Hi everyone, This plant is a Blue Mystic Auto, I bent the main trunk a while ago and that's it so far, I would like to get more colas but not sure exactly what to bend or if I should? Attached is a photo of it. Today is day 28, it is 8.5" tall. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi Uncle Doug,
I have no experience with autos but you might want to read the tutorials and search the site on auto training before you do anything drastic. Also, search Mrs. Google. She knows everything!
 
I'm certainly not an expert, but I had no trouble with LST. If that were my plant I'd gently bend that main stem over toward one side and secure it down. Then I'd Google LST geometric shapes. Then I'd start building a spiral. Happy growing!
 
Keep pulling down and tieing around the top of the pot,round and round u go raising up a little with each pass, sort of like a stairway to heaven.

Good looking plant! Just pinch off the top node (i.e. a little HST ;)). That will encourage colas to grow from the sides (which you can then train by pulling them out away from the main stalk). You will be amazed how well it works. But do it NOW. If your auto isn't showing preflowers already at day 28, it will by day 29, and it's good to get that taken care of sooner rather than later.

I used to grow autos and that always worked great for me. Good luck and have fun.

3/15. Every strain is a bit different, this is how I practice lst, just leaf tucking till stretch.
 
Thank you Weed Pharma for the link, great job explaining what to do. I topped her yesterday and didn't even kill her. She's looking great this morning. Guess I was really tired yesterday morning because I didn't see your post till this morning after Doc mentioned it.
