They look a little small for LST still. Just let them open up a bit. Personally, LST is not for me! Good luck. ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

I tie my string to paper clips which i bend open and hook on the branches I want to strain. Made my life a lot easier than tying and untying string to branches. Give it a try!

Advice?
Done with LST. I added a little overdrive.. just so anxious. My plants seem in line with pics from other Growers diaries. Any advice appreciated. Sometimes I’m afraid I overdo it with early topping and I did a lot of lst on these. I’m new at this. Thanks for reading! 🌱

LST Autoflowers
So, I am on my last day of week 5 with these auto’s. They are still aggressively growing upwards. Was wondering if now would be too late to start some LST with them? Pros and cons? Thanks guys!

LST clips
Am I using these clips right? The branches are aiming downwards and literally laying on the clay balls. I did try to bend the clips out a bit so they're not bending at such a sharp angle but they've gone back to shape. Is this going to damage or stress her too much?

Improving LST in textil pots ?
Do you have any advice for me for my LST? Because I am in a textile pot and it is not very practical to make hanging points ... I try to make it turn in a "spiral" to maximize the space.

Rate my LST
Third round of topping. Trying to bend the branches in the usual way so "pulling down", the "Y split" in the topping sites always break/open. So I'm trying this way with ropes and engraved sticks to PUSH the branches away from the inside. What do you think? Alternatives? -DD

I have a question about my LST, my first, so if you have any advice. I want to do basically SCROG, with 6 branches and the two from topping. Do you think her first two branches will be able to get to the top? They are not growing much,thinking about lollipoping them before flower

Should i do LST or not ? Or maybe LST one Plant, let one grow natural ?
this is my third ever grow, and i was wondering if its worthy letting a plant grow natural, So far my two first plants i have done LST on, will the yield be impacted a lot when its being grown natural ? What do you think, should i give letting it grow natural a chance or do LST ?

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?

Is now the time to top?
Is this a good time to top? Most plants are developing their 5th or 6th node as pictured. Is it recommended to cut just above the 4th or 5th node? I am planning on doing "LBH’s Famous 4-Way LST" combined with SCrOG.
