Late LST on Autos?
Kannamar
started grow question 5y 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.

Info about frequency of LST/SCROG the main stem
Should I keep bending my auto’s main stem back under the SCROG net daily if it keeps straightening? It’s Week 3, I'm going straight with SCROG. Worried about stress, I have to wait a few days between adjustments or keep tucking daily?

LST Defo = This?
It's my first time doing LST and defoliation. And even after many years growing outdoors and reading so much, still would like to hear second opinions to make sure I'm doing it 'right'. She's fed right after training and defoliation to help recover. Opinions? Thanks

Does my autoflowering plant look okay after topping
I did topping on week #3 and have been doing LST during the last 4 days. I feel I over-stressed the plant. Seems like it's to small for it's age. Please take a look at the photos I have attached and say: Does my plant look okay as for a middle of the 4th week of vegetation?😐
