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?

Is it possible to use the lst method for an autoflowering plant, every time I see that you can bend and fix a branch under the lamp? I'm worried that it will be extra stressful for it, but I also don't want it to be too tall. When is it advisable to stop bending?

This is my sour ripper and the truth is that I see it as robust and it is about to bloom, I think. I don't know if I would like to list it since I'm a novice as you can see in my peyote diary. does the lst make the buds denser?

Is this the LST everybody is talking about?
Everybody: Stress the plants as little as possible. Me: Proceed to drop a 110lbs maple tree on them.

Growing a plant across a tent using LST rather than into a bush
I’m growing two auto flowers in a 2x2 tent. Because of the small size of the grow space my idea was to put a pot in each corner of the tent and then try and train them to grow across the tent rather then just into a bush if you follow me. Is this even possible with regular LST?

Toping vs tucking the top down
This is my first time not toping my plant and am focusing on LST in by just tucking the top under my screen. Has anyone else done this and what were your results.

Well FML, pop goes the main stem.
Trying to bend a little bit more, then that dreaded sound, "pop". Like snapping a fresh carrot it is the sound of heart break. The tie had likely weakened that part of the stem, shouldn't be so aggressive. Any suggestions on how to nurse this break and mend my broken heart?

I just applied LST to my Blueberry Auto. I assume I did this correctly. How long should I keep her bent over before changing positions.

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!
The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.
When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.

Just did LST for the first time ever on my autoflower by day 16, curious to hear if I have performed it properly. Is it the main stalk bent enough? Have I started too late?

Did I wait too long to top?
I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?
