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 💪

You should start lst when the plant has 3 to 4 nodes if about don’t lst a overwatered/underwatered plant you want to train healthy plant especially autos can set them back happy growing

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

Cracked branch.
I was LST last night i cracked on of the main branches. It cracked at the base. It was only a small one it still could hold its own weight. But I tapes it up and staked it. My question is will it stress it out? I'm almost in week 6. I'd the plant gonna stop growing to heal?

LST or scrog?
As a first time grower, would you recommend traditional LST or a trellis net? I'm growing 3 plants in a 2x4 tent if that helps? Just wondering what the easiest and least prone to me screwing it up. Thanks in advance.
