Hi there! Yes that it just the way to do it! When the new tops grow up keep bending them down again!

Should I defoliate the lower nodes of the branches?
Wondering if I should defoliate the lower nodes of all the branches (as shown in the picture, white arrows pointing to what I am considering cutting) to maximize growth of each top. Thoughts?

LST attempt revamped
So I took the advice and added another tie at her base just so it's not pulling against her roots. I think I did it right. Top leaves are now pointing upward only after 1 hour after first tie...

Is it possible to use the lst method for an autoflowering plant, every time I see that you can bend and fix a branch under the lamp? I'm worried that it will be extra stressful for it, but I also don't want it to be too tall. When is it advisable to stop bending?

Should I stop LST yet?
How much longer should I be training my girl? I accidentally topped her very short early on so she has a low but very flat canopy. She started preflower last week and I am almost to the edge of the pot

Can I continue to tie down LST'd stem to horizontal or is there increased risk of breakage?
I tied down seedling plants 24hrs ago and they have straightened out much more quickly than I thought. My plan was to have the tied down stem elongate past the rim of the pot then allow it to grow vertical. Can I continue to straighten the stem π or are they set like Jello? π

Can i try LST or are they too stumpy?
looking to start LST but my plants don't have much spacing in between nodes height wise, and lots of nodes.. is it too late to try and start or would it be a bad idea due to there not being much room for new branches to then form once tied down? sorry for noob questions!

Removing "suckers" on autoflowers
I have these smaller growths on the lower part of my plant. They haven't really stretched out at all. I read that these smaller growths can suck available energy for the other buds. Can I cut these or just leave them and forget about them?

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?
