Auto flower plants

[Willj]

This will be my first auto flower grow. Because the have such a short grow cycle ,i have been told not to top,fim,etc because it takes to much of its cycle trying to repair itself. How can i induce the plant to make more main stems resulting in 2 4,or more colas? I have put all on hold for answers to this question. Thanks everyone in advance.

Genetic modification is your best bet.
Otherwise, a well trained plant might give better results than a wild one.

LST...bend and tie down

It’s a hotly debated question, read this if you have not

Top your autos. Won't hurt a thing. Go for it.

Being your first time I would suggest letting them grow naturally so you can get a feel for how they grow. Lst is the best way to increase yield. Just pull her top down slowly starting when there are 4 sets of leaves. Try to keep the top even with the other growing tips. Topping an auto can be done but only with super healthy plants and some experience. Not recommended for novices.

I treat my autos the same as my photos. You just adjust for the shorter time span involved. I always top all of my plants.
