Hi there,Here’s my advice for you to perform LST.First, Cover your top soil until your cotyledon is embedded in soil.Start bending your main stem in one direction,as parallel as possible to the ground.Be careful not to break the stem. Counteract that bend from opposite side.So that your main stem can’t fall off easily and accidentally.Then continue on doing that as the main stem growing taller.Do the same to the other branches and spread the branches to side way.Don’t worry if the leaves touch the soil.It’s normal.Happy growing... ✌️

Dapprima dovresti fare dei buchi sul vaso per potere avere dei siti di ancoraggio per la pianta. Il concetto base comunque è quello di piegare la pianta verso il basso per potere avere una canopia bassa e uniforme. Se vai a vedere il mio diario puoi farti un' idea. Buona Fortuna :)

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.

LST Evaluation Just did LST for the first time ever on my autoflower by day 16, curious to hear if I have performed it properly. Is it the main stalk bent enough? Have I started too late?

ScrOG tucking: expose lower smaller bud sites by tucking/compacting main cola branches?For a better yield, should I aggressively (but gently) bend main leading branches and tuck all shading fans to expose young 'undergrowth' branches (circled) and bud sites to light, or, inversely, untuck fans and straighten leading branches to give more light energy to them?

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

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.

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First Grow My plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

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)
