to branch/bud sites below. With autos I prefer to tuck rather than remove. The one on the top right that you bent down will respond fast. As it does bend and tie it down again. Sometimes it helps to gently bend them back and forth to limber them up a bit before the final bend and tie.
Just a wild guess but you in Illinois?

See what I mean if u do any lst now how it’ll be almost on the soil. Next time u plant on lst dim light if possible or raise it to provoke some stretch let it get a bit taller then train away. The ones u have if they r like 3 weeks or so from pop u can top or fim them. Top will give u 2 mains but lately mine seem to get 4 nice ones as the bottom first set of nodes grows to the height of the others @Nicky @Not2SureYet are auto pros they study them sleep with them think about them lol. They know some autos pretty well.

IMHO, it’s the perfect time where you are. Just be gentle lest you snap one off.

Perhaps do a half bend today and the second half bend on the same Branch tomorrow.

I did LST on my very 1st grow and it went well. Well worth it just keep moving them out every day little by little.

My 2nd grow looks to be about 2 weeks behind yours.

Good luck!!

I see that there’s really not much to do but let them stretch

And the plant in the back I think I may have went a little crazy with the fan :leaves:

I agree with @VirginiaGrowBoy and Personally I would bend, spread and pin the sides down to open them up, then work the top over. It’s auto correct? If so time is not on your side at this point with expected preflower around the corner :love_you_gesture:
