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

When to start 12/12
Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top. So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.

Looking for opinions on a try of LST and a thought about taking off big fan leaves from the top
Had a shot at LST training one of my girlfriend plants, just wondering opinion from people if it has been done correctly. Also had a thought to take off two big fan leaves from the top to get more light onto nodes, not quite sure if that would be good idea
Leaves. Too many

Removing "suckers" on autoflowers
I have these smaller growths on the lower part of my plant. They haven't really stretched out at all. I read that these smaller growths can suck available energy for the other buds. Can I cut these or just leave them and forget about them?

Plants growing at different rates
I have 4 different Sativas on the go - 2 of them are really stretching tall, and I'm having to really train them hard to keep them relatively the same height as the other 2. How best to handle plants of the differing heights and grow rates in a 4x4 tent?

Today is day 20 from seed, and i decided to lst my seedlings, even if some friends suggested to wait until the 4th week. What do you guys think? Since autos are so fast at vegging i thought it was better to lst them now.

It looks like my plant is dieing! Plants turning brown after intense watering period
Did I drown my plant? Stress it? I gave a lot of water in a short duration of time, and now 7 days later she is looking terrible! Read my diary on week 17 for more info!

LST - How to Scrog help
Looking for advice on how to use a SCROG auto. Bought one to try LST but confused how it works. Looking at videos people just seem to squash on top during veg. Am I too late/early with it? Does it just grow into it or do I need to use the tie down method TOO? Doesnt look right :/
