Hi there!
I would personally wait for few more nodes to grow before starting LST.
I Iike the results when you bend the plant with 4-6 nodes and after that keep training all those new tops that comes out of this.

LST you can start even in the 1st week of growth. The sooner the better especially if you are restricted by space. LST forces the growth hormones (auxins) in the secondary branches. Might be a bit too early for your plant to get LST (in the classic sense) but you can start torturing your girl and apply some bondage whenever you want.

I've seen people start LST just after sprouting on this site so I think it's safe. Just be very gentle as shes still young.

Should i take off the hooks (LST)Someone here told me that it is not fair to lay the girls on the ground as i did, because the leaves touches the soil.
Should i set them free to go up and continue the LST once the plant is some centimetres up?
Or should i leave it like this and keep going? I dunno what to do.

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think.
I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

Final stages of Veg! Am I missing anythingHeading into the last 2 weeks of Veg, are there any suggestions for things I should consider doing to help maximize this amazing grow so far.
First ever attempt at super-cropping, and it’s my 5th indoor project.
Never had such a low lush profile.
Looking forward to FlowerWeek 8

Topping or no topping? Or any training?High!
Im wondering if I should do any training to my sea of green grow. I mean I want to have a massive yield, but I don’t want them to grow in each other, so topping might be a bit over the top?😄😉
What do you think? Thank you very much✊4 years ago

Lst and pkI think it will be the last question, I’m questionning myself on lst and pk. I know lst doesn’t harm the plant but did I lst too much so that will answer to the question that they’re so f*ing slow or I’m just paranoid. Can I pk from week 2-3 to the last 10 days from harvest ?

Cutting leafAs you can see, one of the top leaf is covering light for side branches and I can't find a good way to avoid that by tying down the plant. I can't tie down the main top beacaue I don't want to damage the first signs of flowering. Can I cut that leaf or will it damageher too much?

LST or defoliation on autosI think I will need to defoliate a bit those bushy ladies, but I am not so confident about that because, from what I've read and since it's my first time growing autos, defoliation or lst is not advisable because it may stress them a looooot or am I wrong?4 years ago
