I place a wire at the very bottom opposite of the wire that holds down the top. Then you aren't pulling on the roots.

Not quite, you're looking to get about a 75-90 deg. Bend in the plant. Might wait for another set of leaves to go before bending her.

Too broken to save?
Aaaand I’ve completely disregarded my own plan of letting these girls grow naturally, and accidentally snapped the main stalk. Pretty much entirely across. I immediately taped it. But being that it’s an auto, is it even worth doing this?

When is the right time to remove LST clips?
Hi Growers, I’m using LST clips for the first time. I probably started a bit late but better late than never. Now I’m wondering, when is the right time to remove them? I assume it’s when the stem starts getting too thick for the clip, but I’d love to hear your advice!

Bent stem LST
So I did LST but fucked up and bent the stem a little. Should I just let it heal by itself or should I do something? It's an automatic quick one Thanks

Is LST a Good idea for those autoflo ?
Should i try LST on some of those ladies or should i just let them be ? (Not right now but within the 2 next weeks). I saw it was possible to make LST on autoflo in the first 3 weeks but is it really gonna mate the crop bigger or is it just gonna stress the plant ?

When to start LST?
Hey Growers, I'm a few weeks into my first grow and I'm keen to try some LST. Is it too early to start training them? Also, they're a short strain so should I even bother training them at all? Appreciate any advice. Thanks K

More or Less nutes and Molasses?
My first time grow and my autos are in flowering. I’ve been giving them grandmas molasses (half teaspn/1gal) every feeding along with her other nutes. She’s been taking them well, should I up the dose? Or feed every other watering?
