LST DAY
BufoAlvarez
started grow question 6y ago
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?

Grow method advice
I want to grow plants tall however considered doing LST. Any suggestions on growing techniques here, maybe topping instead? If i do LST does that mean they wont grow up tall? Was thinking of doing different methods but want them all to be the same height. Also want good yield.

Removing "suckers" on autoflowers
I have these smaller growths on the lower part of my plant. They haven't really stretched out at all. I read that these smaller growths can suck available energy for the other buds. Can I cut these or just leave them and forget about them?

She's getting too tall!
2x2x4 tent, flipped to 12/12 A week ago, and removed my LST plant ties at the same time to make watering easier. She's getting tall though, and now I'm thinking of putting the ties back on. Will that even help? Should I try something else? the pics are about 1 week apart

Hey! When should LST be stopped? Currently day 32, pistils all over, she’s been loving the lst and defoliation so far, my only concern is doing to much LST and preventing the stretch from happening, any advice is appreciated! Many thanks!

Improving LST in textil pots ?
Do you have any advice for me for my LST? Because I am in a textile pot and it is not very practical to make hanging points ... I try to make it turn in a "spiral" to maximize the space.

What about poneytailing leaves for better sun penetration instead of trimming them ? (kinky post)
It probably exists but I've never seen it. I poneytailed leaves instead of defoliating them, since it's their ultimate food suppply. Mostly the big ones not near the buds, can I do that on the main bud leaves ? Anyone uses this technique ? Is that a bad idea ? Did I over do it ?

Info about frequency of LST/SCROG the main stem
Should I keep bending my auto’s main stem back under the SCROG net daily if it keeps straightening? It’s Week 3, I'm going straight with SCROG. Worried about stress, I have to wait a few days between adjustments or keep tucking daily?
