Super cropping?

[aliennnz]

Hey guys I just wanna know from your experience, this auto is 1 month and 6 days old, she's flowering good already, but still got 2 months more until she's ready. My question here is, would super cropping benefit this plant at all at this stage?

Or should it be done earlier?

I have been giving her LST usually simply bending the main cola to get light beneath those bushy leaves. Some branches I have tied but I don't know, since the stems are so small in length I can't really pull them down without breaking them... What I say is with super cropping the steams would be simply down because of that specific train and would simply allow light to come and penetrate inside?


Also I'm a little bit worried about how tall she is.. Which is not tall at all.. She is 20cm / 7.8 inches tall.

Isnt that a small plant for an autoflower with 1 month? From what I read 1 when she starts flowering she no longer grows tall only the buds.

Im just wondering if the yield will be small since she's a small lady.



I did transplant her 2 times tho and 1 steam broke so I believe that would slow her a lot and that's why maybe she's so small. (I know I shouldn't transplant a autoflower now )

She's an northern light automatic (you can check my journal on her)

I've only ever grown one auto which I LST'd and noticed it did seem to hold back in veg longer. I understand the general advice is not to supercrop autos. Besides your's seems to be a short strain so to me it would seem less needed.

hey! thank you so much, you know, i didn't know it was a short strain... lol i think that is the case then.
ok, im finding hard to find good advice on supercropping on autos tho, thats why the question came up

I supercrop mine, if they need it. I'm not sure what there is to supercrop on yours?

There's a very very fine line between training your auto for better yield and slowing it down.
If you have enough lateral branches i would suggest bending the top some so that the side branches can catch up or just let her run naturally into a xmas tree shape.
I've read others success stories about training and even topping autos but i would say do so at your own risk.

Looking at the pics I'd say she'll be fine as you have her trained and within a few weeks you should have more stretch from the lower branches for a nice boquet of colas

Why on earth would you need to super crop that plant......it's not even 8" tall.
