Are my plants too little for LST?
PureMellostarted grow question 4 years ago
When should I start LST my plants? They are coming up on being there weeks old and I was thinking I'd start soon, but I think they might be too small and I'd hate to hurt them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated? And thank you!

As you are growing Photoperiods, you have all the Time you want to.
And yes wait another Week
But Girls look good and it will be an easy Game to tame them, They show agood Internodial Distance, and growing vigor
You may Top them now and start Lst next Week
Cheers and happy LST

A Good rule of thumb is 6 sets of true leaves (count from 1st set of serrated), all healthy means you should have a decent root structure...nub them down then to the 3 or 4th node and they should rebound pretty fast. Give 3-5mm over the node to help stopping the main stem splitting when doing LST.
Look like you only have your 4th set starting...give it a week or so and you'll find the plant is much better to handle the stress with less of a rebound period.
Hope this helps in some way.

I like to wait until there are at least 4 nodes before I start lst. Seems like you are almost there, maybe another 5-7 days. When you do start lst, make sure you anchor the stem so you don't put strain on the root system when you are bending the main stem. Happy growing.

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longerHey everyone,. I need your opinions on whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer. I think I may have trimmed the main stem too much to the side, and I'm a bit worried. The pictures and the video is in my diary if you have a look I'd be glad

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Too many buds because of LST? A yield full of popcorn buds??Should I cut off more buds to get a higher yield? I am afraid, that she will develope too many popcorn buds. Or is she looking allright and I can get a good yield without stressing her any more?
(She is in her third flowering week)
