Node distance and LST Wondering if I should do something to increase node distance. I see so many journals of people doing LST and their plants seem to be stretched so much more and it seems much more clear where and what to train. Is this ok? Good? Terrible?

How to top to make more colas (mainline)I was curious if anyone could help me understand how they train their plant to separate into like 7 or 8 different branches right down at the bottom of the stem. Almost looks like multiple topping on top of each. Any advice? Added a photo for more clarity.

Split Stalk Down Center Stalk split down the center due to stressing it too hard too fast. I have it secured in place but it's about 3 weeks into flowed and I'm worried about its effect as well as if it can heal.

When You recommend to start LST?So, it is the question: when? I wanted to train them few times already, but scarring to broke yong trunks always stops me. Maybe I should wait more time to them produce heavy crone? What do You think about it?

How and when to train?Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Advice?Done with LST. I added a little overdrive.. just so anxious. My plants seem in line with pics from other Growers diaries. Any advice appreciated. Sometimes I’m afraid I overdo it with early topping and I did a lot of lst on these. I’m new at this. Thanks for reading! 🌱
