answered grow question 5y ago
I usually start when there are at least 3 nodes, those look to be the perfect size for training

Wie am besten Trainieren?
Ich habe hier eine Lemon Cherry Cookies die ich am besten auf die breite des Zeltes ziehen möchte. (60x60). Wann fange ich an? Welche Methode ist die beste? Habe mir für Später schon ein Scrognetz besorgt. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/280180-grow-journal-by-oriongrowgul#wee

LST Gorilla Glue Auto
LST Gorilla Glue Auto Fastbuds, sieht das so gut aus? Und sollte ich den Hauptrieb weiterhin runterbinden weil sich die blätter immer über die seitentriebe stellen, oder soll ich den Hauptrieb erstmal hochwachsen lassen?

When Should I LST?
My Green crack has about 5 nodes now and i do not plan on topping or FIMing her because of lack of experience. When can I start doing LST, I dont want to start to early or start to late and the stems be firm.

!! OUTDOOR !! || LST on AUTOs
Never had a satisfying LST when growing Autos outdoor, my idea is that suboptimal conditions of outdoor enviroment lead to slowed veg (compared to indoor) and low stretch. Maybe letting them grow without training in the end leads to bigger yield. What's your idea/experience?

LST clips
Am I using these clips right? The branches are aiming downwards and literally laying on the clay balls. I did try to bend the clips out a bit so they're not bending at such a sharp angle but they've gone back to shape. Is this going to damage or stress her too much?

Removal of fan leaves touching the medium
When performing LST, would you guys remove the fan leaves touching the medium or leave them on? I am just worried that they might catch mold due to the irrigation.

Did I start LST too early?
At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

Training autos - predicting peak of vigor on plants
Hi Growers, I've done lst and hst on autos before but not always the same nice results and I wonder what tips you might have or what markers I might look for in the plant to know if it's on point for training. How to identify the peak of vigor before it happens in veg?

1st go at scrog. Any particular way to LST you guys can recommend?
Hi folks. First time going for scrog, ladies on day 18 with interesting node spacing. When do you guys reckon i should start with lst in preparation for them approaching the net? Also, where is the best starting point for that, so i just bend the main stem sideways and tie it?

Flowering and LST Tie-Downs
Now that she is flowering, do I remove my LST tie-downs? Or do I just leave them on and make sure her stems have plenty of room in the loops?

LST + SOG - Should/could I remove the LST ties once I place a trelace net over the plants? My plants haven't grown upwards much due to the training/tying down to the pot... A tent and filtration are enroute to support operation, prior to flowering...

Top her off THEN LST?
Growing a tangerine dream auto she’s a few weeks old and growing nicely. I hear this one can get large, even tho it’s an auto. So I was thinking to top the plant AND then start LST to keep her from getting too big. Does this make sense? Or LST first then top? Thanks!
