Training techniques for strawberry gorilla and apple stredel

The best options are what get you to your end canopy goal with the least amount of wasted growth and resources. This varies by context. With an autoflower, i wound't do much training. Keep it spread out and it'll take care of itself. These plants are generally small and excessive training won't help much, if at all. Maybe some lollipopping of lower branches is worth it... but the timing would be important too.. before buds start forming being best. Also, les is more for lolipopping an auto. You may wnat to grow it out naturally to form some baseline (and a few more plants too) .. then try training them and better recognize if it even helps or woth the effort. I'd still do some light training to spread growth out, of course. Nothing wrong with angling branches to absorb more light.

1st fill pot to the top...

LST. look it up. Avoid HST

If you're a newbie, I probably wouldn't try anything silly. Just let her grow and learn how to feed her properly

For autos around week 3, the safest and most effective option is LST Start by gently bending the main stem sideways and securing it this will help open up the canopy and allow the side branches to catch more light. Avoid topping or mainlining since autos have limited time to recover. Just a bit of gentle LST and some leaf tucking will already boost your yield nicely
