potfromgreece
started grow question 5y ago
Is that LST training could be productive? Or this is harmful for the plant?

It's fine. You'll probably just end up removing the leaves on the soil eventually, but everything else looks good.

I’m first time grower and would like some help on choosing my first seeds. I’m doing an indoor grow, LED lights, Soil Medium, prefer high yielding and high thc, feminised as well. I’m planning on doing LST and using a SCROG to allow a higher yield. Thank you :)

Auto's and Training????
Being that the life cycle of these Auto's are so quick. Should the topping, cutting, training methods be used? Should I just let em go with some LST manipulation? First Time Grower here...THANKS for your input!!!

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!
The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

I used the LST technique three days ago. Do you think that I did this job correctly and what is the next move to continue training? The plants are now at the beginning of week 4. Do you think they are growing enough or are they behind? thanks

DWCbadassquestionmark
My question is concerning the use of LST, and it's correlation to longer than usual harvest times. It seems all the growers I follow whom train/defoliate their plants consistently harvest as much as 6 weeks later than what the breeder calls for. Any thoughts?

LST advise
Just a quick question about my LST: By checking my last 3 photo uploads do you guys it’s working good? I’m not sure since it’s the first time growing and using LST. I’m quite confused with so many leafs popping up and I’m not sure what’s the next step. Just wait?
