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. 👊

Training Automatics - best practices!Hi guys. How do you go about training automatics? Some say only LST, some don't hesitate to top several times and some say to just leave it grow by itself. I'd love to top'em a few times but I'm not sure. Please HALP! Thank you!

Accidentally bent/squished the stem on Pheno #3, is it possible it can bounce back?I was LST'ing the Purple Haze Pheno #3, I accidentally got a bend in the stem and it could have snapped or partially torn, I attached some photos hope these help. It was by accident, I have nerve damage and arthritis so I can't keep my hands still that much especially standing.2y ago

LSTGood day!
I have a question for experienced growers who've used LST.
The stem usually branches out to 2 branches, one of which is just one big leaf and the other branch has nodes & other branches.
Do you put the branch with the big leaf below the rest, above or prune it?
Thx!Leaves. Other

Defoliation every 3 days during floweringI heard about defoliation every 3 days during the first 3 weeks of flowering. My sweet critical CBD is almost ending her first week, I already defoliate once, but I think I have to work on it more to let branches grow. What do you think about it? Thank you all!3y ago
