Royal Queen Northern Light (Auto) Too bushy? Let her go? Trim? Help!

I'm only asking about the plant on the right in the purple 3Gal Bucket.

She is about 29 days old. Super bushy.

Should I just let her go and grow on her own?
Her branches aren't super long to LST just yet.


Do I have to worry that she is that bushy? Will her yield suffer because she is so bushy?

Any opinions?

No you fool! She's lovely. Leave her the fuck alone! Stop feeding her if you you think she's doing too well.

Do this to her. lst.

then you can stretch her out more with lst. will open her up allot and give you a better yield with more tops.

You have options if she was mine I would bend the main like pictured above but I would probably focus on breaking the inner structure just a tad to create a knot and sending more energy to the lowers.

Why is this in the advanced section? Its a tiny auto just let it grow

Since this is a auto strain, no mutelating or stressing of any kind is recomendable (IMHO).You have a nice plant dont worry.

Because I asked specifically about lst'ing her because she is so bushy.
That is considered an "advanced" practice.

No sweat...
And again, I was only running some autos because I had them. No reason to let the seeds go to waste, kwim?

I have the same issue. My auto is built more like a head of broccoli.She's a real brick shithouse. I look at her and start to wish I had some Ranch Dressing. I did LST her for a day and have now tied down the side shoots to let in more light and spread her out a bit. Hasn't created any problems.

Here is an update picture: This isn't a picture from today, but she is 30" tall today, 28" wide.

Ah, they grow up so fast...

Looking good.
