    Default low stress training autos

    Hi I'm growing royal critical auto and was wondering if it was possible to do low stress training if it is possible is it really worth it and how old would the plants need to be before I could start??

    You want to top them at the 3rd node then wait for the branches to grow out then tie them down.
    If your already past that stage I'd leave it as is.

    Don't top it unless you know what you are doing as that is high stress to the plant. But, as Erb says, tie the branches down to form a level canopy :

    Topping is High Stress Training (HST) rather than LST (Low Stress training)....

    A few people have asked me (and probably loki too) about when to top autos.

    Topping an auto, IMHO, you need to top her just before she starts to flower which is between the 3rd true node & the 4th. Timing is everything as any later & you will stunt her flowering period & any sooner will stunt her veg period - both will reduce your yield
