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 during flower
Is it okay to still perform LST during flowering? I've Been doing some very minor defoliation on tiny bud sites down low that aren't getting any light. I want to tie down some more branches but I also don't want to stress it too much at this stage. Just one week into flowing.

Is that LST correct? (senna auto)
My plant is 25 days old today, yesterday I did an LST, today it has adjusted and rearranged upwards again. I pulled the wire a little more, I want you to judge if this is correct or if I can adapt something better? (OBS: It's a Senna AUTO)

How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?
Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

What are my chances of a cutting that was only meant to be stretched with LST, string surviving without any root products. Its placed directly into a grow cube, with water and then the mini greenhouse. I have a perfect LED grow light gently willing it on. WILL IT SURVIVE???

So I used LST and had the top tied down pretty far. while messing with the plants I accidentally hit it to hard breaking the main stem about 1/3 the way up from bottom. Instantly taped her back but curious if I should keep it off or what. It was and entire break, 2 pieces.

LST on rigid main stem
I think I should have started with LST sooner. The main stem is rather rigid now. Unfortunately, I was away during Week 3. Would you recommend gradually pulling it sideways or better to leave it alone at this stage?

Nutrient comparison experiment; to LST or not to LST
Should I do any Low-Stress Training, which I normally do, since it throws another variable in the experiment? These plants are all different sizes and if I LST I will definitely increase the yield but I feel like that interrupts the scientific process. Shoot me some thoughts.
