LST bending
ZigkGrow
started grow question 5y ago
Is this too much bending? Is it possible to make the base straight and bend just the higher stem now?

Hey friend, Always remember to counteract your bend from opposite side.In that way, your main stem will not fall like that.You can check in my diary how I done my LST.Happy growing... βοΈ

Thats enough of a bend. I'd leave it and just adjust the secondary branches as needed. Happy growing.

When starting LST training, should the TSW 2000 hydro mars lamp be hung higher so that the plant can stretch or hang the lamp lower?

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?
I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant. Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all? First Grow. Started balcony, moved to tent D23. SF-1000 light, 100% at ~ 55cm from canopy.

!! OUTDOOR !! || LST on AUTOs
Never had a satisfying LST when growing Autos outdoor, my idea is that suboptimal conditions of outdoor enviroment lead to slowed veg (compared to indoor) and low stretch. Maybe letting them grow without training in the end leads to bigger yield. What's your idea/experience?

Remove or tie down fan leaves?
Hi guys, what's the better option, removing big ass fan leaves to give bud nodes more exposure to light or tie fan leaves down? I tied a few down but don't know if that's a good idea. Help is greatly appreciated ;)

Can I continue to tie down LST'd stem to horizontal or is there increased risk of breakage?
I tied down seedling plants 24hrs ago and they have straightened out much more quickly than I thought. My plan was to have the tied down stem elongate past the rim of the pot then allow it to grow vertical. Can I continue to straighten the stem π or are they set like Jello? π

Hello! do I LST my auto flowers or do I let them do their thing? please help ( for grow 2 diary 2)
hello! fastbuds recommends to tie down the side branches to increase yield, but for an auto is it not better to just leave it alone? I am lost. Zamnesia gives no recommendations. I'd like to get the most out of both my plants

Enough LST for an autoflower?
I was wondering how much LST and how intense the LST on an auto should be? I heard you shouldn't stress autos too much, that's why I'm extra careful and wanted to ask. (And yes I know it's overwatered, I'm letting it dry out at the moment)
