I’m growing two White Widow and two Zkittles autoflowers from ILGM. Two of the plants started a few weeks later than the others. Temps averaging 67/55 with 8-9 hours of direct sunlight on my balcony. So far so good. Picture is about day 30 for the larger plants.

I’m still deciding if I should attempt some LST or just let them do their thing. I’m hoping to keep them below the top railing which is about 28" from the soil level.

Welcome to OG @puffpuffpass , glad you decided to join us. Even if you don’t do any LST you can always supercrop any branches that get too tall in the stretch. I realize they are auto’s but you can still supercrop them without ill effects IMO.

They are loving that sunshine, if you bend them over a bit,more sunshine for those lower buds.

Yeah man, the last time I grew was 15 or so years back when I lived in the city near the GG park panhandle. The summer fog would have been a problem so I had a small closet grow. When I moved to the other side of the bridge it took me a while to get used to a regular warm summer. hah!

I just did a little LST on the main stalks of the larger plants. Just a gentle bend over to the side of the pot. This is my first training attempt but it seems straight forward. I just noticed preflowers on 3 of 4 plants. Progress!

Cool bud, they will turn back up almost instantly. I super cropped my last auto and by the next day it had already turned up into the light. Just keep on top of it and it will grow any way you like.

You aren’t kidding. I looked a few hours later and the growth areas are all facing upward. Very cool.

Yeah man, it’s quite amazing. That plant is built to find the light and it’s in a growth period now. Wait till you see it tomorrow. Good job trying LST. Before you know it you will be trying all sorts of training, it’s amazing how you can manipulate these plants to grow the way you want them to grow.

Yeah but string or plant ties will do just as well. Same with supercroping. I supercropped my last auto and it worked out perfect. First auto I have ever grown with a uniform canopy.
