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

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?

If you use LST on autoflowers, is there any chance for them to finish later? I had an experience where I did LST on auto and it took more than 15 weeks to finish her cycle. She stressed out a bit, though. And how is it possible that some people achieve 8 weeks veg with autos?

Did I do this right?
I did some LST and I have no idea if I did it right or not. Lol the last picture is a before. I had just tied the top down that time. This time I moved the fan leaves so the lower bits can get more light and I'm not sure if that was the correct thing to do. White widow auto.

Top her off THEN LST?
Growing a tangerine dream auto she’s a few weeks old and growing nicely. I hear this one can get large, even tho it’s an auto. So I was thinking to top the plant AND then start LST to keep her from getting too big. Does this make sense? Or LST first then top? Thanks!

Training Plants to early ?
I have 1 plant that towers above the others, should I already tie it down with LST? Should I bend the whole plant or the shoots? or is that too early for the plant on DAY 14?

Plants growing at different rates
I have 4 different Sativas on the go - 2 of them are really stretching tall, and I'm having to really train them hard to keep them relatively the same height as the other 2. How best to handle plants of the differing heights and grow rates in a 4x4 tent?

LST after Topping
When would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!
