Too much/When to stop LST?

GratefulGrowerstarted grow question 4 years ago

This WWA was extremely short and bushy, only about 10 cm on day 20. I went ahead with some LST anyway to open her up to the light. Time flies and it feels like she's still growing slowly... I am wondering if I am tying her down too much, and when should I stop?

Yeah once buds start to appear I'd say the stretch is about done. I've had some small bushy autos I wish I would of left alone to. You got some buds growing so grate job fam.

Yeah, in hindsight I guess I was a little trigger itchy on trying out that LST, even though she sure was small. Too small even for best results obviously.

To LST or No LST?Does practicing LST on autoflowers actually increase your yield? I ask this because I look at people who grow without any training at all and they seem to have way more bud sites. I prefer an answer from someone who has experience growing both ways. Thanks

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?
