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!

LST - am I doing it right?I figured I could try training my plant by LST and since I am very new to this and generally don't want to kill my ladies could you please comment on the way I have done it? Plants held with plastic coated paper clips, because I am lazy but creative :) Also is it safe?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

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?Week 3
