LST on rigid main stem
Bloombusteranswered grow question 6y ago
You've got an adult plant, bro! Yeah, it’ll be tough to bend it without breaking. But let me give you a tip, don’t water it the day before bending, let the plant's tissues become more pliable for training! The more water in the plant's tissues, the higher the chance of breaking, and then LST turns into HST! 👆 But in your flowering stage, those are completely unnecessary adjustments! I have a diary for mobydick xxl autoflower, check out week 4 and take a close look at the 7th photo! It's a really good guide for training at an adult age! 👌 I bent it on the second day without watering, as you can see the stem was already impressive and it held up! 👌 Good luck, bro! ✊😇

You can actually apply a technique called supercropping. Here's a great link with a ton of info on it..

Was this LST the correct move?I felt like this girl was getting a bit too bushy and dense so i spread her out a little bit,
I was wondering if maybe i was going a little too hard considering she probably wont stretch much more and is mostly focused on flowering.

Just did my first LST. Any thoughts?Hello!
This is my first time doing LST. This auto flower is about 3.5 weeks old, and I just tied it down in two spots. Do you think this is a good start to Listing, or is it too much bending? Too little?
Thanks to all who take the time to answer! 🌿🍅

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 ?

LST and questions in week 4 commentI tried lst on the tallest one, I felt a rip maybe roots? Anchored and bent a little. Gorilla I tied a few branches down to let some light underneath was it worth? Good experience none the less. I also have couple questions in week 4 comment. Really loving my first Grow so far :)

Topping/LST in same week or one week apart?Regarding manifolding/mainlining:
Is there any difference or what would be preferred between:
Topping as early as possible in week1 and LST new growtips in week2 vs letting stuff grow out for 2 weeks and Top and LST new growtips at the same time? Cheers 👍6y ago

Defoliation/LST for Northern Lights AutoHello! I am struggling a bit with deformation on my NL auto. Please see pics from week 7. This is after defoliation and it looks like fan leaves will overshadow cola sites again in a few days. Should I defoliate more or leave it? Currently managing with LST but leaves are getting bunched.

Accidently topped my autoflower, we it survive/rebound?Day 24 in my first ever grow. Mephisto northern cheese haze auto. Did a round of LST/Tucking last night, woke up to a fully broken off top growth of the main stem, effectively topping it(?). Is there anything I can/should do? Will it bounce back or should I start another grow?

First time LSTWhat can I do to encourage a side stem to grow to the same size/thickness of the main stem?
I have tied the top down and tied a stem out a bit to get the light but not sure if I'm doing something wrong that's stopping it from looking like it should, thank you for any help! 😊😊Week 3
