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... ✌️

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

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.

Comment un bon lst et une bonne défoliation ?
Bonjour, mes plantes sont très touffus, j'aimerai réaliser un meilleurs lst et une défoliation afin de permettre à chaque feuilles d'avoir de la lumière. Avez-vous des conseils sur un bon lst et une bonne défoliation ? Je ne sais pas quoi couper ou comment écarté les tiges. Merci

will she became too comfy to get training?
Im not planning to make lamp-plant dist. bigger, also dont want to gave up on the 24 per day light feed. She will grow like a bush, and thats nice but wont this affect her training manageability for the next weeks? If the folia remains this dense, she might not appreciate bondage

LST and ScrOG
Hi, I'm a beginner grower, I only used LST once in my past diary and didn't master it all the way. I'm growing in hydro and the container I'm growing in makes LST a little difficult for me. My plant is auto .Can I start with LST and then switch to ScrOG for easier manipulation?

Topping and LST autoflower
I have a 2.5 week old seedling that is only ~3 inches tall, but I just topped/fimmed the 5th node. I plan on starting LST, how long should I wait before tying them down? She is currently in a 3 gallon.

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?
I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?

Won't cut yet or should I?
Am I doing this right? The top arrow is the way I'm bending her, or do I bend her back, bottom arrow? I already stressed her out enough. I defoliated to get rid of shade, bent more. Tied down the twigs. Comments needed lol 👊
