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.

Royal Creamatic training
What kinda training would you recommend for this strain? RQS say it tends to 'grow one big main bud with just a few small branches,' so would it still make sense to do LST here?

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.

Low plant LST - possibly stunted
Does anyone have any opinions regarding the LST being that low? PAR is around 635 with a DLI of 46 at the tallest cola. pH is quite constant between 6.2-6.5 with very little nutrients given so far.

LST Advice
I plan to do some LST and wanted to do it simple like in the picture. But one of my plants is growing very bushy and dense and I'm concerned that I can't tie down the main stem. Is there any other easy way or should I not do LST at all?

Does the LST seem to be alright?
I need your opinion on the LST process I have implemented. Do you think I was too aggressive or did I do it the way it should be?

!! OUTDOOR !! || LST on AUTOs
Never had a satisfying LST when growing Autos outdoor, my idea is that suboptimal conditions of outdoor enviroment lead to slowed veg (compared to indoor) and low stretch. Maybe letting them grow without training in the end leads to bigger yield. What's your idea/experience?

Will the branch recover from a crack?
Accidentaly cracked one branch during the LST. Should I let it as it is and wait for it to recover, or should I remove the branch completely? She is an autoflower Royal Bluematic in the 3rd week of veg. Thanks for the tips :)

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.

Too many branches?
Have tied down the 8 main branches so that all are horizontally on the same level "Circle of Buds". Now there are a mass of new branches, should I let them all grow or should I reduce them?? She has a space of 55 x 45 cm horizontally. How many buds make sense at 55cm x 45cm?

Need tips/help with very very bushy plant
Potted for almost 6 weeks, grows super super bushy (already has 12 branches (6 nodes?), branches are so short that I can't even LST them. I guess she grows like that because of her genetics but maybe there's a way how to 'fix' her? Topped once, strain RQS Triple G
