Starting Training I'm currently worried about my older plant set that seem to be constantly having the leaf edges curl and seem to be a little droopy and a little too dark green. Also I feel like I should be doing some sort of training. I would love to have some feedback on what you all think. ✌️

LST Hey everyone! I snapped a branch very badly 4 days ago, i taped it immediately. One leaf died on that part of that branch but she’s recovering im sure because this branch started growing again. My question is how long should i wait before trying lst again on that branch?One week?

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 ?

General LST questions (how am I doing?)Should I be constantly changing the direction of the tie down on my main stem during LST or should I just be tying down new growth on bud sites? should I defoliate or use thinner ties (Using rubber coated wire) and should I let small growth grow up first or tie it down ASAP?

Rate my LST Third round of topping. Trying to bend the branches in the usual way so "pulling down", the "Y split" in the topping sites always break/open. So I'm trying this way with ropes and engraved sticks to PUSH the branches away from the inside. What do you think? Alternatives? -DD

She will grow like a bush, and thats nice but wont this affect her training manageability for the next weeks? If the folia remains this dense, she might not appreciate bondage
