You can probably start now, but unless you're spiraling it or doing something else to keep it low, then you can probably give it another week. Cheers, and happy growing!

To LST or not to LST ( from the windowsill)
I'm thinking of doing LST on the plants but not sure if it's a good idea because they already bending like crazy trying to get the little sun there is lately standing on the windowsill. Any advice would be appreciated! 👽

It looks like my plant is dieing! Plants turning brown after intense watering period
Did I drown my plant? Stress it? I gave a lot of water in a short duration of time, and now 7 days later she is looking terrible! Read my diary on week 17 for more info!

How to save a broken branch?
I shook the pot's stand, and 1 wire dropped to the ground and broke a branch. It looks nice and if prop up it - can't even see the breakpoint. What should I do to increase the chances that the branch will grow back? The Red line marks where it was broken (the 2nd layer).

whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer
Hey everyone,. I need your opinions on whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer. I think I may have trimmed the main stem too much to the side, and I'm a bit worried. The pictures and the video is in my diary if you have a look I'd be glad

LST bij zaailing
Ben vandaag gestart met LST bij mijn fotoperiode van 24 dagen oud, die zonder training echt de hoogte in zou gaan. Ik hou van zo vroeg mogelijk starten met LST en de plant laag leggen. Nog kwekers die het zo doen? Alle tips welkom😁

LST - Am I going to hard? -/- Harvest - What to expect?
Am I going to hard with the LST? Is it okay do make small adjustments every day or two? What do you think about the progress so far? I'm really wondering what harvest I can expect. Is it realistic to expect something between 20-40g per plant? Thanks everyone for taking the time

To LST or No LST?
Does practicing LST on autoflowers actually increase your yield? I ask this because I look at people who grow without any training at all and they seem to have way more bud sites. I prefer an answer from someone who has experience growing both ways. Thanks
