When to stop LST with autos? I have no experience....

Salokinstarted grow question 3 years ago

When to stop LST with autos? I have no experience... they are in week 4 now and it seems like they have started to pre-flower. Should I continue LST throughout week 4 or rather stop and let the plants do their thing?

Because the plants will double or tripple in size during the pre flower stretch, the LST can be done all the way through to maintain an even canopy. Just do a bit at a time. Probably by week 8 you will have stopped Lst.

LST as the name indicates is LOW Stress Test, you can even do LST until the last week, dont be scared to guide your plant in whatever directions you want, just be sure to be careful and dont break any branches 😁🌱👍

By flowering I have 90% of my LST training completed. With the spurt of growth that comes with flowering (stretch) you might want to do a bit more but the bulk of training should be done by this point because the main stem and base portion of the branches are getting stiff and woody and don't accept bending very well. In flower you can do some minor adjustments but go easy so you don't break a branch.

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

SNAPPED MAIN STEM HALF WAY DURING WEEK 5 (still in Veg)During LST I snapped the main stem of one of my Pineapple Express Autos. It very easily snapped almost completely off but it still has a few fibres left. I panicked &used duct tape and some sticks to keep it supported. Has anyone done this before? Is it successful? Yields effect?

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think. I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

Should i take off the hooks (LST)Someone here told me that it is not fair to lay the girls on the ground as i did, because the leaves touches the soil. Should i set them free to go up and continue the LST once the plant is some centimetres up? Or should i leave it like this and keep going? I dunno what to do.

LST or defoliation on autos I think I will need to defoliate a bit those bushy ladies, but I am not so confident about that because, from what I've read and since it's my first time growing autos, defoliation or lst is not advisable because it may stress them a looooot or am I wrong?
