Late LST on Autos?
Kannamar
started grow question 4y ago
As plants were small we didn't do the LST technique. Is it possible to bend them now? Is it worth?

What would you be trying to achieve? If height is an issue (not likely given the picture) then yes. If you are trying to get more tops, no it won't give you heavier yields at this point. Just let them be.

Yes bend them or lean them as much as you can trim foliage on light side up. That is if they are not woody yet. They appear to just be stretching. 🌱

You could, but in reality, no, it is not worth it now, just let them flower in peace.

Goldleaf grow is taking foreverrrrr
This plant is going on 13 weeks without a flower bud in site. And it seems really lime green? and a lot of purple stems? I'm not sure if something is wrong ugh. These re ILGM autos in 82F/RH 35%. I know below 80 is ideal, but I'm having difficulty keeping the temps down.

When to start LST?
Hey Growers, I'm a few weeks into my first grow and I'm keen to try some LST. Is it too early to start training them? Also, they're a short strain so should I even bother training them at all? Appreciate any advice. Thanks K

lst technique
I used the LST technique three days ago. Do you think that I did this job correctly and what is the next move to continue training? The plants are now at the beginning of week 4. Do you think they are growing enough or are they behind? thanks

It's Day 20 and Double Grape #1 has begun to flower. Could this be a stress reaction from LST? And does this mean she is doomed to be a low yielder as she hasn't developed cola's or bud sites? Is she now limited in potential?
