Hey
You can start doing LST whenever you're ready, it can handle gentle tying at this young age or you could wait for it to get a little taller. But definitely do it while the plant is still flexible and able to bend, versus waiting too long and the stems get all woody and stiff.
With the topping you want several sets of true leaves before you begin, typically between 5-7 sets. So it looks like you need at least another 3 sets to open up.
But the lst you could do now if you want that since smooth bend.
Happy growing ✌️

Wait until she's at least double that size and tall enough to benefit from some bending over. Who doesn't like bending their girl over? I prefer this to topping and you can get very similar results and yield without cutting anything off. 👍🌱

You can top when your plant hits about 5 nodes.. if your planning on only lst then this is also a good time to start. I personally top down to the third node and start lst the growth out. Hope this helps! Happy Growing. 👊

Advice?Done with LST. I added a little overdrive.. just so anxious. My plants seem in line with pics from other Growers diaries. Any advice appreciated. Sometimes I’m afraid I overdo it with early topping and I did a lot of lst on these. I’m new at this. Thanks for reading! 🌱

Late LST - Week 5.5 - Done correctly?I have decided to begin LST, despite the risks of stressing the plant at this stage.
I figured with it being a hardy strain, it may tolerate the stress and the benefits may outweigh the risks.
Have I done it right?

Plants growing at different ratesI have 4 different Sativas on the go - 2 of them are really stretching tall, and I'm having to really train them hard to keep them relatively the same height as the other 2. How best to handle plants of the differing heights and grow rates in a 4x4 tent?

Removing "suckers" on autoflowersI have these smaller growths on the lower part of my plant. They haven't really stretched out at all. I read that these smaller growths can suck available energy for the other buds.
Can I cut these or just leave them and forget about them?

Are my 2 auto’s at a stage where I should be topping them?Are my plants at the stage where I should be either topping or trying out some LST? First time grower here, so not sure if I should be doing any training, just to see how it goes. Any help would be super appreciated!

She's getting too tall!2x2x4 tent, flipped to 12/12 A week ago, and removed my LST plant ties at the same time to make watering easier. She's getting tall though, and now I'm thinking of putting the ties back on. Will that even help? Should I try something else? the pics are about 1 week apart

What leaves are ok to remove?Hi! Is it fine to remove the upper fan leaves on this plant as well or should I wait thill the side branches get bigger leaves? I removed the lowers leaves after LST so nothing touches the soil, but some of them are blocking a bit light for the new growth. Thanks!

Will the branch recover from a crack?Accidentaly cracked one branch during the LST. Should I let it as it is and wait for it to recover, or should I remove the branch completely?
