You will need an anchor at the bottom of the stem pulling the opposite direction so the LST doesn't stress the roots.

Put another string at the base of the plant in the oposite direction so you have better curvature

Have just noticed that my slow lemon plant seems to have had a slight rupture, don't really know how it's still ok as it looks like it happened long enough ago for it to heal kinda... Guessing I got a bit heavy handed with the LST in a tired stoned state... Should I do something?

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?

How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?
Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?
Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

Will the branch recover from a crack?
Accidentaly cracked one branch during the LST. Should I let it as it is and wait for it to recover, or should I remove the branch completely? She is an autoflower Royal Bluematic in the 3rd week of veg. Thanks for the tips :)

Have I ruined it?
Is this plant saveable? I’ve completely snapped the main stem while doing LST. I’ve put a small stake in the stem to hold it together and taped in up. Is she likely to recover or should I just start again?

Can i try LST or are they too stumpy?
looking to start LST but my plants don't have much spacing in between nodes height wise, and lots of nodes.. is it too late to try and start or would it be a bad idea due to there not being much room for new branches to then form once tied down? sorry for noob questions!

Whats up with the side branches? Shouldn't they be bigger and more developed? And btw, how does the LST look? Am I doing it right?

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?

LST and Autoflowers
Was wondering when doing LST with these autos if I should untie them at any point? Stop forming them at any point? Stay on it until they are done? I have been going in and kinda re-rigging them every few days but just wondering when to call it a day? Thanks guys!

Start training her on week 2?
I want to LST one of the two plants while trying HST on the other one. One is organic (darker perlite pic), the other one is not. Advices on when to start and wich one is better for HST? They are both bending naturally so I was thinking about start bending them on week 2 already.
