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!

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.

Grow help and advice
Hey guys little help. Need an opinion on how my plants are looking. I’ve successfully LST the one but left the other. Both are topped under 18/6 light. Watering .75 L with bio buzz grow and add bloom and top max every other watering. Also does this look like flowering ? THANKS

Will this tape repair a broken stem?
Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Preflower: Still going for LST?
Seeing preflowering already on a fast growing strain (7 weeks according to Sweet Seeds) should I still opt for LST or just leave her alone and do her thing?

Keeping Sativa Short
Could it be possible to keep a very tall sativa strain like Shogun ('Indoors 90-140 cm') to a maximum height of about 60 cm using training techniques?

So we are at 4.5 weeks standing about 6.5 inches. Is it to early to start training? This is a strictly outdoor grow so mother nature is in complete control of lighting. Sun up 6am sun down @ 10pm roughly. Temps range anywhere from 75°-95° F daily & 65 -75 @ night humidity 70-90%

Ideal time to begin LST ?
Ideal time to begin LST ? Any tips and/or tricks? In the past I have just pinched and pinched until I had 6-8 main colas, but I intend to use 2-3 scrog nets and LST to attempt an even canopy.

Does LST increase yields in autoflowers?
Those advocating LST for autoflowers promise increased yields. Is there evidence to support this? Other than flattening the canopy, which helps in limited spaces, is there a scientific reason why training increases yield?

Remove or tie down fan leaves?
Hi guys, what's the better option, removing big ass fan leaves to give bud nodes more exposure to light or tie fan leaves down? I tied a few down but don't know if that's a good idea. Help is greatly appreciated ;)

How can I make this better?
How do my ladies look? They are on day 1 of week 6. I would like these plants to fill my 4x4 tent. My question is how much longer before you would flip? Also what are your options on LST, Super cropping, Lollipoping or any other ideas on how to improve quality and quantity.
