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!

What about poneytailing leaves for better sun penetration instead of trimming them ? (kinky post)It probably exists but I've never seen it. I poneytailed leaves instead of defoliating them, since it's their ultimate food suppply. Mostly the big ones not near the buds, can I do that on the main bud leaves ? Anyone uses this technique ? Is that a bad idea ? Did I over do it ?Week 7

LST and ScrOGHi, I'm a beginner grower, I only used LST once in my past diary and didn't master it all the way.
I'm growing in hydro and the container I'm growing in makes LST a little difficult for me.
My plant is auto .Can I start with LST and then switch to ScrOG for easier manipulation?Techniques. LST

Greenhouse growing questionsIs there any best parameters for growing in a greenhouse? Humidity? Temps? Also I am trying to grow my plants as bushy and tall as possible. I am using LST methods is there any way to defoliate that will increase the plants height?
Thanks and Many blessingsWeek 3

Info about frequency of LST/SCROG the main stemShould I keep bending my auto’s main stem back under the SCROG net daily if it keeps straightening? It’s Week 3, I'm going straight with SCROG. Worried about stress, I have to wait a few days between adjustments or keep tucking daily?Setup. Strain - Autoflowering
