Bent stem LST
Seratram
started grow question 6y ago
So I did LST but fucked up and bent the stem a little. Should I just let it heal by itself or should I do something? It's an automatic quick one Thanks

You can either brace it with some painters tape and a pencil to act as a splint. Or just let it heal up bent and enjoy the extra tops! 🤟😜

It's looks fine. If it can support itself while healing, no need for action. If not, tape it up.

LST stakes and ties
I have a question, do I remove the tie downs and stakes I used for LST? And if so when do remove, before flower? Also did I train them too close to the pot? First pic is start os LST and second is as of today [foliage and minor training for better air circulation]

I did an LST last time, but I'm not sure I did it right. Can you please tell me, given that the lateral branches are already very active, but the trun
should I do an LST in a 4-5 days? And maybe some tips. Last time I anchored the plant from the bottom so that the roots wouldn't come out of the ground from below and the stem wouldn't bend so much, and then pulled the stem over the top, is this correct?

Stop bending?
Should I stop bending the branches down now and gain height? Or should I keep it flat for a couple more nodes?

LST Large pot
This is my first grow with multiple plants in 1 pot. And my first grow in a 20 gallon pot. These are autos. What is the easiest way to train these girls and spread them out?

Royal Creamatic training
What kinda training would you recommend for this strain? RQS say it tends to 'grow one big main bud with just a few small branches,' so would it still make sense to do LST here?

Is it time for LST?
Do you think I should start LST for ALH girls or wait a while? Friends who do the same Grow usually continue by doing LST on the 3rd and 5th weeks. I would be glad if you examine the photos below and enlighten me on this subject.

Lst advise
@Fast_Buds, please could you advise if I should keep tying down side branches and training my autos seeing that they have started to show pre-flowering signs? I did some LsT last night and noticed they have just started to show pre-flower signs… is it best to leave them now?

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?

Cracked branch.
I was LST last night i cracked on of the main branches. It cracked at the base. It was only a small one it still could hold its own weight. But I tapes it up and staked it. My question is will it stress it out? I'm almost in week 6. I'd the plant gonna stop growing to heal?
