I had a little accident while doing LST and broke the main branch near the top. It didn't completely break, but there's a small cut. What can I do to fix this?

Put the branch in place as it should be and then tape it with some paper tape (a bit loosen, don't choke it). Alternatively, you can take a metal wire and wrap it gently around the broken branch to support it. In few days it should be healed. Keep an eye on the "medication" since you don't want to let it become too tight. When it's completely healed you can remove the tape/wire.
I broke a branch (not completely) when my auto was already flowering and in 2 days it was brand new again :) they really are amazing plants

Hello friend,
This happens. I'm sure we've all been there. If it's only partially snapped then i would tape it up and try to let it heal and support it with a kabob stick or something.
Otherwise if its a photoperiod plant then you can always cut it off and just consider it an accidental topping.π
Mainly autoflowers i would definitely encourage tapping up and saving the branch because they really can't afford to lose much.

When to stop LST? (Auto)When should i stop horizontal LST and let her main branches to vertically? i'd say she's well into preflower with pistils popping up everywhere and the smell getting noticable. LST hasn't gone this well in my previous grows so i'm not sure where to end it.

What do I do with my LST ties in flower?I'm planning to switch to flower soon and I have been using LST on my plants. I know LST should continue for the first two weeks of flower, but what happens after that? Should the ties stay on, or can they come off? I trained the individual branches rather than the whole stem.

Can I continue to tie down LST'd stem to horizontal or is there increased risk of breakage?I tied down seedling plants 24hrs ago and they have straightened out much more quickly than I thought. My plan was to have the tied down stem elongate past the rim of the pot then allow it to grow vertical. Can I continue to straighten the stem π or are they set like Jello? π

Growing a plant across a tent using LST rather than into a bushIβm growing two auto flowers in a 2x2 tent. Because of the small size of the grow space my idea was to put a pot in each corner of the tent and then try and train them to grow across the tent rather then just into a bush if you follow me. Is this even possible with regular LST?Techniques. LST
