Basementgrow05started grow question 4 years ago

I’m kinda confused on what too do exactly with this plant it’s my first grow and I’ve heard of a bunch of techniques LST topping and I’m wondering is I should tie it down and just keep it tied down and let it grow or let the side branches come out and then train them too come out

She looks Great!! I have some now I did to them just what you are asking a question about. Just alittle older but about the same size. Check 'em out. Now for me, I said for me, I'd tie that baby down as soon as the the 2 tops get long enough to tie down, side branches too. BUT if you have room, I don't, I'd let that baby grow and top again.

LST is pretty much training your plant to grow bigger and spread it over your grow space to increase yield and control it's Hight . I'd start with topping it at the point your plant is at right now, and once the new growth shoots grow bigger start bending them and tying them down to spread out it's growth and expose the nodes to more light. Wait until new growth has at least 4-5 new nodes before topping again to prevent airflow problems! Plant looks amazing though!! Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

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
