Best Way to Train Auto-Flowering Strains?

Love it Marley! 👍 It's great fun to grow a vigorous plant that responds so well to our
manipulation! 🌿🐸
 
Thanks for sharing the before n after. Looks great! I've just done this on my mystery plant. :D
 
And a day later after more defoliation. Notice the stretch since the first picture, with each stem needing an additional tie down. Still growing strong.

I think that in 10 years most of us will look back on the days before autoflowering plants as the old days. Autoflowering cannabis is the future of growing. I've pretty much fully gone over to autos - indoors or out, regs or fems - the predictability of autos is just so much easier to deal with and now autos are honestly every bit as potent, flavorful, and colorful as most photos. I train all of my autos, primarily LST, but I have also topped and fimmed them.

My main way of doing LST is to start laying the plant on its side as soon after it sprouts as I can. I just gently walk the plant from one end of a rectangular pot to the other, spreading the limbs apart as I do. Outdoors its even easier to do because I plant in the ground. In a way, I'm going for kind of a one armed manifold. I'll see if I can get a pic of my Sin Tra Bajo's tonight. All I did to them was lay them down and string them across the pot and I've taken probably 10-12 inches of vertical growth and turned it into horizontal growth and shined light on a lot more buds.
 
May I ask what you are using for risers? I have fabric grow bags in plastic dish pans. I put $ store wire baskets, in the upside down position, under them. It works OK, but the baskets don't cover the entire bottom of the bags so they droop down a little. I do remove my runoff after each watering so they aren't really sitting in a pool of water. Maybe someone should sell grow bags with risers built in and go and Shark Tank!
 
sparky I got some risers through Amazon. I also use plates turned upside down. My small plants I take out of tent and place wire shelf over a tub to water them on.
