LST attempt

Khmma46511started grow question 5 years ago

So I built up enough guts to do attempt LST. I used vegetable wire, left it loose around the stem. Scared to death but I did it.. I hope it's right. She bent really easy... 🤞 any input would be much appreciated

You’ll need an anchor at the bottom of the stem pulling her the opposite way to reduce root stress looks good otherwise!👊🏼 You’ll see the top facing up by tomorrow morning. Quite amazing

Magic made the only point I would also.. Brace her opposite the bend.. so it's pulling against your brace and not on her roots.. 👊

Today is day 20 from seed, and i decided to lst my seedlings, even if some friends suggested to wait until the 4th week. What do you guys think? Since autos are so fast at vegging i thought it was better to lst them now.

Space..Not enough space. I havent got experience with autoflowers, they are bigger then i expected, with so many tops. Is better to take smallest one (verry short pheno-left Down corner)away for better yields per plant? Or is it still OK? Thank you and sorry for my english. ✌️

3 NL Autos from ILGM all started at same time, but plant 2 received no training: did training DELAY or STUNT plants 1 Plant 1 has healthiest foliage but smallest buds. Plant 2 seems farthest along but stalling out. Plants 1 & 3 fattening. Just delayed? Seeing amber trichs here n there, but lots of clears/milky all over. Flush plant 2 for a week or two and harvest but let 1 & 3 go longer? THX!

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?
