LST on good track?
Minigrower
started grow question 5y ago
Hi, first time LST, can someone tell me if I’m doing it correctly, maybe must wait some days, it stressed a bit but is recovering. Think I’m doing k, next time find a kind of grid or so and place it to help me tie branches. Much obliged. 😀

You want the top to be lower than the nodes below it. Best of luck!

More training now? or leave her longer?
I've attached image from 7 days after defoliation and more LST and what she grew to today. Quite bushy, should I defoliate/tuck again so more light gets to lower branches? only do some more lst? more lst and defoliation? or leave her for now and let her grow? 35 days from seed

Are my plants already starting to bloom or not?
I got 3 questions: 1) Do my plants actually bloom or not? 2) Do I need to add red light now? (For now I have 6 "cold" bulbs by 25 watts. Should I change all of them or just ad 2 for beginning?) 3) How can I boost stems growth or it's too late?

Zdarec, přemýšlím nad tím že dále bych pokračoval s metodou SCROG. Kdy a jak s metodou nejlépe začít? A má to vůbec smysl v mém stanu 45x45x120 cm ? Děkuji za každou reakcí 😉 . Mír

What are my chances of a cutting that was only meant to be stretched with LST, string surviving without any root products. Its placed directly into a grow cube, with water and then the mini greenhouse. I have a perfect LED grow light gently willing it on. WILL IT SURVIVE???

Is it possible to use the lst method for an autoflowering plant, every time I see that you can bend and fix a branch under the lamp? I'm worried that it will be extra stressful for it, but I also don't want it to be too tall. When is it advisable to stop bending?

Regarding Fimming?
First time FIM for my baby but I’m not sure if I did it right ... There is a very tiny grow in the middle that I noticed today - the two picture are 30 hours apart - did I get it right or did I FFIM lol :p ? Also the plant is still pretty short - should I start LST?

I want to learn more about LST (low stress training) tecnic
I never done it before, but I’m sure it will improve my yield, maximizing resources, mainly light watts. Shall I start by bending the main cola, is it better for the shape of this plant? (+Speed auto from Sweet Seeds). Thank you 🙏 in advance for any insights.

LST too early?
Not 100% bout if I’m doing lst right? I ordered some training hooks so will prob ditch the string then. Maybe I’m trying lst too early?

Won't cut yet or should I?
Am I doing this right? The top arrow is the way I'm bending her, or do I bend her back, bottom arrow? I already stressed her out enough. I defoliated to get rid of shade, bent more. Tied down the twigs. Comments needed lol 👊

Will the branch recover from a crack?
Accidentaly cracked one branch during the LST. Should I let it as it is and wait for it to recover, or should I remove the branch completely? She is an autoflower Royal Bluematic in the 3rd week of veg. Thanks for the tips :)

How to keep the main cola from blocking everything else
How to make the top cola not block all the other budsites? I tried LST to pull her to the side a bit as you can see in my second picture of this week, but she's very determined to grow towards the middle.

Should I be starting LST. Been bending to get it used to it but not tied yet
I feel like the topic is very controversial about when to start LST. Some say 3 nodes some say 6. Attached is a picture of my biggest girl so far. Lots of new growth this week so far but not the tallest yet. Open to hearing from the grow community thanks
