started grow question 4y ago
Now that she is flowering, do I remove my LST tie-downs? Or do I just leave them on and make sure her stems have plenty of room in the loops?

Check my OG Diesel Kush autoflower diary out. I left all my LST ties down. Make sure you leave space for the stem/branches to thicken

I would leave them if anything try to keep pulling it apart to let more air and light in if possible.

LST on rigid main stem
I think I should have started with LST sooner. The main stem is rather rigid now. Unfortunately, I was away during Week 3. Would you recommend gradually pulling it sideways or better to leave it alone at this stage?

When to stop LST
My question is when do I stop tying my girls down and just let them grow? You can see from my photos that I've got quite a good spread now, should I just let them do their thing or carry on tying? Thanks in advance

LST on good track?
Hi, first time LST, can someone tell me if I’m doing it correctly, maybe must wait some days, it stressed a bit but is recovering. Think I’m doing k, next time find a kind of grid or so and place it to help me tie branches. Much obliged. 😀

Day 19 pre-flower and stunted growth?
Hi folks, I did a bit of LST on my auto a few days ago, then noticed stamens the following day and it seems that growth has slowed. She's day 19 (post sprouting). Does everything look ok?

Wann und wie mit LST anfangen?
Meine Pflanzen befinden sich jetzt in Woche 3 und ich möchte das sie nicht hoch sondern buschig wachsen. Ich habe Pflanzenklammern die 90Grad biegen können hier. Ist die schon bereit? Oder wäre eher Topping die bessere Variante?
