When do I start Low Stress Training and Will topping help along with LST to increase harvest?
paliastomistarted grow question 4y ago
When do I start Low Stress Training? and Will Topping help with LST to maximize harvest or Is it better if I just do only Low Stress Training? The Plant is at Day 36th (35 Days and 11 Hours Right now) Are those 2 small dried leaves a sign of a problem?

Low stress training is best performed when the plant is young and bendy, combined with topping, when your plant gets to 5 or 6 proper sets of leaves and lollipop everything below the Y, so negating your yellow leaves😊, you end up with a bushier plant that won't max out the ceiling of your grow op, but may laterally fill the space= more bud sites...happy growing dude

Yes, I would start LST. I see healthy but lazy plants. Need more light? Less humidity? More heat? hard to say

Dont worry all fine... you could start with some LST if you are not sure about topping as early as 2 Weeks after Germ. but you should atleast have a grasp what you are doing by then.
Its all about your own maths in the end if you have the extra weeks for them to heal after topping/training sure go for it.😊

I top all my plants when the have about 6 nodes. Then use lst to spread them out.. I feel it give you far better yield than lst alone and allows you to make a more even easier to manage stem and canopy 💪 looks good so far but I’d give it a couple more days til you top them 👍

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?

To top or not to top (Again...would be 2nd time).Should I top 1 more time? I have (Example pic) 4 good nodes at the end of the 2 main branches. Should I top these to allow the ones mid branch to pick up and boost or should I leave them now and just flip in a week or 2? Think they're near end of veg as not putting on any height!

Looking for opinions on a try of LST and a thought about taking off big fan leaves from the topHad a shot at LST training one of my girlfriend plants, just wondering opinion from people if it has been done correctly. Also had a thought to take off two big fan leaves from the top to get more light onto nodes, not quite sure if that would be good idea
Leaves. Too many

Remove lower branches on this grow?Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.5y ago

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.5y ago
