Just wondering if it'd be good to do some LST on my baby, it's a Afghan Kush Ryder so will only be small I'd imagine looks like already early stages of flowering in week 3

iMpulsive_Growanswered grow question 5y ago

A key element of this training technique lies plainly in its name; “low stress” is what separates this method from “high stress” techniques like topping. Whereas the latter technique involves cutting off the plant’s main growing tip in an effort to redistribute growth hormone, LST is much gentler. Specially now that it’s showing flowering signs

LST Question for next grow!Hey guys do you think that this much lst is needed for an autoflower? It has 20+ tops and some more lower ones that I defoliated for the light to reach. Just asking for next grows,does it really up the yield if you have more tops or I could have the same yields with 10 tops max.

When to start 12/12 Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top. So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.

Did I start LST too early?At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?
