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!

If you use LST on autoflowers, is there any chance for them to finish later? I had an experience where I did LST on auto and it took more than 15 weeks to finish her cycle. She stressed out a bit, though. And how is it possible that some people achieve 8 weeks veg with autos?

LST correct?
Another week, another question lol eh knowledge is power 😝 Just want my first grow to be a success 🤞 Am I doing LST correctly? I've tied it down near the top of the main stem. Should I be tying the smaller stems too, to separate the canopy more?

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 :)

LST timing
I just topped my plant today, repotted and fertilized. How do I know when It’s time to start LST? Obviously I wanna give her like 5 days to recover and get used to her new pot, but I really want to maximize this yield. Thanks!!’

First indoor: how do they look at day 28?
Hi everyone! First indoor grow: Spider Farmer 60x120x180 + SF2000 200W. Plants are 28 days old. Z Up showed pistils on day 23, Gorilla Cookies on day 24, a bit odd since early growth, while Strawberry Gorilla still none. Thoughts?

Continue tie-down or start using a scrog net
Since it seems like I can do LST for quite a while longer, and I do technically have a scrog net lying around;Would you guys continue with the tie-down method, or position a scrog net 5-10 cm over the current canopy and guide the plant through the net? Just don't wanna over do it
