LST white skunk auto

Celticweedstarted grow question 5y ago

I have lst my 2 auto plants. They sit in a single long/wide pot. I have bent both plants towards each other so that things are kept quite small and dense. What are your thoughts? Was it the good timing? Fiming was done a week ago.

I woud say from around week 3, so the timing is okay, and then stop when you can't notice any more growth 😊

Have just noticed that my slow lemon plant seems to have had a slight rupture, don't really know how it's still ok as it looks like it happened long enough ago for it to heal kinda... Guessing I got a bit heavy handed with the LST in a tired stoned state... Should I do something?

What Should I Do?I'm planning on swazzing this next week and was wondering if maybe I should bend those long ass shoots to fall on my ring when I do? In my head it would even the canopy and get more exposure in the same. Am I wrong? Should I do it or just swazz and go? Any input would be greatly!

Lst...round stem?...like a spiral I guess.What am I doing?....see how I bent her almost out of the pot, I don't want that and don't have the space for that. I want to keep it simple and small. Am I doing right or did I do a shnoot.

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!

Should i take off the hooks (LST)Someone here told me that it is not fair to lay the girls on the ground as i did, because the leaves touches the soil. Should i set them free to go up and continue the LST once the plant is some centimetres up? Or should i leave it like this and keep going? I dunno what to do.
