LST with pegs/staples

started grow question 4y 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 🤙

Stop bending?
Should I stop bending the branches down now and gain height? Or should I keep it flat for a couple more nodes?

These plants are only 19 days from sprouting. Should I begin lst now? Appears they will be quite bushy. But never done last before. Thanks

Removal of fan leaves touching the medium
When performing LST, would you guys remove the fan leaves touching the medium or leave them on? I am just worried that they might catch mold due to the irrigation.

Whats up with the side branches? Shouldn't they be bigger and more developed? And btw, how does the LST look? Am I doing it right?

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🙏

Are my plants already starting to bloom or not?
I got 3 questions: 1) Do my plants actually bloom or not? 2) Do I need to add red light now? (For now I have 6 "cold" bulbs by 25 watts. Should I change all of them or just ad 2 for beginning?) 3) How can I boost stems growth or it's too late?

4 or 5 Plants - Setup: 80×80×180 Pods: 11L (25×25×26)
As you can see in the picture, we have 5 plants right now. We thought about removing one, and use scrog for the other. Do you have a recommendation for this case? Other ideas are also very welcome :) ✌️

3 NL Autos from ILGM all started at same time, but plant 2 received no training: did training DELAY or STUNT plants 1
Plant 1 has healthiest foliage but smallest buds. Plant 2 seems farthest along but stalling out. Plants 1 & 3 fattening. Just delayed? Seeing amber trichs here n there, but lots of clears/milky all over. Flush plant 2 for a week or two and harvest but let 1 & 3 go longer? THX!

So the plant stretched about 10-15 cm since flower. Is she gonna get much bigger ? I mean her conditions were pretty good, i trained her pretty good in my opinion, maybe she had a few days with less sun but i hope to get a good crop hehe Any tipps or comments? Thank you!

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

Bent stem LST
So I did LST but fucked up and bent the stem a little. Should I just let it heal by itself or should I do something? It's an automatic quick one Thanks

Continue tie-down or start using a scrog net
Since it seems like I can do LST for quite a while longer, and I do technically have a scrog net lying around;Would you guys continue with the tie-down method, or position a scrog net 5-10 cm over the current canopy and guide the plant through the net? Just don't wanna over do it
