When is the right time to remove LST clips?
Hi Growers, I’m using LST clips for the first time. I probably started a bit late but better late than never. Now I’m wondering, when is the right time to remove them? I assume it’s when the stem starts getting too thick for the clip, but I’d love to hear your advice!

!! OUTDOOR !! || LST on AUTOs
Never had a satisfying LST when growing Autos outdoor, my idea is that suboptimal conditions of outdoor enviroment lead to slowed veg (compared to indoor) and low stretch. Maybe letting them grow without training in the end leads to bigger yield. What's your idea/experience?

Node distance and LST
Wondering if I should do something to increase node distance. I see so many journals of people doing LST and their plants seem to be stretched so much more and it seems much more clear where and what to train. Is this ok? Good? Terrible?

LST timing
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!!’

Remove lower branches on this grow?
Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.

How far into flower is it okay to bend (LST)? Am I there yet?
I see a couple little flower hairs coming in on the cheese plant. I've read that you are not supposed to train auto-flowers very far into flower, but I was hoping to get one or more bends in over the next week. Anybody have any thoughts?

LST and defoliation
I am trying lst on 2 plants (not in a diary). In week 2, I pinned the main stem down. In week 3 did it again so the main stem is laying flat. Lots of foliage. Should I be removing any leaves yet? And if so which ones?
