First grow in tent==Auto Flowering...Train?

[Debsmokez]

I have a White Widow Auto Flowering plant a week old growing. I was looking at the plant training, very interesting. My question is as soon as I am able, do I start to train the plant? Or no because it is auto?
Thanks so much!!!

Do what cha want - it's your plant.

That does not help me. Geez, it's my first time growing in a tent. I do hope someone who isn't sarcastic will answer my question. Your answer DID NOT HELP. Thank you

Sorry.
With autos - I top first - then start training pretty much right away. All your training and the direction you want your plant to grow should be done in the first 30 days. Then most of them want to shoot out pre-flowers.

I top off the 5 th node and cut away the first node - leaving the 2nd 3rd and 4th nodes. And train away.

No harm no foul Debsmokez . After much research and following the tutorials\growers here at GWE I've topped and LST my healthy autos. Slowed them down a bit not much but extended grow finish time by another couple weeks, that's my experience. I do it anyway when I grow indoors.
