Busy week! All training has been done so we're ready to grow a little more still. Topped, defoliation and LST, Ive had the best results mixing these methods - as long as I keep up with it. Apple Glitters are definitely going to be good sized, MAC1's are gonna be super dense and bushy.
LST training has always posed a problem for me especially growing autoflowers
For instance in the last grow the one I’m growing right now my plants were as robust as I’ve ever grown but in 14 days they had 5 sets of nodes but only about four inches tall and a stalk as stiff as a pencil. No way was she going to be bent over and tided down.
So this brings me to your pictures and in pictures the one close up showing clips used to LST. Very interesting are those clips where ever did you get them. They might be just the solution I’m looking for to LST autoflowers.
@sanibelisl, if you search LST clips online there should be a bunch of options to choose from. Mine came from Amazon.
I started growing Autoflowers this year and noticed their training needed adjusting often compared to photos - probably the accelerated growth, and are indeed stiffer much sooner. I reduced light intensity and they stretched a bit to give me more plant to work with and manipulate. It's been a lot easier to train them after that. These clips are great! No ties, and after a week you can take them off and move them further up the branch to continue spreading out the plant. Hope that helps!
