Hey man, you can start with lst as soon as it has a stem, but most people usually start training it between weeks 2-4.. Happy growing!!

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

Is it possible to use the lst method for an autoflowering plant, every time I see that you can bend and fix a branch under the lamp? I'm worried that it will be extra stressful for it, but I also don't want it to be too tall. When is it advisable to stop bending?

When should I LST and add Nutrients?
Wanted to low stress train this plant if I am able too.I am not really sure when to start, does the plant look old enough to begin introducing this technique? Should I wait another week? Also when should I start feeding the plant nutrients? It’s still growing pretty fast.

Flower stretch...top or tuck the super strechers?
Should i tuck all the tops that popped up over night? As you see my trellis is right about even with tops in my most recent pic, i swear these bitches grew 4..5 inches over night . I dont want it to get to close to light ,but also was unsure with topping a beautiful looking top ?

LST possible?
Is it possible or even beneficial to do some lst on them? The internode space is very tight and the stems are not flexible, plus they started preflower. They are 4 week old autoflowers and I feel like the lower leaves don't get enough light.

LST Autoflowers
So, I am on my last day of week 5 with these auto’s. They are still aggressively growing upwards. Was wondering if now would be too late to start some LST with them? Pros and cons? Thanks guys!

Grow help and advice
Hey guys little help. Need an opinion on how my plants are looking. I’ve successfully LST the one but left the other. Both are topped under 18/6 light. Watering .75 L with bio buzz grow and add bloom and top max every other watering. Also does this look like flowering ? THANKS

Good day! I have a question for experienced growers who've used LST. The stem usually branches out to 2 branches, one of which is just one big leaf and the other branch has nodes & other branches. Do you put the branch with the big leaf below the rest, above or prune it? Thx!
