Thanks

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

Spiral LST vs Topdressing/mulchSpiral LST vs topdressing/mulch.. I planned on training like shown in picture, just not sure how this will work out with 1" of mulch and a monthly topdressing with all the pegs/wires, might get tricky. Thought about bending all sec branches to the outside vs 1out 1in?? Cheers5y ago

Should i take off the hooks (LST)Someone here told me that it is not fair to lay the girls on the ground as i did, because the leaves touches the soil.
Should i set them free to go up and continue the LST once the plant is some centimetres up?
Or should i leave it like this and keep going? I dunno what to do.Week 4

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!Techniques. LST
