Today is day 20 from seed, and i decided to lst my seedlings, even if some friends suggested to wait until the 4th week. What do you guys think? Since autos are so fast at vegging i thought it was better to lst them now.

En la semana 3 podría comenzarse a realizar la técnica LST, no obstante, con cuidado ya que los tallos aún están muy débiles, por eso se recomienda hacer algo más tarde. La técnica LST a parte de permitirte orientar la planta para una mejor distribución de la luz sobre los cogollos, también provoca una redistribución de las auxinas (hormonas de crecimiento) en el tallo apical de tu planta, de manera que en las zonas con mayor oscuridad se dará una mayor producción de auxinas, ayudando en el crecimiento de estos tallos. (esto sucede gracias al fenómeno de fototropismo).

I ONLY grow auto's, start lst as soon as the inner branches get to about 6cm/9cm and you will be fine, train them out horizontally and adjust the wire every 2/3 days to make em come out even further as they start growing upwards at the place where the wire will be. Keep doing the main stem lst aswell and if u wanna get funky and u got some lateral space, as soon as she gets the shape to one side, start twisting the stem slowly over the course of a week or two, you wanna make sure u don't break it, if you train into one side first, lets say left side of the pot, then you train her into the front side, then into the right side, over this period you will start to notice a sort of spiral effect in the veins of the main stem, this i belive increases bud size as plants have shown me and does not decrease overall size. Ez pz Stay lit growmie.

Hey, the only issue that can sometimes come up and especially with autos, if you LST too early you can stress them out too much and they will stop growing completely. So be very careful doing it that soon. Happy growing
