How soon can I lst?
Ezzjaybruhanswered grow question 3 years ago
I’d say around week 3-4 you are plenty good to start. Be conscious of the soil and do not let them sit directly in/on the soil.. I keep it inches from it just to be safe.
By the looks of the stages of your plants I’d wait at least a week or 10 days til you have 5+ nodes

Autos around week 3 for me—- but really depends on the size. I never LST photos. ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

Anytime now through the next two weeks- bend her over, just above the soil. I like these plastic bendy things- but a rubber coated wire would work too. You want to restrict her, not cut into her- so avoid string or non coated wires to be safe.
I tend to wait until I get a better idea of her layout and where her side branches will eventually go. 🌱

Dont let them touch the soil - persistent damp, biological activity etc. can do some damage and I tie down as soon as they are ready about 3 weeks in, make sure to get tjem into position before stretch :)

When to stop LST? (Auto)When should i stop horizontal LST and let her main branches to vertically? i'd say she's well into preflower with pistils popping up everywhere and the smell getting noticable. LST hasn't gone this well in my previous grows so i'm not sure where to end it.

Did I start LST too early?At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

I’m fairly new growing cannabis. I’ve always grown autos in organic soil. I’ve always used LST. My question. If space isn’t an issue, what benefits are there to LST? Is it worth the effort? I’m not

Two phenos started flowering at 23 daysThey look just fine don't they? I mean a few top leaves have suffered some heat stress, and some leaves can seem a bit droopy for some reason (definitely not from overwatering). But the RH is only 30-35%, I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with that, lack of preferred RH.
