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.

Topping for scrog
I'm putting 3 plants into scrog net. Would it be best to keep these topped to produce 4 mains so I can spread them evenly sideways as opposed to the way I normally top for 8 mains? In a 4×4 tent.

Low stress training. To undo and redo or leave them as is. That the question :P
Another one related to my lst. So i got the hang of doing lst. I started off really early with all on the lst. The plant is fairly close to the ground. Can I undo the lst and let them grow a bit tall and then re do the lst later? Or leave it as it is and let them grow as is?

General LST questions (how am I doing?)
Should I be constantly changing the direction of the tie down on my main stem during LST or should I just be tying down new growth on bud sites? should I defoliate or use thinner ties (Using rubber coated wire) and should I let small growth grow up first or tie it down ASAP?

Have just noticed that my slow lemon plant seems to have had a slight rupture, don't really know how it's still ok as it looks like it happened long enough ago for it to heal kinda... Guessing I got a bit heavy handed with the LST in a tired stoned state... Should I do something?

Final stages of Veg! Am I missing anything
Heading into the last 2 weeks of Veg, are there any suggestions for things I should consider doing to help maximize this amazing grow so far. First ever attempt at super-cropping, and it’s my 5th indoor project. Never had such a low lush profile. Looking forward to Flower

Focusing on Full Healthy Buds
I think my baby autos went to Flower way too early and I’m not too sure where or when I made the mistake. With that being said I know my yield won’t be huge (as I am expecting this since this is my first grow) but is there any way that I can maximize the size of my buds?
