No it’s not for just autos . The lst will give you a head start on making it bush out . The thread had 30 pages try going to the last page and back up ,Shed has more pics of his work. The only reason mine is a bush , she’d been topped over 75 times for clones .
You can top them wherever you like but the most important part of getting a flat canopy is keeping the top two nodes flat while the lowers catch up. Then as each lower node reaches the top it gets held there until the nodes below it grow to that level, and so on.
That thread is for photos or autos, but it's really for those just doing LST without topping. That's how I did this without topping (that's a 4' wide table and a 10 gallon pot).
Thanks for replying shed. Seems like I have some decisions to make! Thanks for the info both of you @InTheShed and @West Hippie . I don't really have a need for clones yet but I will when the outdoor season gets closer to the end. I usually clone my outdoor plants in July so I'll have plants to grow inside in the fall. And also to see which ones I want to keep around. Maybe I'll do half and half. Top 3 and LST 3 and compare. I'll post an update with the transplant/training in the next day or two! Thanks again!You can top them wherever you like but the most important part of getting a flat canopy is keeping the top two nodes flat while the lowers catch up.

That's how I do my plants:
If you top down a few nodes you can try your hand at cloning that bit, but you'll obviously end up with fewer branches in the end.

I can't wait to see what those monsters are going to look like! I've seen many beauties here grown in the ground but can't recall anything in a 45g pot!
I can't wait either but unfortunately I'm going to have too lol. My apologies, 45 gallon grow bag not pot. That is a beautiful ball of colas there @StoneOtter very nice! Maybe I should pick his brain for the Geoflora nutrients then.I can't wait to see what those monsters are going to look like!

Oh, @StoneOtter uses @GeoFlora Nutrients for his in-ground plants and they turn out lovely:
I knew that!
Stop by either of his journals and he'll be happy to help. He's a sweetheart!
Count me in! It's going to be a tough selection with such a quality bunch of candidates this year.
What light timing are they on now? I have seen a lot of plants go into flower early and reveg if the difference between indoor light hours and daylight hours is significant. Even 20/4 to 15/9 can trigger most plants to start flowering.
They have been on 15/9 since the start. I know what you are saying I've had issues in the past going from 18/6 to outside. The 2 that have started flowering already probably wouldn't have made the transition so I'm glad to have done it this way to hopefully eliminate that issue. May 8th is the first day with 14 hours of sunlight. So I might have to give them an extra hour for the first month but they should be good after that!
