Hey friend, how's it going? I think it's up to each person, but you have many LST examples here in the forum, you can always search and check them out, that way it's easier for you to get a better idea of what you can do. Very simple, my friend. By the way, congratulations on your plant, it's huge. Everything going well and hugs!

I stop around 4 week of flower but depends on how much stretch it takes on.

The answers you are looking for are very subjective. You can do as much, or as little, LST as you like. Also, you can stop whenever you like. You probably don’t want to be doing much training in late flower when the branches become more rigid. Also, I looked at your diary. If you’re really on week 9, I’d recommend switching your lights to 12/12. With an auto you should be closer to harvest by week 9 than to preflower (you’re not in flower yet). I’ve had this happen before myself. The good news is she’ll be a monster plant when she’s done!

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First Grow My plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

LST attempt revamped So I took the advice and added another tie at her base just so it's not pulling against her roots. I think I did it right. Top leaves are now pointing upward only after 1 hour after first tie...

This is my first experience growing indoors and also growing autos. Do you guys think the Northern Lights will survive ? It will recover in some way (I don't care about lower shields) ? Or should I just end it and focus on the other two plants ? BTW, this community is amazing

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.

Water and LST It's my first Grow, going into week 3 should I go above 0.5ltr per pot? I want to try lst, I only have pipe cleaners and I don't think they are quite big enough for me to try lst yet should I wait a couple more days or just go for it?
