Lst and defoliation or scrog are the Gold standard. Less stress and same results in less time.

LST Question for next grow!Hey guys do you think that this much lst is needed for an autoflower? It has 20+ tops and some more lower ones that I defoliated for the light to reach. Just asking for next grows,does it really up the yield if you have more tops or I could have the same yields with 10 tops max.

How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

LST with small space Should I do LST when my horizontal space is limited? I have 3 Autos in a 60x60x180cm tent and I‘m a bit concerned that this will a bit too small if they grow out. So would LST contribute more to the horizontal space problem?

LST Does this LST look fine? Have them inside under the LEDs now that the sun is down. Primarily spend their time outside.

General LST questions (how am I doing?)Should I be constantly changing the direction of the tie down on my main stem during LST or should I just be tying down new growth on bud sites? should I defoliate or use thinner ties (Using rubber coated wire) and should I let small growth grow up first or tie it down ASAP?
