I think u didnt apply lst too soon... its about the right time actually, i've always been told to use lst during week3/4, trying to keep the main branch always bended.

Def not to soon. My plants will be 3 weeks old tomorrow and I already started LST on them. Cheers 💨 😜

I'd say about around the right time, I usually do it 14-21d depending. Every couple days, keep stretching her out and retucking/rebending branches and updating your tie downs.

Topping or LST after 1st topping Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?

Early LST defoliation Hi guys, is it ok to defoliate some leafs while doing LST at the early stage of growing to get more light for the buds? Clones, day 10 after transplanting.

PREFLOWER or PARANOID!?!?!?As this is my first grow i just want to get other opinions and be more confident but i believe that this plant is starting to preflower... correct? Plants are at day 23 from seed but seem to be stunted from what i think was high light intensity during the first few days of life.

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First Grow My plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

LST during flowering?Hey all, do you keep adjusting and opening up the plant throughout flowering to improve light and air penetration into the canopy? She's getting further along flowering and I don't want to negatively impact it but the branches were so tight they weren't drying after rain.

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️
