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 :)

She's getting too tall!
2x2x4 tent, flipped to 12/12 A week ago, and removed my LST plant ties at the same time to make watering easier. She's getting tall though, and now I'm thinking of putting the ties back on. Will that even help? Should I try something else? the pics are about 1 week apart

Will the branch recover from a crack?
Accidentaly cracked one branch during the LST. Should I let it as it is and wait for it to recover, or should I remove the branch completely? She is an autoflower Royal Bluematic in the 3rd week of veg. Thanks for the tips :)

Low-Stress Training, Pre-flower Concerns
When low-stress training, is it better to make sure the pistils of preflowering stage are covered by leaves or are they ok to be exposed to light? I thought they may be to vulnerable for full light exposure (150w FLS led, Royal Dwarf Auto, pre-flower stage)

Remove or tie down fan leaves?
Hi guys, what's the better option, removing big ass fan leaves to give bud nodes more exposure to light or tie fan leaves down? I tied a few down but don't know if that's a good idea. Help is greatly appreciated ;)

LST - Am I going to hard? -/- Harvest - What to expect?
Am I going to hard with the LST? Is it okay do make small adjustments every day or two? What do you think about the progress so far? I'm really wondering what harvest I can expect. Is it realistic to expect something between 20-40g per plant? Thanks everyone for taking the time

Will this tape repair a broken stem?
Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Training Plants to early ?
I have 1 plant that towers above the others, should I already tie it down with LST? Should I bend the whole plant or the shoots? or is that too early for the plant on DAY 14?

LST Defo = This?
It's my first time doing LST and defoliation. And even after many years growing outdoors and reading so much, still would like to hear second opinions to make sure I'm doing it 'right'. She's fed right after training and defoliation to help recover. Opinions? Thanks

Beginner worried she started LST on auto too soon.
Question about LST autos (see photos). I read LST should start early with autos, but I am worried I might be starting too soon. I started with plant 3, but it just flopped right over (I didn't have to pull it), so I stopped. Is this ok, or should I wait? The others?

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?
I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant. Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all? First Grow. Started balcony, moved to tent D23. SF-1000 light, 100% at ~ 55cm from canopy.

Removing "suckers" on autoflowers
I have these smaller growths on the lower part of my plant. They haven't really stretched out at all. I read that these smaller growths can suck available energy for the other buds. Can I cut these or just leave them and forget about them?
