How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?
Jannis_Botanicumstarted grow question 2 years ago
Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

I use Low Stress clips when they are further along. This early, you don't quite need to start yet, but if you do, use something like this:

Then you want to bend the sections that are being blocked, so they are seeing light. At this point judging by your pictures, you don't need to start yet.
However, when you have a few nodes, I have started using clips like this:

You bend the whole plant. What you are trying to do is force the plant to grow sideways, As you bend and tie down the plant it will always start growing up to the light again. You keep bending different parts to keep the plant as flat as possible. When you bend the whole plant over the parts you circled will start to grow up. Once they get to 2-5" long you will start bending them down as well.

U can try to bend the entire plant gently, to keep the top from going up and to promote the growd of the potential budsides👌

Roughly where you have put the red circle is where you want to start bending it over. You expose the lower sites that way which then get as much energy as the top does. I usually have wire near the bottom pulling the plant the opposite way from the top just as a support.

PHI messed up & forgot to PH balance my water before using it. It was 9.4 before I mixed in molasses & formulex. I put 1 gallon in each pot. I realized right after I did that, that I forgot. I tried to fix it by adding a 1/2 gal. To each of just plain 6.1 ph water. What now tho ??

Deformed first true leaves on seedlingMy Harlequin x GG4 seedling has a weird set of first leaves. They are very small, narrow, look deformed and bend down. This plant is being watered the same as the other plant that looks healthy (also a diff strain, gorilla zkittlez).3 years ago

No growth in the last 7 days or so. Other growers experience more growth with the same plant.My plant isn't growing any more. It's looking the same for the last week or so.
The soil is fermented and should be good for 3 months and I mixed that with perlite.
I water the plant every two days with 0.5 - 0.75 L of water, because I don't want to overwater her

When should I LST and add Nutrients?Wanted to low stress train this plant if I am able too.I am not really sure when to start, does the plant look old enough to begin introducing this technique? Should I wait another week? Also when should I start feeding the plant nutrients? It’s still growing pretty fast.

I posted this pic yesterday and was told it was a Hermi, I think people thought it was feminized. I have not seen a sign of gender till now, these were "regular" non-fem'd seeds. Do I have to worry about other plants? They are all in Veg (except for 1 auto I am playing with)
