She should be ready in another 10 days or so. You want about 4-5 sets of true leaves before starting LST. Happy growing.

Best to start LST young when stems are flexible-- start when she grows 5-6 total nodes

Flower Stretch and Mainlining
Flower Stretch Question When I flip to flower, she will stretch and about double in size. Does this include all the bare growth I have cleared off during toppings? ie, if the stalk at the bottom is 12" from the bottom to the start of the last topping, does that 12" count in?

To LST or not to LST ( from the windowsill)
I'm thinking of doing LST on the plants but not sure if it's a good idea because they already bending like crazy trying to get the little sun there is lately standing on the windowsill. Any advice would be appreciated! 👽

PREFLOWER or PARANOID!?!?!?
As this is my first grow i just want to get other opinions and be more confident but i believe that this plant is starting to preflower... correct? Plants are at day 23 from seed but seem to be stunted from what i think was high light intensity during the first few days of life.

Crecimiento estancado tras LST
Las Orion F1 no están reaccionando bien al LST. El crecimiento está estancado. ¿Tal vez he empezado demasiado pronto? ¿La strain no lo tolera bien? ¿Debería deshacerlo? Las otras cepas están llevando muy bien el LST...

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?

HST or LST for short plants?
Should a plant with very small internodal distance get topped or is LST + scrog probably enough to open her up?

Have I LST'd right?
I have tried LSTing and tied down the stem to the pot. I also have a scrog net to help with pushing some of the leaves down and I have tucked them. Does this look right? I feel like I need to also remove some leaves to help but don't want to damage it as its an auto. thanks

ScroG Autoflower
Would the ScroG method even be worth it for fast Autoflowers like Dark Devil Auto from sweet seeds for example? Or would LST be enough without it making much of a difference?

If you use LST on autoflowers, is there any chance for them to finish later? I had an experience where I did LST on auto and it took more than 15 weeks to finish her cycle. She stressed out a bit, though. And how is it possible that some people achieve 8 weeks veg with autos?
