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.

I know I said I'm out of grow space. But this plant is a complete bonsai I messed up good I think lol. If I keep her in veg?
Quick question...could I turn this bad girl into a mother plant? If I keep her in veg and clone, plant her outside. Or make a grow tent just for her? The main stalk is twisted like hell and I'm continuing the pull around the pot...

Water and LST
It's my first Grow, going into week 3 should I go above 0.5ltr per pot? I want to try lst, I only have pipe cleaners and I don't think they are quite big enough for me to try lst yet should I wait a couple more days or just go for it?

When to stop LST with autos? I have no experience... they are in week 4 now and it seems like they have started to pre-flower. Should I continue LST throughout week 4 or rather stop and let the plants do their thing?

LST DAY
I'm stressing over LST. I believe it is time. Going to get some materials for it now. If you look at my latest video though you notice my first plan stem is super thick already at 19 days, did i wait too long for lst for that particular plant?

LST during flower
Is it okay to still perform LST during flowering? I've Been doing some very minor defoliation on tiny bud sites down low that aren't getting any light. I want to tie down some more branches but I also don't want to stress it too much at this stage. Just one week into flowing.
