lolo30started grow question 4 years ago
My white widow auto is now 68 cm - 27 inch. I try to maintain light at 30cm-12 inch but she grows at 20cm-8 inches. what if she grows more and it poses a ploblem with light LED penetration ? Should I do sthing (topping, LST) or it's too late ? And I continue to turn up the light?

She's currently in the stretch. Her growth will slow significantly very soon. I don't recommend topping her right now, because too much stress at this stage will hurt your yield.
My recommendation: keep moving the light up as necessary. Once her stretch ends and growth visibly slows, defoliate the base leaves and bud sites that aren't getting any light. I do not see a better solution.
Side note: that little plant is going to take over your grow room when she stretches, should be very exciting to watch. Get her closer to the light if she needs it, I bet she will be a heavy bloomer for you 😊

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?

Topping techinque: 4 main colasI'm approaching topping for the first time. The aim is to get 4 main colas, without FIM. The intention is to cut at the 3rd node (cut C) in order to develop the branches of nodes 2 and 3 as main ones. Does this make sense? Has anyone already had any experience with this?

whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longerHey everyone,. I need your opinions on whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer. I think I may have trimmed the main stem too much to the side, and I'm a bit worried. The pictures and the video is in my diary if you have a look I'd be glad

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

Advice?Done with LST. I added a little overdrive.. just so anxious. My plants seem in line with pics from other Growers diaries. Any advice appreciated. Sometimes I’m afraid I overdo it with early topping and I did a lot of lst on these. I’m new at this. Thanks for reading! 🌱

Late LST - Week 5.5 - Done correctly?I have decided to begin LST, despite the risks of stressing the plant at this stage.
I figured with it being a hardy strain, it may tolerate the stress and the benefits may outweigh the risks.
Have I done it right?
