Heya, Honestly personal preference grower to grower. Some would LST now while some others will wait longer. Since my grow space is limited I personally tend to start LST at the stage you're at. Cheers and good luck!

Accidentally bent/squished the stem on Pheno #3, is it possible it can bounce back?
I was LST'ing the Purple Haze Pheno #3, I accidentally got a bend in the stem and it could have snapped or partially torn, I attached some photos hope these help. It was by accident, I have nerve damage and arthritis so I can't keep my hands still that much especially standing.

American Cookies 1st grow - Nutrient Deficiency fixed? What about my LST with budclips?
What’s up? Updates on my previously unfed American Cookies: Looking better IMO, what do you think? Is the lack of nutrient fixed? I also did an LST with budclips on it to help utilize the space a little bit better, did I do it right?

Topping and LST
(Not autos) I've topped before, but was wondering can you achieve the same yield just LSTing without topping, or is it best to do both? I know there's lots of info online but i feel more reassured listening to you guys lol, cheers

Hi, for the first time in my life I did an LST and it cracked a little, will it survive? It hurts more than the plant, I'm so sorry 😔

1st go at scrog. Any particular way to LST you guys can recommend?
Hi folks. First time going for scrog, ladies on day 18 with interesting node spacing. When do you guys reckon i should start with lst in preparation for them approaching the net? Also, where is the best starting point for that, so i just bend the main stem sideways and tie it?

How can I make this better?
How do my ladies look? They are on day 1 of week 6. I would like these plants to fill my 4x4 tent. My question is how much longer before you would flip? Also what are your options on LST, Super cropping, Lollipoping or any other ideas on how to improve quality and quantity.

ScrOG training during flower
With ScrOG, during flower, how careful do I need to be about the pre-flowering hairs and early bud sites when I’m tucking branches? I’m trying to gauge how aggressively to keep scrogging vs just letting them go.

Won't cut yet or should I?
Am I doing this right? The top arrow is the way I'm bending her, or do I bend her back, bottom arrow? I already stressed her out enough. I defoliated to get rid of shade, bent more. Tied down the twigs. Comments needed lol 👊
