Hi. I started LST when I had 6 nodes ( 6 tier of leaves) just be careful you donβt snap your main stem when you bend her over. Good luck. π

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

Is that LST correct? (senna auto)
My plant is 25 days old today, yesterday I did an LST, today it has adjusted and rearranged upwards again. I pulled the wire a little more, I want you to judge if this is correct or if I can adapt something better? (OBS: It's a Senna AUTO)

LST - How far down should I pull the stems? If the leaves touch the media, too far? Try and go down as far as possible without breaking? Or just as long as the upper leaves aren't casting shade below?

What are my chances of a cutting that was only meant to be stretched with LST, string surviving without any root products. Its placed directly into a grow cube, with water and then the mini greenhouse. I have a perfect LED grow light gently willing it on. WILL IT SURVIVE???

HST or LST for short plants?
Should a plant with very small internodal distance get topped or is LST + scrog probably enough to open her up?

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.

Need tips/help with very very bushy plant
Potted for almost 6 weeks, grows super super bushy (already has 12 branches (6 nodes?), branches are so short that I can't even LST them. I guess she grows like that because of her genetics but maybe there's a way how to 'fix' her? Topped once, strain RQS Triple G

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

I want to learn more about LST (low stress training) tecnic
I never done it before, but Iβm sure it will improve my yield, maximizing resources, mainly light watts. Shall I start by bending the main cola, is it better for the shape of this plant? (+Speed auto from Sweet Seeds). Thank you π in advance for any insights.
