I try and do a little bit everyday. Sometimes I'll leave it a day inbetween depending if she looks like I'm stressed her.

How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?
Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

Will the branch recover from a crack?
Accidentaly cracked one branch during the LST. Should I let it as it is and wait for it to recover, or should I remove the branch completely? She is an autoflower Royal Bluematic in the 3rd week of veg. Thanks for the tips :)

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?

I snapped the main stem during LST by accident
Do you guys think my plant will recover with the main stem break? Details are in the journal but basically it completely snapped, was hanging by a thread of fibre. I used some allow and ducting tap that came with my exhaust.

Lst and pk
I think it will be the last question, I’m questionning myself on lst and pk. I know lst doesn’t harm the plant but did I lst too much so that will answer to the question that they’re so f*ing slow or I’m just paranoid. Can I pk from week 2-3 to the last 10 days from harvest ?

Should I be starting LST. Been bending to get it used to it but not tied yet
I feel like the topic is very controversial about when to start LST. Some say 3 nodes some say 6. Attached is a picture of my biggest girl so far. Lots of new growth this week so far but not the tallest yet. Open to hearing from the grow community thanks

autos growing too tall?
First time grower, 5 plants (autos) just over 5 weeks from germination in greenhouse (50-60cm in height), wondering if they are growing too tall and if it is too late to either top or carry out some low stress training at this stage? Any other advice welcome. Thank you all

LST on good track?
Hi, first time LST, can someone tell me if I’m doing it correctly, maybe must wait some days, it stressed a bit but is recovering. Think I’m doing k, next time find a kind of grid or so and place it to help me tie branches. Much obliged. 😀

Weitere Pflege und Training
Es wird immer mehr Blattmasse. Was kann bzw. darf bzw. sollte ich abschneiden? Darf ich LST noch weitermachen und die Triebe noch in die "richtige" Richtung leiten? Ab wann sollte ich den Blüte-Dünger verwenden? Vielen Dank schon mal für eure Antworten. Ich liebe diese Community
