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

Thoughts?
Should I be concerned or do something differently? The plants all seem to be very small height wise, but otherwise doing well.

I snapped the main stem during LST by accident
Do you guys think my plant will recover with the main stem break? Details are in the journal but basically it completely snapped, was hanging by a thread of fibre. I used some allow and ducting tap that came with my exhaust.

Am I doing LST training correctly?
I'm at the beginning of Week 2 (AUTO-FLOWER), I'm trying to do some LST, little bending and nothing more. Can anyone please say if I'm doing everything correctly? I don't want to stress my lady, and I also won't do it bad way. I will be grateful for every tip!

LST advice! I keep snapping tops
I keep snapping tops during LST. Get ready for the dumb question! How often or aggressive should I be doing it? Is the idea to keep them low? Any info would be appreciated.

Hey everyone! I snapped a branch very badly 4 days ago, i taped it immediately. One leaf died on that part of that branch but she’s recovering im sure because this branch started growing again. My question is how long should i wait before trying lst again on that branch?One week?

When should I LST and add Nutrients?
Wanted to low stress train this plant if I am able too.I am not really sure when to start, does the plant look old enough to begin introducing this technique? Should I wait another week? Also when should I start feeding the plant nutrients? It’s still growing pretty fast.

Water and LST
It's my first Grow, going into week 3 should I go above 0.5ltr per pot? I want to try lst, I only have pipe cleaners and I don't think they are quite big enough for me to try lst yet should I wait a couple more days or just go for it?

Just did my first LST. Any thoughts?
Hello! This is my first time doing LST. This auto flower is about 3.5 weeks old, and I just tied it down in two spots. Do you think this is a good start to Listing, or is it too much bending? Too little? Thanks to all who take the time to answer! 🌿🍅
