Node distance and LST

Wintermutestarted grow question 4y ago

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?

GrowCNanswered grow question 4y ago

If I want more distance between nodes I will walk the line with low light. I will run my lights at lower power to encourage some stretch but you don't want to go too far and hurt growth. In the end you can not fight genetics so you just work with the plant you have. A close node spacing isn't the end for LST though. I get busy with the training & tying during the stretch to get all the bud sites spread out as much as possible.

When to start 12/12 Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top. So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.

Too broken to save?Aaaand I’ve completely disregarded my own plan of letting these girls grow naturally, and accidentally snapped the main stalk. Pretty much entirely across. I immediately taped it. But being that it’s an auto, is it even worth doing this?

It is summer and the temperature here is high, 35ºC in the sun and the humidity is around 30%. Is it better to expose it under the direct sun or semi shade?

Did a round of LST/Tucking last night, woke up to a fully broken off top growth of the main stem, effectively topping it(?). Is there anything I can/should do?
