Good Luck!

Looks fine to me I have done a Jack herer this same way if you would like to look and my grow it is currently early flower stage. I would wait a week longer next time before starting the lean on mine next time to add some ability to flex without stunting.

Yes that looks right, the idea of LST is to bend and train so that other stems are equal to the center stems. Topping at 3-5 node is recommended for photos. I don’t personally recommend topping autos

LST during flower?LST during flower?
I'm pretty happy with the size and shape of them, except PPP3! However I'm not sure if I should continue to keep them as short as possible, or let them just grow up now.
I've never used LST before, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Week 9

LST possible?Is it possible or even beneficial to do some lst on them?
The internode space is very tight and the stems are not flexible, plus they started preflower.
They are 4 week old autoflowers and I feel like the lower leaves don't get enough light.Techniques. LST

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).6 months ago

Enough LST for an autoflower?I was wondering how much LST and how intense the LST on an auto should be? I heard you shouldn't stress autos too much, that's why I'm extra careful and wanted to ask. (And yes I know it's overwatered, I'm letting it dry out at the moment)Techniques. LST

Early flower and plant too small?Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx?

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant.
Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all?

ScrOG tucking: expose lower smaller bud sites by tucking/compacting main cola branches?For a better yield, should I aggressively (but gently) bend main leading branches and tuck all shading fans to expose young 'undergrowth' branches (circled) and bud sites to light, or, inversely, untuck fans and straighten leading branches to give more light energy to them?6 months ago

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?6 months ago
