started grow question 5y ago
Does LST with galvanised pegs (rounded edges) damage the root system? Is what I have done here OK? Comments appreciated

Don't worry about them dude. Lots of us use them or poke other things in our medium to train plants.

I do what you’re doing and I don’t stress with it. Poking a few roots as you push into the soil isn’t really detrimental. Exactly like Mickey said. It looks good. Cheers 🤙

Is my plant ready for LST?
I'm thinking of staring LST with this plant but I'm not sure if it's time already. What signs should I pay attention to determine its readiness?

More or Less nutes and Molasses?
My first time grow and my autos are in flowering. I’ve been giving them grandmas molasses (half teaspn/1gal) every feeding along with her other nutes. She’s been taking them well, should I up the dose? Or feed every other watering?

LST : now or later ?
Hi guys ! I'd like to try LST on these sisters. Just wondering, looking at the latest photos do you think they're tall enough ? Or should I wait a bit more ? Also in which direction should I tie them down to maximize yield ? Thank you in advance ! 🍃☀️

General questions about my grow
Based on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.

To train or not to train?
Should I start training these girls? 20 gallon pot. Gnome genetics (Anvil) my first with this strain and this large of a pot. They’re about 5” tall and very bushy. To train or not to train, that is the question?)

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?
I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?

So we are at 4.5 weeks standing about 6.5 inches. Is it to early to start training? This is a strictly outdoor grow so mother nature is in complete control of lighting. Sun up 6am sun down @ 10pm roughly. Temps range anywhere from 75°-95° F daily & 65 -75 @ night humidity 70-90%

LST/Topping for autoflowers?
Growing an afghan kush auto and a skunk villain auto (both 5 gal pots) in a snug 2.5 x 2.5. Wanting a uniform height I wasn't sure if I should top and/or train either- was thinking LST for the Skunk? Would also like to keep height mod. without sacrificing too much on the harvest.

Grow help and advice
Hey guys little help. Need an opinion on how my plants are looking. I’ve successfully LST the one but left the other. Both are topped under 18/6 light. Watering .75 L with bio buzz grow and add bloom and top max every other watering. Also does this look like flowering ? THANKS

LST after Topping
When would you start doing LST after doing a topping? I have topped about 3 days ago now, and have good growth from the new sites, about 1/2 inch of stock coming from the tops. Worried if I LST a little too early those new tops might not be grown enough yet!
