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.

Is it time for LST?
Do you think I should start LST for ALH girls or wait a while? Friends who do the same Grow usually continue by doing LST on the 3rd and 5th weeks. I would be glad if you examine the photos below and enlighten me on this subject.

My question is concerning the use of LST, and it's correlation to longer than usual harvest times. It seems all the growers I follow whom train/defoliate their plants consistently harvest as much as 6 weeks later than what the breeder calls for. Any thoughts?

Are my plants too little for LST?
When should I start LST my plants? They are coming up on being there weeks old and I was thinking I'd start soon, but I think they might be too small and I'd hate to hurt them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated? And thank you!

Did I start LST too early?
At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

Top the plant again or not?
Hello growers, I have a question, I already top this 2 plants and I’m doing lst, and later I’ll use the scrog, but can I top it again? Should I do it or isn’t worth it? I read it could lower the finally quantity yield, and that is some stress to the plant. Is it worth?

Should I stop LST yet?
How much longer should I be training my girl? I accidentally topped her very short early on so she has a low but very flat canopy. She started preflower last week and I am almost to the edge of the pot
