A little to early. You need a stem to be able to start bending her. Go easy though. Dont want to stress an auto to much. Cheers friend

Spiral LST vs Topdressing/mulch
Spiral LST vs topdressing/mulch.. I planned on training like shown in picture, just not sure how this will work out with 1" of mulch and a monthly topdressing with all the pegs/wires, might get tricky. Thought about bending all sec branches to the outside vs 1out 1in?? Cheers

LST - Am I going to hard? -/- Harvest - What to expect?
Am I going to hard with the LST? Is it okay do make small adjustments every day or two? What do you think about the progress so far? I'm really wondering what harvest I can expect. Is it realistic to expect something between 20-40g per plant? Thanks everyone for taking the time

First time LST
What 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! 😊😊

Snapped a branch. How worried should I be?
Snapped the main stem during LST, right below the main cola on SLH(just starting flower). Braced it with ducktape and propped it with some bamboo. At this point, everything else looks fine, so I'm just pretending it's not there. How worried should I be? Anything else I should do?

Hi. I just randomly tied my plants down and it came to this. Can it be useful and is it ok in some way or did I just wasted my time and done something detrimental for them? It seems to me that they are doing ok, and the lower sites are getting better light. I also tilted the LED
