Exceptions to every rule QTLove!Ah shit, back to the drawing board!
Well it seems like mine is going through some type of growth spurt now. Have you ever topped yours? Some say not to do anything to autos but I have also seen some that have done light lst. I did top mine at the very top, I don't think it stressed it much, it seemed like it took off after I did it.
Do you mean top or FIM? FIM'img recovers quicker and is lighter stress... Were I a purely indoor cat, like yourself, I'd LST my auto plants. But since I'm not, I let them go up... And don't honestly consider them part of my plant count. More like an after thought. Babies.
