Wait until you’ve 3-5 node and you know you’ve got a good root system. Stronger your roots, quicker the recovery. Good luck bro 💪

Wait until you have about 3-5 nodes, and a good 6” of height. Too early and you may uproot them.

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?

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

Bending branch
I decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

Too many buds because of LST? A yield full of popcorn buds??
Should I cut off more buds to get a higher yield? I am afraid, that she will develope too many popcorn buds. Or is she looking allright and I can get a good yield without stressing her any more? (She is in her third flowering week)

How and when to train?
Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

LST and Autoflowers
Was wondering when doing LST with these autos if I should untie them at any point? Stop forming them at any point? Stay on it until they are done? I have been going in and kinda re-rigging them every few days but just wondering when to call it a day? Thanks guys!

Switching to flowering nutrients (autoflower)
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to when I should start switching these critical purple autoflowers to flowering nutes? As I understand it should be a few weeks after preflowers start? Hard to tell when vertical growth slows when doing LST. This is my first grow ever!

Disaster! LST rips off entire growth tip after first topping! Any advice?
Hi all, I adjusted LST tension this morning and the entire growth tip snapped off. It was too small/fragile to tape so I put in rooting hormone solution and tried making a clone. What should I do with this plant now? Feeling discouraged.

Hi. I just randomly tied my plants down and it came to this. Can it be useful and is it ok in some way or did I just wasted my time and done something detrimental for them? It seems to me that they are doing ok, and the lower sites are getting better light. I also tilted the LED
