How far into flower is it okay to bend (LST)? Am I there yet?

corianderstarted grow question 5y ago

I see a couple little flower hairs coming in on the cheese plant. I've read that you are not supposed to train auto-flowers very far into flower, but I was hoping to get one or more bends in over the next week. Anybody have any thoughts?

you can train the plant(s) anytime after the 3rd week, these are autos so be careful as some autos do not like to be messed with, hope that helps

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?

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic here Is it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

LST 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!

When stop LST?First time grower here. Have been doing LST, and it seems to work well. I've just spotted pistols, so she is starting to flower now. So my question is, should I stop LST? Should I remove the (padded) wires? Or, when do I stop? Or should I keep LST until I harvest the flowers?
