Ponytailing....tucking upper shoots/leaves together with pipecleaner or some such aid.. The idea is to allow light into otherwise shaded bottom growth, resulting in a more even canopy without bending her leaves.
Autoflowering hybrids have ushered in a new era of hope and change. LST doesn’t really have a recovery time. Within hours, most growers see shoots bouncing back. Essentially, you don’t really need to treat the autos in the RQS collection any different than a photoperiod variety when it comes to LST.
In fact, LST is perhaps the best way to significantly boost the yield of an autoflowering strain with no downside. That being said, you do need to factor in that most autos will start flowering just 4–5 weeks post-germination. It’s best to make up your mind about training in advance.
This growing technique encourages increased bud growth, as the branches are more readily exposed to the source of light. Also, the stems that would normally stand vertically are tied into lateral position, inducing them to sprout new vertical branches, or "waterspouts" - which will create tasty new buds. This is a common practice amongst gardeners for climbing roses, grapes, and other vining plants.

Yes, that's true. All the energy goes into seeds, thereby less potent.
I want everyone to have a successful auto grow, esp. since many slam this hybrid. Grow em great!!

I usually top autos once after the fourth node. I also defoliate a lot of fans on some strains with no ill effects. This is a 80 day strain.
