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. 👊

Was this LST the correct move?I felt like this girl was getting a bit too bushy and dense so i spread her out a little bit,
I was wondering if maybe i was going a little too hard considering she probably wont stretch much more and is mostly focused on flowering.Week 8

LST after ToppingWhen would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!Techniques. LST

LST : now or later ?Hi guys !
I'd like to try LST on these sisters.
Just wondering, looking at the latest photos do you think they're tall enough ? Or should I wait a bit more ?
Also in which direction should I tie them down to maximize yield ?
Thank you in advance ! 🍃☀️Week 3

PREFLOWER or PARANOID!?!?!?As this is my first grow i just want to get other opinions and be more confident but i believe that this plant is starting to preflower... correct? Plants are at day 23 from seed but seem to be stunted from what i think was high light intensity during the first few days of life.Buds. Other
