it should recover, but it will be stunted slightly.. next time when you lst also do it from the opposite side so you don't put any stress on your root mass.. hope this helps.. Happy growing. š

I want to learn more about LST (low stress training) tecnicI never done it before, but Iām sure it will improve my yield, maximizing resources, mainly light watts. Shall I start by bending the main cola, is it better for the shape of this plant? (+Speed auto from Sweet Seeds). Thank you š in advance for any insights.Week 1

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.5y ago

General LST questions (how am I doing?)Should I be constantly changing the direction of the tie down on my main stem during LST or should I just be tying down new growth on bud sites? should I defoliate or use thinner ties (Using rubber coated wire) and should I let small growth grow up first or tie it down ASAP?Techniques.

Leaf Spots, weak color, and leaf ripplePlease help me identify possible causes of this: small spots on leaves, minor color fade (not burn) along edges, and strange 'ripple' effect.
A user commented that he thought my plants looked deficient but hasn't elaborated further yet.
What might this be? Multiple issues?5y ago
