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! š¤š

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

My question is concerning the use of LST, and it's correlation to longer than usual harvest times. It seems all the growers I follow whom train/defoliate their plants consistently harvest as much as 6 weeks later than what the breeder calls for. Any thoughts?

LST after Topping
When would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?
What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!
