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.

LST on good track?
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. 😀

Training autos - predicting peak of vigor on plants
Hi Growers, I've done lst and hst on autos before but not always the same nice results and I wonder what tips you might have or what markers I might look for in the plant to know if it's on point for training. How to identify the peak of vigor before it happens in veg?

FEMALE OR HERMAPHRODITE?
hi guys my plant is 8 weeks old. it has been in a premature flowering phase for 10 days. I believe due to lights on during the dark hours. in your opinion, will I be able to get something out of it while still waiting, or has she become a hermaphrodite? ITS OUTDOOR GROWING andLSt

Removal of fan leaves touching the medium
When performing LST, would you guys remove the fan leaves touching the medium or leave them on? I am just worried that they might catch mold due to the irrigation.
