What Should I Do?
I'm planning on swazzing this next week and was wondering if maybe I should bend those long ass shoots to fall on my ring when I do? In my head it would even the canopy and get more exposure in the same. Am I wrong? Should I do it or just swazz and go? Any input would be greatly!

LST - am I doing it right?
I figured I could try training my plant by LST and since I am very new to this and generally don't want to kill my ladies could you please comment on the way I have done it? Plants held with plastic coated paper clips, because I am lazy but creative :) Also is it safe?

Just did my first LST. Any thoughts?
Hello! This is my first time doing LST. This auto flower is about 3.5 weeks old, and I just tied it down in two spots. Do you think this is a good start to Listing, or is it too much bending? Too little? Thanks to all who take the time to answer! 🌿🍅

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?

LST stressed plant, will it recover?
It seems she did not take the LST very well and is growing very slowly. Is this a lost cause or can she still recover and grow relatively big? Day 20

Days between LST for mainline/manifold training
For mainlining, after the first cut, do I need to move the soft garden ties out as the new growth tips grow? The green crack is really shooting out in recovery and I want to keep it in it's manifold shape as it does. How many days between LST sessions essentially?

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?

Does LST increase yields in autoflowers?
Those advocating LST for autoflowers promise increased yields. Is there evidence to support this? Other than flattening the canopy, which helps in limited spaces, is there a scientific reason why training increases yield?
