Out of curiosity, very early LST? Pic seen on Instagram
Thatsmyfirsttimestarted grow question 5 years ago
Hey! I saw a photo depicting a seedling about 1 week old pinned down to the ground. Never seen anything like this. What could be the reason for this sort of early LST? Is it necessary? Is it good or dangerous? Thank you :)

Just because it can be done doesn't mean it's a good thing, lol. Probabyl some extreme form of mainlining? Sounds like a good way to cause mold/fungus on your stem to me. If covered from, it'll grow roots in the air, if you want it to. Doesn't do any good, unless you are cutting a clone off there.

Ye I mean, my seedlings seems SO delicate right now and they're 1 week old, I would never do something like that :( I asked the grower who posted that photo and I will post his answer here. Anyway, seems a bad idea to me

I would think that seems to be a little to early to do anything like that to them. Treat your girls right and they will reward you!

Hey there 👋
That sounds like a terrible idea. The whole point of lst is to allow side branches and bud sites to receive more light. The plant hasn’t actually established itself yet, nor has it began to grow side branches/bud sites.
Most growers wait until at least the 3 node.
Happy Growing 🌱

To LST or No LST?Does practicing LST on autoflowers actually increase your yield? I ask this because I look at people who grow without any training at all and they seem to have way more bud sites. I prefer an answer from someone who has experience growing both ways. ThanksWeek 9

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?Week 3

Starting TrainingI'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. ✌️5 years ago
