What kinda of training should I do for autoflowers?

[Rookiegrower710]

Hello guys! Week 2 is approching and both my plants have 4 nodes by now… Im waiting for the 5th-7th node to either top, fimm, or lst.
out of your experience with growing autoflower.

strains are: Northern Lights auto (northern lights x ruderalis) and purple punch autoflower (purple punch x old school skunk) both seeds are from cultivar, Royal Queen Seeds.

I have an environment problem and I will be ordering soon an humifier. I will be placing a floor fan to disperse heat towards the top of tent so it can be extraxted by the inline fan and carbon filter.

currently feeding just about .39 ml of silica diluted into 1gallon of water. PPM of 333/ EC of .666 with a pH of 6.5

I just watered them yesterday after days of not watering since soil was dry to the touch.

any helpful advice will be considered and appreciated. Thank you and happy growint to ya’ll

I cut off the lower branches and I spread out the top branches but I don't think it helped much as I had a few issues and being autos no time to fix

Hello I am not a pro but I am experienced in growing autos. I use strictly LST to train my crops. If done right it does not stress the plant as much as other methods, autos are fast growing and flower very quickly so minimum stress is required for good plant growth. I use soft cord ties and bending clips.

I wait for a somewhat mature fifth node (day 20) then it's game on. Popcorn producers removed and apical dominance broken.
