Hi. I started LST when I had 6 nodes ( 6 tier of leaves) just be careful you don’t snap your main stem when you bend her over. Good luck. 🍁

I will give it some time then. Mine has 3 nodes and not fully grown. I will wait for 4/5 fully-grown nodes.

Disaster! LST rips off entire growth tip after first topping! Any advice?
Hi all, I adjusted LST tension this morning and the entire growth tip snapped off. It was too small/fragile to tape so I put in rooting hormone solution and tried making a clone. What should I do with this plant now? Feeling discouraged.

leaf !?... no real problem.. is it a stress due to excessive handling of fertilizers or the breaking of the field in stops and leaves for training?
good morning guys I noticed some burnt leaves I don't understand if it was a slight lowering of the level of the dwc ..because I noticed some slightly dry upper roots then I increased the level and after the roots improved ... I don't understand if that machine is due to stress o

LST and ScrOG
Hi, I'm a beginner grower, I only used LST once in my past diary and didn't master it all the way. I'm growing in hydro and the container I'm growing in makes LST a little difficult for me. My plant is auto .Can I start with LST and then switch to ScrOG for easier manipulation?

LST or scrog?
As a first time grower, would you recommend traditional LST or a trellis net? I'm growing 3 plants in a 2x4 tent if that helps? Just wondering what the easiest and least prone to me screwing it up. Thanks in advance.

More lst?
On lemon 2 should I perform more lst? I looked at bending down what branches I'd be able to and it didn't make too much of a difference in regarding to how bushy she is and also the branches are starting to get quite rigid now. Thanks.

When stop LST?
First time grower here. Have been doing LST, and it seems to work well. I've just spotted pistols, so she is starting to flower now. So my question is, should I stop LST? Should I remove the (padded) wires? Or, when do I stop? Or should I keep LST until I harvest the flowers?

Focusing on Full Healthy Buds
I think my baby autos went to Flower way too early and I’m not too sure where or when I made the mistake. With that being said I know my yield won’t be huge (as I am expecting this since this is my first grow) but is there any way that I can maximize the size of my buds?

Should I Stop LSTing the Northern Lights Auto since its stretching a lot ?
as title says im comparing the shape of my plant to other growers and since I have been dropping the main cola height it has become more of a circle rather the long sticks ready to be filled with bud.

Removal of fan leaves touching the medium
When performing LST, would you guys remove the fan leaves touching the medium or leave them on? I am just worried that they might catch mold due to the irrigation.
