Beginner worried she started LST on auto too soon.

Question about LST autos (see photos). I read LST should start early with autos, but I am worried I might be starting too soon. I started with plant 3, but it just flopped right over (I didn't have to pull it), so I stopped. Is this ok, or should I wait? The others?

I think you may have started a little early. I wait until there are about 3+ nodes usually when she sprouts her first true leaves. I’d take a little pressure off and start maybe a week or so later. You really want her roots to anchor down a bit more! I’d also support the base of the stem before you start pulling the top down as well! I hope this helps!

I started LST on my white widow autos as soon as there were a couple of nodes. Obviously, you have to be gentle early on, but I didn’t have any issues starting early. The one plant that I really went to town on with LST had about 10 big colas.

Hey Doing lst at this stage is completely fine and will likely result in a well trained plant. The only thing to worry about is pulling the roots too hard or out when you tie. Sometimes its helpful to use an anchor tie to the stem going the other way from the leaves. That way the stem and roots are technically staying in place by pulling the stem one way and leaves and branches in another. Keep up the good work and just watch for any slowed growth etc to let you know how gentle you were or need to be in the future. ✌️ Happy growing

Have you considered main-lining her? She looks to be at the perfect place for this type of training. I do not have any experience but am planning to use it on my next run! Happy growing 🙏🏻
