Should I LST ?
Shagrathanswered grow question 6y ago
Hi there!
I think it is too early to start Lst just yet. Maybe wait until she has 4-6 nodes before starting. This way you also have more lower branches and all of them will became new tops for you!

Id wait to bend her till she has at least a 5 leaf going. she's still a bit young imo.. Happy growing!

First time LSTWhat can I do to encourage a side stem to grow to the same size/thickness of the main stem?
I have tied the top down and tied a stem out a bit to get the light but not sure if I'm doing something wrong that's stopping it from looking like it should, thank you for any help! ššWeek 3

LST clipsAm I using these clips right?
The branches are aiming downwards and literally laying on the clay balls. I did try to bend the clips out a bit so they're not bending at such a sharp angle but they've gone back to shape. Is this going to damage or stress her too much?Techniques. LST

Why do my autos take longer than everyone else with same strainIf you live in a different part of the states or heavy LST make your autos take longer to grow. I see all these diaries that at 7-8 week thereās is not only way smaller ( I only have the diaries going now) and they are finished way sooner than when I have grown them. Thank youOther.

Well FML, pop goes the main stem.Trying to bend a little bit more, then that dreaded sound, "pop". Like snapping a fresh carrot it is the sound of heart break.
The tie had likely weakened that part of the stem, shouldn't be so aggressive.
Any suggestions on how to nurse this break and mend my broken heart?Plant. Other

!! OUTDOOR !! || LST on AUTOsNever had a satisfying LST when growing Autos outdoor, my idea is that suboptimal conditions of outdoor enviroment lead to slowed veg (compared to indoor) and low stretch. Maybe letting them grow without training in the end leads to bigger yield. What's your idea/experience?Buds. Too few
