Training method for this leafy boi
This leafy boi has grown bushy. What training methods do you recommend? Should I just tie down to the side? should I defoliate the fan leaves covering new growth?

Can I start with LST?
Do you think I can start with LST? My girl is 35 days old, but has a thin, elongated stem. I'm afraid she won't break. Thank you for your help

Is that LST correct? (senna auto)
My plant is 25 days old today, yesterday I did an LST, today it has adjusted and rearranged upwards again. I pulled the wire a little more, I want you to judge if this is correct or if I can adapt something better? (OBS: It's a Senna AUTO)

When to start with LST
Can anyone advise me on when should I start with LST? What’s the right size? My plants have 6cm and 7cm right now, and I want them on a bushier format since I don’t have a lot of room, can any more experienced grower help me?

LST attempt revamped
So I took the advice and added another tie at her base just so it's not pulling against her roots. I think I did it right. Top leaves are now pointing upward only after 1 hour after first tie...

LST or defoliation on autos
I think I will need to defoliate a bit those bushy ladies, but I am not so confident about that because, from what I've read and since it's my first time growing autos, defoliation or lst is not advisable because it may stress them a looooot or am I wrong?

Improving LST in textil pots ?
Do you have any advice for me for my LST? Because I am in a textile pot and it is not very practical to make hanging points ... I try to make it turn in a "spiral" to maximize the space.

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.

Can i try LST or are they too stumpy?
looking to start LST but my plants don't have much spacing in between nodes height wise, and lots of nodes.. is it too late to try and start or would it be a bad idea due to there not being much room for new branches to then form once tied down? sorry for noob questions!

Any of the gurus of LST, main lining and other grow techiques willing to share an idea how to further improve the plants behavior. 🙂 I intend to further remove branches and leave only one at each of the nodes where there are two, make the canopy wide and airy. +root cut branches
