LST, SOG or Scrog
Anetxu420started grow question 4 years ago
Hi guys!
These babies seem ready to start training and I am new to that but I want to try it. Thinking on toping them 4 times and tie them to do the horizontal scrog. I read that some think it works well with autos, some think you should just let them grow or LST Advice?

Definitely don't top at this point your about to start producing buds very soon. LST will get you what you want, tie down slowly to prevent snapping branches and your good to go on an auto.

The thing when TOPing autos is that the window of opportunity is very narrow. it must be done removing the 5th or 6th node, why? because once the 5th pair of leaves fully opens, then flowering will begin and once that happens you cannot TOP. Also keep in mind that every time you TOP you will increase the time the plant take to finish by 1 week. I would either LST or TOP once and then LST.

If you are going to scrog, I wouldnt bother topping especially with autos. I recommend just scrogging and removing all foliage that stays beneath the net once it goes into bloom. Minimal stress, maximum yield.

Hey Growmie,
With autos, it can be tricky because they are so sensitive to everything. I wouldn't top them seems to result in less dense buds, but the scrog and LST would be perfect. Judging from the size of the plants in the photos now would be a great time to start LST. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

Now 12-12 and scrog net?the time has come to switch to flowering, from the beginning of next week (maybe in 10 days maximum) I will set 12-12. I thought that towards the 50th day I could free it from the bindings and move it away from the light gradually and then put a scrog net, okay as a procedure?

Continue tie-down or start using a scrog netSince it seems like I can do LST for quite a while longer, and I do technically have a scrog net lying around;Would you guys continue with the tie-down method, or position a scrog net 5-10 cm over the current canopy and guide the plant through the net? Just don't wanna over do it3 years ago

Do side shoots come back if I remove them?If I remove a side shoot coming out of a stem, is there a chance another may grow out of that spot later? I'm afraid I removed too many side shoots during my scrogging but feel like more will grow back in a week lol. It grows so fast in hydro.Week 6

Which branches to cut?I am new to all indoor. Will these lower sites make it to the netting? Do most who use this technique just Veg until netting is even, switch to flower, defoliate to netting then let them stretch? Or do you LST the top portion until the lowermost branches reach the netting? 😳

Need SCROG advice - 2'x2' space 1 plantRunning a 1 plant SCROG. I have about 10-12 nice tops and it's been 5 weeks in veg. I haven't topped anything yet, just LST'd all these tops so they're at the same height. Should I top now to increase the colas? Or should I go ahead and flip? Or let it fill up more? Thanks!

Should I Scrog? Confused!My garden seems healthy despite me. Guys I'm confused as to what I should do. Plans are to ScrOG at 18" (which I have never done) with a screen that is 3' x 4'. This screen would cover the entire container area plus about 4" over around the edges. Should ScrOG or just let grow?
