ZipCapstarted grow question 6y ago

Hello, I'm considering doing LST and topping at the same time. Is it okay for the ladies or is it too much stress at once?

It's fine, top the plant first and then bend her over for a nice even canopy, keep tying the tallest ones down

Too broken to save?Aaaand I’ve completely disregarded my own plan of letting these girls grow naturally, and accidentally snapped the main stalk. Pretty much entirely across. I immediately taped it. But being that it’s an auto, is it even worth doing this?

Enough LST for an autoflower?I was wondering how much LST and how intense the LST on an auto should be? I heard you shouldn't stress autos too much, that's why I'm extra careful and wanted to ask. (And yes I know it's overwatered, I'm letting it dry out at the moment)

Height of Scrog Net over Autos How high to place the scrognet over the auto flowers (pic below is 10 cm above the 15 cm tall plants), for them to stretch somewhat to still fill the net. The plants are in week 4 now.

When stop LST?First time grower here. Have been doing LST, and it seems to work well. I've just spotted pistols, so she is starting to flower now. So my question is, should I stop LST? Should I remove the (padded) wires? Or, when do I stop? Or should I keep LST until I harvest the flowers?

I met this kid yesterday that said he waters his plants every day and not to LST. My plan was to make the plants grow in a spiral essentially. I just wanted to hear everyone else’s opinion on this kids statements. He has like 2.5 grows under his belt where I only have .33 grows.

Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time grower I tried to top 2 plants in the same way but one main shoot stopped growing, but the other had two new growths come right out of the old stem, as well as 2 bushier side stems. I am just wondering what I did differently and if both plants should work out fine. Video to show...
