That’ll work just fine though I typically start by securing the base of the plant and pulling down from the top to let the undergrowth start. Then tie down the undergrowth in whatever direction you want it to grow as it starts to stretch out.

I’m first time grower and would like some help on choosing my first seeds. I’m doing an indoor grow, LED lights, Soil Medium, prefer high yielding and high thc, feminised as well. I’m planning on doing LST and using a SCROG to allow a higher yield. Thank you :)

Top her off THEN LST?
Growing a tangerine dream auto she’s a few weeks old and growing nicely. I hear this one can get large, even tho it’s an auto. So I was thinking to top the plant AND then start LST to keep her from getting too big. Does this make sense? Or LST first then top? Thanks!

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?

Grow method advice
I want to grow plants tall however considered doing LST. Any suggestions on growing techniques here, maybe topping instead? If i do LST does that mean they wont grow up tall? Was thinking of doing different methods but want them all to be the same height. Also want good yield.

General questions about my grow
Based on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.
