Lst would work great. Tip make sure you let equally on each side so your not putting pulling strain on the roots! Happy growing!

LST training
When do you think the best time to start LST training on your auto flower plants, earlier or later to avoid disturbing the root crown?

General feedback
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, to me the plant looks healthy, however it is a bit small considering it’s age, right? I’m thinking it may be because of the cheap ‘300W’ light I was using at the beginning of the grow. What do you guys think? (Video end of week 6)

I want to learn more about LST (low stress training) tecnic
I never done it before, but I’m sure it will improve my yield, maximizing resources, mainly light watts. Shall I start by bending the main cola, is it better for the shape of this plant? (+Speed auto from Sweet Seeds). Thank you 🙏 in advance for any insights.

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 I’m afraid I overdo it with early topping and I did a lot of lst on these. I’m new at this. Thanks for reading! 🌱

Has anyone had success giving their plant darkness before harvest? If so, what percentage of amber do you like to see before shutting out the light?

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?
What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!

Crecimiento estancado tras LST
The Orion F1s are not reacting well to LST. The growth is stalled. Did I maybe start too early? Does the strain not tolerate it well?

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. ✌️

Disaster! LST rips off entire growth tip after first topping! Any advice?
Hi all, I adjusted LST tension this morning and the entire growth tip snapped off. It was too small/fragile to tape so I put in rooting hormone solution and tried making a clone. What should I do with this plant now? Feeling discouraged.

American Cookies 1st grow - Nutrient Deficiency fixed? What about my LST with budclips?
What’s up? Updates on my previously unfed American Cookies: Looking better IMO, what do you think? Is the lack of nutrient fixed? I also did an LST with budclips on it to help utilize the space a little bit better, did I do it right?

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?

To LST or not to LST?
I have 2 healthy Automaria II, paradise seeds, 3 weeks after germination and 16 cm tall, on the balcony and I am tempted to bend one of them and practice some LST of FIMming to see the difference. I don’t know.. I don’t want to risk the final harvest quantity.. Any advise?
