You will want some rubber coated wires for your plant to feel comfortable with, but I guess you can also use the ones you already have, as long as they don’t have cutting edges that may damage your bby. I just wonder if it isn’t a pain in the ass to bend those steel wires.
As for the LST just gently bend her one side and tie up the base of the stem so you won’t hurt the roots. Than you wait for her to push back and basically just continue with the LST until aprox. the middle of flowering stage when she stops growing.
However I’d wait a bit more if I were you, you’ll want at least 4 nodes before LST imo.
Hope that helps, cheers

The great thing about dollar stores is cheap steel lol it looks pretty thick 👌 but it's not strong...but strong enough to hold a plant....I hope. Thank you that was a great answer, I was wondering if I should wait and you just put it to rest. It's a little bushy down there and hard to tell but there are 4 she's on 5...I got shiny PVC hitting at all angles....

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic hereIs it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

LST and ToppingI am starting to feed them nutrients and they are growing faster lately. I am considering starting LST and topping next week. LST when it reaches 4/5 nodes, and topping above the 5th node. Do you have any tips on how to perform this the best way ? Thank you in advance !

Is that LST correct? (senna auto)My plant is 25 days old today, yesterday I did an LST, today it has adjusted and rearranged upwards again. I pulled the wire a little more, I want you to judge if this is correct or if I can adapt something better? (OBS: It's a Senna AUTO)

LSTGood day!
I have a question for experienced growers who've used LST.
The stem usually branches out to 2 branches, one of which is just one big leaf and the other branch has nodes & other branches.
Do you put the branch with the big leaf below the rest, above or prune it?
Thx!

To LST or not to LST?I have 2 healthy Automaria II, paradise seeds, 3 weeks after germination and 16 cm tall, on the balcony and I am tempted to bend one of them and practice some LST of FIMming to see the difference. I don’t know.. I don’t want to risk the final harvest quantity.. Any advise?
