When Should I LST?
Burmeseanswered grow question 3 years ago
Hi there, If you want to perform LST, you are good to go.Here’s my advice for you to perform LST.First,Start bending your main stem in one direction,as parallel as possible to the soil.Be careful not to break the stem. Counteract that bend from opposite side.So that your main stem can’t fall off easily and accidentally.Then continue on doing that as the main stem growing taller.Do the same to the other branches and spread the branches to side way.Happy Growing... ✌️

5th node is good time. I gently roll and twist the stems some before bending and tying down. Be gentle with it and she will bring big rewards. Gl the rest of the way.

With the plant having about 5 nodes and being 5 weeks old I'd say this is the perfect time to start LST, if you wait any later the stems will be too firm and won't bend.

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 amazing

SNAPPED MAIN STEM HALF WAY DURING WEEK 5 (still in Veg)During LST I snapped the main stem of one of my Pineapple Express Autos. It very easily snapped almost completely off but it still has a few fibres left. I panicked &used duct tape and some sticks to keep it supported. Has anyone done this before? Is it successful? Yields effect?

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?

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

Should i take off the hooks (LST)Someone here told me that it is not fair to lay the girls on the ground as i did, because the leaves touches the soil.
Should i set them free to go up and continue the LST once the plant is some centimetres up?
Or should i leave it like this and keep going? I dunno what to do.
