Is it time for LST?

munchiesartstarted grow question 4 years ago

Do you think I should start LST for ALH girls or wait a while? Friends who do the same Grow usually continue by doing LST on the 3rd and 5th weeks. I would be glad if you examine the photos below and enlighten me on this subject.

Hi mate, i wouldn't train any autos as it causes them so much stress it hurts your yield. If you have a photo i would wait till she is more mature before doing lst. goos luck and happy growing

Lst advise @Fast_Buds, please could you advise if I should keep tying down side branches and training my autos seeing that they have started to show pre-flowering signs? I did some LsT last night and noticed they have just started to show pre-flower signs… is it best to leave them now?

LST - am I doing it right?I figured I could try training my plant by LST and since I am very new to this and generally don't want to kill my ladies could you please comment on the way I have done it? Plants held with plastic coated paper clips, because I am lazy but creative :) Also is it safe?

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.

Node distance and LST Wondering if I should do something to increase node distance. I see so many journals of people doing LST and their plants seem to be stretched so much more and it seems much more clear where and what to train. Is this ok? Good? Terrible?

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
