Lst or not?!
CheckThoseTrichsanswered grow question 5y ago
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!

To LST or not to LST … that is the questionShould I LST?? I’m growing ILGM OG Kush auto flower. I know I probably should, but part of me wants to just let her rip and see what happens all natural. However I’m in a small tent (18x18x56) and the website says the plants usual height is about 40 inches. What would you do?Week 2

This is my first experience growing indoors and also growing autos. Do you guys think the Northern Lights will survive ? It will recover in some way (I don't care about lower shields) ? Or should I just end it and focus on the other two plants ?
BTW, this community is amazingWeek 3

LST during flowering?Hey all, do you keep adjusting and opening up the plant throughout flowering to improve light and air penetration into the canopy? She's getting further along flowering and I don't want to negatively impact it but the branches were so tight they weren't drying after rain.5y ago
