I did LST at day 20 and she adapted perfectly. Don’t hesitate, she is strong. (We grow the same plant)

Hey there 👋 I’d say she’s big enough. Some people say to wait for the first true leaves, others say to wait till she’s grown her 3rd node. Either way- It looks like your already there Happy Growing 🌱

Have I done LST correctly here?
Have I done LST correctly here? - first time grower. Not sure if I should be doing anymore or wait till it grows into it. Also the leaves feel too low down and some of them are touching the soil.

LST + SOG - Should/could I remove the LST ties once I place a trelace net over the plants? My plants haven't grown upwards much due to the training/tying down to the pot... A tent and filtration are enroute to support operation, prior to flowering...

Topping/LST in same week or one week apart?
Regarding manifolding/mainlining: Is there any difference or what would be preferred between: Topping as early as possible in week1 and LST new growtips in week2 vs letting stuff grow out for 2 weeks and Top and LST new growtips at the same time? Cheers 👍

Advice for beginners
Ok too cool thank you very much :) Unfortunately I had to launch my autoflowering session in 5.5L and 6L pots because I have not yet received the 10L Air pots. Good culture and nice Growdiaries page :)

What are my chances of a cutting that was only meant to be stretched with LST, string surviving without any root products. Its placed directly into a grow cube, with water and then the mini greenhouse. I have a perfect LED grow light gently willing it on. WILL IT SURVIVE???

Can i try LST or are they too stumpy?
looking to start LST but my plants don't have much spacing in between nodes height wise, and lots of nodes.. is it too late to try and start or would it be a bad idea due to there not being much room for new branches to then form once tied down? sorry for noob questions!

Improving LST in textil pots ?
Do you have any advice for me for my LST? Because I am in a textile pot and it is not very practical to make hanging points ... I try to make it turn in a "spiral" to maximize the space.

Have I ruined it?
Is this plant saveable? I’ve completely snapped the main stem while doing LST. I’ve put a small stake in the stem to hold it together and taped in up. Is she likely to recover or should I just start again?

LST, is it good?
I have a question about my LST, my first, so if you have any advice. I want to do basically SCROG, with 6 branches and the two from topping. Do you think her first two branches will be able to get to the top? They are not growing much,thinking about lollipoping them before flower

Top her off THEN LST?
Growing a tangerine dream auto she’s a few weeks old and growing nicely. I hear this one can get large, even tho it’s 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!

LST timing
I just topped my plant today, repotted and fertilized. How do I know when It’s 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!!’
