LST timing

nyalexasstarted grow question 5y ago

I just topped my plant today, repotted and fertilized. How do I know when It’s time to start LST? Obviously I wanna give her like 5 days to recover and get used to her new pot, but I really want to maximize this yield. Thanks!!’

MacLimboanswered grow question 5y ago

As soon as you can see she's starting nice, healthy growth after re-potting you can start your LST. I started all my LST quite early, just to try, on all my strains. On one of them, NYC CBD Auto ( Pyramid Seeds, no diary ) the stems are really sturdy. Sort of: break first, crack later. I found out the hard way. My tip which I learned here is: wiggle the stem or branch a little between your fingers carefully. To soften it up, before trying LST. That what is soft can't break or snap.

Most LST begins between 8-12". If you have a long time to veg you could wait longer.

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?

General feedback Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, to me the plant looks healthy, however it is a bit small considering it’s age, right? I’m thinking it may be because of the cheap ‘300W’ light I was using at the beginning of the grow. What do you guys think? (Video end of week 6)

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

LST, defoliation and topping advice..Plz look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going ok so far but think I need to wait a bit before topping? Anyone got a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower am I rushing things? More Defoliation?

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?

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!

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.
