Is it good to LST an Autoflower???

I have a 20 day old auto soon to show sex and flower. It's my first auto, and I hear autos yield less. Would it be good to at least LST and tie the main stalk down, in order to make more tops? Or should I just let it grow natural? I LST trained my last non auto plant and it got several nice colas as a result. However, autos may be different?

Absolutely.

I grow mostly auto's and all my stuff is heavily trained. Easily doubles yield.

Check sig for some trained auto grows.

Peace.

wow you guys are so gentle with the tie downs i top em at three nodes then bend them backwards tie down from the middle and try to make it touch the side of the planter in a week or so then all your tops will push up and be flat across the top also if its pulled to one side of the pot you can get them further in on your light foot print 2 or 3 plants can easily share one light
