When to start LST
Gr8tfulDadstarted grow question 4 years ago
This is my first time growing with seriousness involved. Not just chuckingvrandom seeds in the ground. Most of my plants ate about 6 inches since they sprouted on november 27th. Should I start LST on them at this height? The pic on the right is after I tried it off for its 6h🌚

As a rule of thumb I wait untill the plant is out of it's seedling stage. This is usually indicated by the first five tipped leaf. When ya see that bend it like Beckham! 🤘😤

Its best to wait until the plant has 4-5 sets of true leaves before beginning LST. Happy growing.

Snapped a branch. How worried should I be?Snapped the main stem during LST, right below the main cola on SLH(just starting flower). Braced it with ducktape and propped it with some bamboo. At this point, everything else looks fine, so I'm just pretending it's not there. How worried should I be? Anything else I should do?

Beginner worried she started LST on auto too soon.Question about LST autos (see photos). I read LST should start early with autos, but I am worried I might be starting too soon. I started with plant 3, but it just flopped right over (I didn't have to pull it), so I stopped. Is this ok, or should I wait? The others?

How far into flower is it okay to bend (LST)? Am I there yet?I see a couple little flower hairs coming in on the cheese plant. I've read that you are not supposed to train auto-flowers very far into flower, but I was hoping to get one or more bends in over the next week. Anybody have any thoughts?

Spiral LST vs Topdressing/mulchSpiral LST vs topdressing/mulch.. I planned on training like shown in picture, just not sure how this will work out with 1" of mulch and a monthly topdressing with all the pegs/wires, might get tricky. Thought about bending all sec branches to the outside vs 1out 1in?? Cheers
