Hey Bro ๐. you have very beautiful plant ๐๐ฑ๐. 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 ๐๐ป

LST timing
I just topped my plant today, repotted and fertilized. How do I know when Itโs time to start LST? Obviously I wanna give her like 5 days to recover and get used to her new pot, but I really want to maximize this yield. Thanks!!โ

I acideently snapped a branch a little bit but it's still hanging on. Shall I cut it off or leave it?. She is an autoflower. Also should I cut off the very bottom leaf and new node its growing?

Two phenos started flowering at 23 days
They look just fine don't they? I mean a few top leaves have suffered some heat stress, and some leaves can seem a bit droopy for some reason (definitely not from overwatering). But the RH is only 30-35%, I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with that, lack of preferred RH.

Too many branches?
Have tied down the 8 main branches so that all are horizontally on the same level "Circle of Buds". Now there are a mass of new branches, should I let them all grow or should I reduce them?? She has a space of 55 x 45 cm horizontally. How many buds make sense at 55cm x 45cm?

More lst?
On lemon 2 should I perform more lst? I looked at bending down what branches I'd be able to and it didn't make too much of a difference in regarding to how bushy she is and also the branches are starting to get quite rigid now. 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.๐

Top her off THEN LST?
Growing a tangerine dream auto sheโs a few weeks old and growing nicely. I hear this one can get large, even tho itโs an auto. So I was thinking to top the plant AND then start LST to keep her from getting too big. Does this make sense? Or LST first then top? Thanks!

Training Automatics - best practices!
Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you! (Pic pretty unrelated, it's my last Mimosa EVO)
