Ideal time to begin LST ?
TopShelfTreesstarted grow question 4 years ago
Ideal time to begin LST ? Any tips and/or tricks? In the past I have just pinched and pinched until I had 6-8 main colas, but I intend to use 2-3 scrog nets and LST to attempt an even canopy.

Start your ScrOG at 8-12" tall. Flip to bloom once the net is nearly filled. Not recommended for autos. You should only need 1 net, if you use a second, it's only for supporting the buds.

You can start LST as soon as your plant has it's first true leaves.- this usually starts around week three so you're at the perfect timing. Happy growing.

Training autos - predicting peak of vigor on plantsHi Growers,
I've done lst and hst on autos before but not always the same nice results and I wonder what tips you might have or what markers I might look for in the plant to know if it's on point for training.

Is my LST done right?Hi and TIA, following the advice I got from my last question, I decided to do some LST so I bend the main stem... my question is if I did it right? Also should I water my plant after this kind of stress? And lastly I did it just before the lights went out, is that OK?Techniques. LST

LST - Am I going to hard? -/- Harvest - What to expect?Am I going to hard with the LST? Is it okay do make small adjustments every day or two?
What do you think about the progress so far?
I'm really wondering what harvest I can expect. Is it realistic to expect something between 20-40g per plant?
Thanks everyone for taking the time3 years ago

LST adviseJust 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?Week 3

She will grow like a bush, and thats nice but wont this affect her training manageability for the next weeks? If the folia remains this dense, she might not appreciate bondageWeek 3
