m0useanswered grow question 3 years ago

That's a great start TBH. When I first tried LST I kept twisting the plant around in a spiral. I would then pinch off the two new stems once they got three nodes high from the spiral. So for ever node in the pinned spiral I would have 4 stalks. 7 nodes at 4 stalks each = 28 mini cola branches. It was far from perfect but was fun. Later on I tried doing it so the main stem of the plant was my centre point for the LST. This tactic seems to work a bit better and all the growth is more even. Experiment and find out what works best for you Happy Growning!

LST timing I just topped my plant today, repotted and fertilized. How do I know when It’s time to start LST? Obviously I wanna give her like 5 days to recover and get used to her new pot, but I really want to maximize this yield. Thanks!!’

LST and questions in week 4 comment I tried lst on the tallest one, I felt a rip maybe roots? Anchored and bent a little. Gorilla I tied a few branches down to let some light underneath was it worth? Good experience none the less. I also have couple questions in week 4 comment. Really loving my first Grow so far :)

LST during flowering?Hey all, do you keep adjusting and opening up the plant throughout flowering to improve light and air penetration into the canopy? She's getting further along flowering and I don't want to negatively impact it but the branches were so tight they weren't drying after rain.
