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

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 👊

Top the plant again or not?
Hello growers, I have a question, I already top this 2 plants and I’m doing lst, and later I’ll use the scrog, but can I top it again? Should I do it or isn’t worth it? I read it could lower the finally quantity yield, and that is some stress to the plant. Is it worth?

Broken branch on auto plant
I was doing some LST training on my auto plant and accidentally broke one of its branches. Will this significantly impact my yields? I've already covered it with Scotch tape.

Has anyone had success giving their plant darkness before harvest? If so, what percentage of amber do you like to see before shutting out the light?

Too many branches?
Have tied down the 8 main branches so that all are horizontally on the same level "Circle of Buds". Now there are a mass of new branches, should I let them all grow or should I reduce them?? She has a space of 55 x 45 cm horizontally. How many buds make sense at 55cm x 45cm?

Make LST or not?
Is it better to continue with defoliation only and switch lights 20th of January, or make some lst now and let her evolve longer (until the end of January...)? She had topping already💀

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?
I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think. I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

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...

I used the LST technique three days ago. Do you think that I did this job correctly and what is the next move to continue training? The plants are now at the beginning of week 4. Do you think they are growing enough or are they behind? thanks

Training Methods
So has anyone ever laid a plant down like this one has been done? I've looked up LST and mainlining but no luck yet. Always have just tied down branches. Any experience/advice with this would be great.
