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.

Wait for a few sets of nodes before you start. Your a good 2 week away really.

Плохой старт
It's interesting to find out. The way I messed with the little one and extended the veg stage will affect the quality and quantity of the final product. It seems like I ended up with a photoperiod specimen contrary to my expectations. The parents were two autos and a photoperiod AK-47 dad.

LST method, topping and switching to flower!
Please look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going good so far but think I need to wait a little longer before topping? Anyone have a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower, am I rushing things🙏

Is it worth lst autos outdoor/greenhouse?
I have seen loads of lst pics and videos on auto grown indoor but can it be done when growing outside as its will already be under stress from the variable factors growing outside/greenhouse. Worse one being pests!

LST - am I doing it right?
I figured I could try training my plant by LST and since I am very new to this and generally don't want to kill my ladies could you please comment on the way I have done it? Plants held with plastic coated paper clips, because I am lazy but creative :) Also is it safe?

Beginner worried she started LST on auto too soon.
Question about LST autos (see photos). I read LST should start early with autos, but I am worried I might be starting too soon. I started with plant 3, but it just flopped right over (I didn't have to pull it), so I stopped. Is this ok, or should I wait? The others?

When to stop LST? (Auto)
When should i stop horizontal LST and let her main branches to vertically? i'd say she's well into preflower with pistils popping up everywhere and the smell getting noticable. LST hasn't gone this well in my previous grows so i'm not sure where to end it.

LST and defoliation
I am trying lst on 2 plants (not in a diary). In week 2, I pinned the main stem down. In week 3 did it again so the main stem is laying flat. Lots of foliage. Should I be removing any leaves yet? And if so which ones?

LST during flower?
LST during flower? I'm pretty happy with the size and shape of them, except PPP3! However I'm not sure if I should continue to keep them as short as possible, or let them just grow up now. I've never used LST before, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
