answered grow question 6y ago
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. 👊

LST - How to Scrog help
Looking for advice on how to use a SCROG auto. Bought one to try LST but confused how it works. Looking at videos people just seem to squash on top during veg. Am I too late/early with it? Does it just grow into it or do I need to use the tie down method TOO? Doesnt look right :/

Topping and LST autoflower
I have a 2.5 week old seedling that is only ~3 inches tall, but I just topped/fimmed the 5th node. I plan on starting LST, how long should I wait before tying them down? She is currently in a 3 gallon.

Cracked branch.
I was LST last night i cracked on of the main branches. It cracked at the base. It was only a small one it still could hold its own weight. But I tapes it up and staked it. My question is will it stress it out? I'm almost in week 6. I'd the plant gonna stop growing to heal?

Lst...round stem?...like a spiral I guess.
What am I doing?....see how I bent her almost out of the pot, I don't want that and don't have the space for that. I want to keep it simple and small. Am I doing right or did I do a shnoot.

LST and defoliation
I am trying lst on 2 plants (not in a diary). In week 2, I pinned the main stem down. In week 3 did it again so the main stem is laying flat. Lots of foliage. Should I be removing any leaves yet? And if so which ones?

It looks like my plant is dieing! Plants turning brown after intense watering period
Did I drown my plant? Stress it? I gave a lot of water in a short duration of time, and now 7 days later she is looking terrible! Read my diary on week 17 for more info!

First time LST
First time trying LST. I have very limited space and my plant is getting bushy, so I used garden wire + clips to bend her down (see pics). Not sure if I did it right. Any tips or corrections are welcome!

LST - How far down should I pull the stems? If the leaves touch the media, too far? Try and go down as far as possible without breaking? Or just as long as the upper leaves aren't casting shade below?
