Bent stem LST
Seratram
started grow question 5y 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.

Can I continue to tie down LST'd stem to horizontal or is there increased risk of breakage?
I tied down seedling plants 24hrs ago and they have straightened out much more quickly than I thought. My plan was to have the tied down stem elongate past the rim of the pot then allow it to grow vertical. Can I continue to straighten the stem 😄 or are they set like Jello? 😔

Does this LST look fine? Have them inside under the LEDs now that the sun is down. Primarily spend their time outside.

Hi! Because my tent is too small, I need grow my plants to be as small as possible. My ideal high is 30-40 cm max. What is the best way to achieve this? LST or TOPing? I think i prefer only LST so where is the best time for start? And the best floor for a "bend"? Thx!
