Looks good to me. I got monster colas from the bottom branches doing a very similar bending technique with my Mexican Airlines (just cut her down this morning, I’ll be posting the harvest report and pics after she dries)
Stickanswered grow question 7 years ago
In my opinion it's too soon ! Your plant is not strong enough to handle this kind of bending, it will take several days to "recover" and develop new stems. I've experienced this with a previous grow, I tried to LST an autoflowering strain with the same method at the same time (week3), the result was a disaster : small plant with small bushy branches, it developed some
rottenness and the final weight was disappointing. You should wait for week 4 or even week 5 to start this type of bending/LST. Moreover, you put the string at the wrong position : it should be between two nodes, not under the first node. I'll be around, good luck with this baby!

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!a year ago

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Some guidance for ScrOG please@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm)
When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ?
Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones.

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now
