Topping can be done with success, however you have to do it early. Lst is suggested to increase yield. Mainlining is not a good technique for autos,better suited for regular strains @Gman753
Lst??? Could you explain please
LST = low stress training.
Here is a blog by Robert Bergman on the subject.
You can top or fim autos but should be done early as autos don’t have a long Veg time to recover.
I fimmed my 3 current autoflowers and all came out fine.

Have your plants begun to flower @Gman753?
Typically when they start to flower the stalks will start to become sturdier to support the buds that are growing.
I’ve only grown a few autos so I’m not %100 on the difference between the grows.
Maybe @Countryboyjvd1971 or @bob31 can throw some input in as well.
@Jmesser80 @Countryboyjvd1971 Actually @Gman753 cross posted his question and his question is being discussed on another topic…
1st time D W C with a white widow auto - #12 by Gman753 if you want to chime in over there. That is his grow journal. Thanks guys!
