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!

LST - Am I going to hard? -/- Harvest - What to expect?
Am I going to hard with the LST? Is it okay do make small adjustments every day or two? What do you think about the progress so far? I'm really wondering what harvest I can expect. Is it realistic to expect something between 20-40g per plant? Thanks everyone for taking the time

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?

Royal Creamatic training
What kinda training would you recommend for this strain? RQS say it tends to 'grow one big main bud with just a few small branches,' so would it still make sense to do LST here?

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. ✌️

When You recommend to start LST?
So, it is the question: when? I wanted to train them few times already, but scarring to broke yong trunks always stops me. Maybe I should wait more time to them produce heavy crone? What do You think about it?

SNAPPED MAIN STEM HALF WAY DURING WEEK 5 (still in Veg)
During LST I snapped the main stem of one of my Pineapple Express Autos. It very easily snapped almost completely off but it still has a few fibres left. I panicked &used duct tape and some sticks to keep it supported. Has anyone done this before? Is it successful? Yields effect?

What is a good method of training for increasing pistol site development and bud growth. I'm currently doing LST and just tucking fan leaves out if the way if developing sites. Is it okay to remove leaves at this point blocking sites? Should I wait till flowering and just tuck?

To LST or not to LST … that is the question
Should I LST?? I’m growing ILGM OG Kush auto flower. I know I probably should, but part of me wants to just let her rip and see what happens all natural. However I’m in a small tent (18x18x56) and the website says the plants usual height is about 40 inches. What would you do?
