My first grow
Apolloo
started grow question 5y ago
Should I not do any LST or topping yet in this condition? Also, is it still too early to cut off the unwanted leaves at the bottom? I'm worried because I hear that this strain blooms early. +Speed Auto

Days between LST for mainline/manifold training
For mainlining, after the first cut, do I need to move the soft garden ties out as the new growth tips grow? The green crack is really shooting out in recovery and I want to keep it in it's manifold shape as it does. How many days between LST sessions essentially?

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?

LST after Topping
When would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!

Should I stop LST yet?
How much longer should I be training my girl? I accidentally topped her very short early on so she has a low but very flat canopy. She started preflower last week and I am almost to the edge of the pot

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

What do I do with my LST ties in flower?
I'm planning to switch to flower soon and I have been using LST on my plants. I know LST should continue for the first two weeks of flower, but what happens after that? Should the ties stay on, or can they come off? I trained the individual branches rather than the whole stem.
