When measuring the height of a plant do you measure from soil to top of canopy or is it the length of the main stem? MIne are trained sideways.😎

You're measuring from soil to top of canopy, otherwise that measurement doesn't mean much 🌱👍

Plant not growing
I’m in week 4 of growing and my plant seems to have stopped growing. Is there anything I can do? It has great drainage in the grow bag and I’ve fertilized it and it gets plenty of light. What am I doing wrong?

LST method, topping and switching to flower!
Please look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going good so far but think I need to wait a little longer before topping? Anyone have a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower, am I rushing things🙏

General LST questions (how am I doing?)
Should I be constantly changing the direction of the tie down on my main stem during LST or should I just be tying down new growth on bud sites? should I defoliate or use thinner ties (Using rubber coated wire) and should I let small growth grow up first or tie it down ASAP?

Is this plant already stretching?
Is this plant already stretching or is it normal like this? And how does it look so far in general? I know that it´s still very young but this is my first grow and I´m still very inexperienced. Thank you for your help!

opinion on bud maturity ?
About 6 weeks since flip from flower and wanted to know if the orange/browning of the white pistils means that the bud has already reached its max size and will only ripen ,but bud sizes look pretty small to me does this mean yield will be low ? or am i just overthinking.

Did I start flushing too early?
I started flushing this plant on day 42 of bloom, and in just a week, I noticed a big change in the colouring. For future reference, I would like to hear from you guys if you think I started flushing too early. Also, how long do you think this plant has until harvest - 14 days?

Herm in the scrog
I just found a hermie in my scrog. I guess this is a sad day for the whole tent as I'm assuming everything will get pollinated now. Correct?

To LST or not to LST?
I have 2 healthy Automaria II, paradise seeds, 3 weeks after germination and 16 cm tall, on the balcony and I am tempted to bend one of them and practice some LST of FIMming to see the difference. I don’t know.. I don’t want to risk the final harvest quantity.. Any advise?
