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.

Is it time for LST?
Do you think I should start LST for ALH girls or wait a while? Friends who do the same Grow usually continue by doing LST on the 3rd and 5th weeks. I would be glad if you examine the photos below and enlighten me on this subject.

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
