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!

Info about frequency of LST/SCROG the main stem
Should I keep bending my auto’s main stem back under the SCROG net daily if it keeps straightening? It’s Week 3, I'm going straight with SCROG. Worried about stress, I have to wait a few days between adjustments or keep tucking daily?

How to do LST when flowering has begun?
The plants keep stretching even 3 weks after the flip and it will grow in to the light when the flowers start to beef up, what would be the best way to do some lst without snapping the hard branches

Are my plants already starting to bloom or not?
I got 3 questions: 1) Do my plants actually bloom or not? 2) Do I need to add red light now? (For now I have 6 "cold" bulbs by 25 watts. Should I change all of them or just ad 2 for beginning?) 3) How can I boost stems growth or it's too late?

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.

Low-Stress Training, Pre-flower Concerns
When low-stress training, is it better to make sure the pistils of preflowering stage are covered by leaves or are they ok to be exposed to light? I thought they may be to vulnerable for full light exposure (150w FLS led, Royal Dwarf Auto, pre-flower stage)

LST during flowering?
is it OK to keep bending her main stem over during flower? It wouldn't be a big deal but I am running out of room to keep raising the light. She a good 4 inches above the rest. See Day 34 pic

General feedback
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, to me the plant looks healthy, however it is a bit small considering it’s age, right? I’m thinking it may be because of the cheap ‘300W’ light I was using at the beginning of the grow. What do you guys think? (Video end of week 6)

More lst?
On lemon 2 should I perform more lst? I looked at bending down what branches I'd be able to and it didn't make too much of a difference in regarding to how bushy she is and also the branches are starting to get quite rigid now. Thanks.
