Sure, you can start now. - Have a plan on how you want to do it, and how you want the end result tho.

Beginner worried she started LST on auto too soon.
Question about LST autos (see photos). I read LST should start early with autos, but I am worried I might be starting too soon. I started with plant 3, but it just flopped right over (I didn't have to pull it), so I stopped. Is this ok, or should I wait? The others?

Is it time for LST?
Do you think I should start LST for ALH girls or wait a while? Friends who do the same Grow usually continue by doing LST on the 3rd and 5th weeks. I would be glad if you examine the photos below and enlighten me on this subject.

Topping for scrog
I'm putting 3 plants into scrog net. Would it be best to keep these topped to produce 4 mains so I can spread them evenly sideways as opposed to the way I normally top for 8 mains? In a 4×4 tent.

Is this LST I made okay for now?
My seedling is 11 days old, with an iron U-shaped stake I bent the plant as you can see in the photo, did I do well? (it's the first time I do LST) if everything is ok, now how should I proceed?

Crecimiento estancado tras LST
Las Orion F1 no están reaccionando bien al LST. El crecimiento está estancado. ¿Tal vez he empezado demasiado pronto? ¿La strain no lo tolera bien? ¿Debería deshacerlo? Las otras cepas están llevando muy bien el LST...

Too much LST action?
Is this a very stressed bend? I lost a tiny branch on that side that I had to snip, then I saw this UGH. I can't wait until this shit is second nature!

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!

Hi. I just randomly tied my plants down and it came to this. Can it be useful and is it ok in some way or did I just wasted my time and done something detrimental for them? It seems to me that they are doing ok, and the lower sites are getting better light. I also tilted the LED

Why do my autos take longer than everyone else with same strain
If you live in a different part of the states or heavy LST make your autos take longer to grow. I see all these diaries that at 7-8 week there’s is not only way smaller ( I only have the diaries going now) and they are finished way sooner than when I have grown them. Thank you

LST Gorilla Glue Auto Fastbuds, sieht das so gut aus? Und sollte ich den Hauptrieb weiterhin runterbinden weil sich die blätter immer über die seitentriebe stellen, oder soll ich den Hauptrieb erstmal hochwachsen lassen?
