answered grow question 6y ago
if you did it in a "S" the top portion of the s would block light from the rest. The point of LST is to open the branch and nodes open to the light. Look up stunted art on insta she makes some cool shapes with LST/HST Hope this helps

LST training
When do you think the best time to start LST training on your auto flower plants, earlier or later to avoid disturbing the root crown?

Was this LST the correct move?
I felt like this girl was getting a bit too bushy and dense so i spread her out a little bit, I was wondering if maybe i was going a little too hard considering she probably wont stretch much more and is mostly focused on flowering.

I want YOUR opinions on MY training <3 :)
Hey people, this is not an important question, I just want to hear everyones opinion on the training I did today (supercropping, LST and defoliation). Does it look good in your eyes, was it too much, not enough or maybe too early / too late? And what should I do next? Thanks :)))

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 time

Did I wait too long to top?
I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?

When to stop LST
My question is when do I stop tying my girls down and just let them grow? You can see from my photos that I've got quite a good spread now, should I just let them do their thing or carry on tying? Thanks in advance

Crecimiento estancado tras LST
Las Orion F1 no están reaccionando bien al LST. El crecimiento está estancado. ¿Tal vez he empezado demasiado pronto? ¿La strain no lo tolera bien? ¿Debería deshacerlo? Las otras cepas están llevando muy bien el LST...

How to save a broken branch?
I shook the pot's stand, and 1 wire dropped to the ground and broke a branch. It looks nice and if prop up it - can't even see the breakpoint. What should I do to increase the chances that the branch will grow back? The Red line marks where it was broken (the 2nd layer).

Topping/LST in same week or one week apart?
Regarding manifolding/mainlining: Is there any difference or what would be preferred between: Topping as early as possible in week1 and LST new growtips in week2 vs letting stuff grow out for 2 weeks and Top and LST new growtips at the same time? Cheers 👍
