Thatβll 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.

LST/Topping for autoflowers?
Growing an afghan kush auto and a skunk villain auto (both 5 gal pots) in a snug 2.5 x 2.5. Wanting a uniform height I wasn't sure if I should top and/or train either- was thinking LST for the Skunk? Would also like to keep height mod. without sacrificing too much on the harvest.

First time LST
What can I do to encourage a side stem to grow to the same size/thickness of the main stem? I have tied the top down and tied a stem out a bit to get the light but not sure if I'm doing something wrong that's stopping it from looking like it should, thank you for any help! ππ

LST correct?
Another week, another question lol eh knowledge is power π Just want my first grow to be a success π€ Am I doing LST correctly? I've tied it down near the top of the main stem. Should I be tying the smaller stems too, to separate the canopy more?

I did an LST last time, but I'm not sure I did it right. Can you please tell me, given that the lateral branches are already very active, but the trun
should I do an LST in a 4-5 days? And maybe some tips. Last time I anchored the plant from the bottom so that the roots wouldn't come out of the ground from below and the stem wouldn't bend so much, and then pulled the stem over the top, is this correct?
