HST at week 2.5 in flower?
Snooziecheesecakestarted grow question 3 years ago
I’m roughly in between weeks 2-3 of flowering and was wondering if I can still high stress train at this point? Some of the tallest branches are within 6 inches of the light and I expect them to gain a few more inches even. Light is also at max height.

Hey,
Personally, I wouldnt stress the plant that much at this stage. Maybe try some stem pinching. I believe the stress would significantly affect bud production.
Hope this helps,

Hi!
I think it's better to supercrop the tallest branches than let them suffer from the lights being too close for the rest of the grow. If your plant is healthy otherwise, it shouldn't even notice it so you can supercrop at any given time IMO. I did it to many of my branches whenever they get too close to the light too

Ideally you would have wanted to start 1-2 weeks ago but I think the plants closing in on the light trumps any issue you might have. I personally would get a trellis net and start hooking those tall branches under the trellis to even out the canopy and keep it away from the light. From there just keep pruning her a bit to ensure light is reaching all buds. Hope this helps!

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons.
Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, resultsSetup. Outdoor

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

Can a plant be too thick and bushyDoes anybody think these ladies are too thick and bushy. I've done quite a bit a HST to her. I just kept bending her over till the bucket was full. My aim is to improve yield and have more big colas. And this is just two separate girls btw

Remove lowest autoflower shoots? Yes or no?Hi there!! I'm quite inexperienced when it comes to autoflowers..
What would you say.. when the stretch is done, should I prune (remove the lowest 2 shoots & secondary shoots)?
Normally I would do that to a photoperiod, but this one grows really quick. Thank you!! 😊

Forced supercrop due to lack of waterHello mates, one of my plants bent its branches due to lack of water (I wasn't at home for a few days), and three of them has broken, even partially RIPPED. I put a tape so it can recover from the damage. Should I worry about this? She looks fine after a day (straighten up).

Snapped (Superscropped) autoglowerWell, my idiot ass accidentally cropped (when you not break but flatten) the main stem during flower. The top of the stem.
I did it before to photoperiods, but i wonder, will it make a lot of stress? If so girl could be a hermo? If so, could it affect other girls later?

Brownish stem color after supercroppingIs it normal that the stem turns brownish at the bending site, on all four supercropped plants? It must be, since all flowers and leaves are looking perfectly healthy on the bent apexes, but still I wonder whether it may become weak spots later. Thanks!

LSTGood 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!

Lollipopping autos? I topped these autos to see how they would do. So far so well on all but one. But has anyone lollipopped the lower bud sites off or even lower growth that won't mature? I'm thinking about it but looking to see if anyone has any experience

Novato en Super CroppingHe hecho Super Cropping por primera vez (newbie)
He seguido el tutorial de Royal Queen Seeds y he doblado el tallo con los dedos suavemente hasta que el tallo ha quedado a 90 º , pero NO he oido el "clack"
¿Lo he hecho correctamente? ¿Debo hacerlo de otra forma?
Gracias!

HST tipsHi, my grow brothers and sisters!
I'm planning to do HST training to largest one of my plants, cos it is (to my joy) - too big. Other babies for, like, two times smaller now. I'll do this for the first time and I'm really nervous about it.
Any tips for me to do it right enoughWeek 4
