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. 👊

How to stop bending properly?
I got a 100% valid information that it is better not to band my strain at all. How to stop bending properly? Just remove the ropes or some more stretched approach?

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 :/

Hi guys, is it ok to defoliate some leafs while doing LST at the early stage of growing to get more light for the buds? Clones, day 10 after transplanting.

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.

Hello! do I LST my auto flowers or do I let them do their thing? please help ( for grow 2 diary 2)
hello! fastbuds recommends to tie down the side branches to increase yield, but for an auto is it not better to just leave it alone? I am lost. Zamnesia gives no recommendations. I'd like to get the most out of both my plants

New to growing and first time in flowering stage. How late into flowering do people train their plants by using tie downs? When should you leave your plant alone and let it grow? How late can you super crop? Thanks

will she became too comfy to get training?
Im not planning to make lamp-plant dist. bigger, also dont want to gave up on the 24 per day light feed. She will grow like a bush, and thats nice but wont this affect her training manageability for the next weeks? If the folia remains this dense, she might not appreciate bondage

When should I LST and add Nutrients?
Wanted to low stress train this plant if I am able too.I am not really sure when to start, does the plant look old enough to begin introducing this technique? Should I wait another week? Also when should I start feeding the plant nutrients? It’s still growing pretty fast.
