As soon as they break their seedling stage which is indicated by its first five tipped leaf your free to bend away. 🤘😤

The easiest would be in the middle/end of 3rd week and 4th week, but it can be on the end of the 2nd or beginning of 3rd, or maybe even earlier if you´re bold enough, Peace

Plz look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going ok so far but think I need to wait a bit before topping? Anyone got a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower am I rushing things? More Defoliation?

autos growing too tall?
First time grower, 5 plants (autos) just over 5 weeks from germination in greenhouse (50-60cm in height), wondering if they are growing too tall and if it is too late to either top or carry out some low stress training at this stage? Any other advice welcome. Thank you all

LST different directions
Since she is growing taller can i train her to go the opposite direction using LST? She is strong but is definitely angled to the one side due to LST training(see pics ). Can I also do it yo other branches if so which ones?

Whats up with the side branches? Shouldn't they be bigger and more developed? And btw, how does the LST look? Am I doing it right?

Well FML, pop goes the main stem.
Trying to bend a little bit more, then that dreaded sound, "pop". Like snapping a fresh carrot it is the sound of heart break. The tie had likely weakened that part of the stem, shouldn't be so aggressive. Any suggestions on how to nurse this break and mend my broken heart?

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.
