answered grow question 6y ago
Hey Bro π. you have very beautiful plant ππ±π. You should start these days if you do LST without topping. If you wait too long the stem will get too thick to bend it properly :-) Greetings you do it perfectly ππ»

Outdoor Auto Training
Any outdoor auto growers out there? What do you recommend for increasing yield? Topping? FIMing? Go au naturale/nothing? Still a couple of weeks before flowering stage.

Training method for this leafy boi
This leafy boi has grown bushy. What training methods do you recommend? Should I just tie down to the side? should I defoliate the fan leaves covering new growth?

Greenhouse growing questions
Is there any best parameters for growing in a greenhouse? Humidity? Temps? Also I am trying to grow my plants as bushy and tall as possible. I am using LST methods is there any way to defoliate that will increase the plants height? Thanks and Many blessings

I snapped the main stem during LST by accident
Do you guys think my plant will recover with the main stem break? Details are in the journal but basically it completely snapped, was hanging by a thread of fibre. I used some allow and ducting tap that came with my exhaust.

Enough LST for an autoflower?
I was wondering how much LST and how intense the LST on an auto should be? I heard you shouldn't stress autos too much, that's why I'm extra careful and wanted to ask. (And yes I know it's overwatered, I'm letting it dry out at the moment)

Growing a plant across a tent using LST rather than into a bush
Iβm growing two auto flowers in a 2x2 tent. Because of the small size of the grow space my idea was to put a pot in each corner of the tent and then try and train them to grow across the tent rather then just into a bush if you follow me. Is this even possible with regular LST?

Advice?
Done with LST. I added a little overdrive.. just so anxious. My plants seem in line with pics from other Growers diaries. Any advice appreciated. Sometimes Iβm afraid I overdo it with early topping and I did a lot of lst on these. Iβm new at this. Thanks for reading! π±

Starting Training
I'm currently worried about my older plant set that seem to be constantly having the leaf edges curl and seem to be a little droopy and a little too dark green. Also I feel like I should be doing some sort of training. I would love to have some feedback on what you all think. βοΈ

Royal Creamatic training
What kinda training would you recommend for this strain? RQS say it tends to 'grow one big main bud with just a few small branches,' so would it still make sense to do LST here?

Low stress training wrong?

When to start 12/12
Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top. So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.

How do you measure your plants correctly?
When measuring the height of a plant do you measure from soil to top of canopy or is it the length of the main stem? MIne are trained sideways.π
