NobodysBudsanswered grow question 5y ago
Looks good. Give it a little more bend to shape it so it isn't overly stressed by tie-down.
the rope or whatever should just have to resist the plant's urge to straighten out (hydrostatic pressure). Get the resistance down by gently bending ina few spots. Keep it fairly horizontal and all growth along that horizontal portion will be fairly even. Height of the growth will have some say about dominance too.
anything below the bend will get reduced resources. Lopping it off is sometimes a good idea -- depends on length you intend to vege or if autoflower maybe never a good idea. The longer you grow it, the further behind those lowest limbs below bend get.

This is my first experience growing indoors and also growing autos. Do you guys think the Northern Lights will survive ? It will recover in some way (I don't care about lower shields) ? Or should I just end it and focus on the other two plants ?
BTW, this community is amazing

Growing a plant across a tent using LST rather than into a bushI’m growing two auto flowers in a 2x2 tent. Because of the small size of the grow space my idea was to put a pot in each corner of the tent and then try and train them to grow across the tent rather then just into a bush if you follow me. Is this even possible with regular LST?Techniques. LST

First time LSTWhat can I do to encourage a side stem to grow to the same size/thickness of the main stem?
I have tied the top down and tied a stem out a bit to get the light but not sure if I'm doing something wrong that's stopping it from looking like it should, thank you for any help! 😊😊Week 3

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?
