I like to wait for the third week or 3-5th node like stated below. Have also grown like suggested with keeping it low to the ground and it also worked. try something and see what works best for you. Be gentle and go slow. no one needs a snapped branch. Good Luck!

I start training between day 14 to 21. I lay my plants totally down as well. You can start training early as long as your getting proper light.

A partir del tercer nodo ya debería ser lo suficientemente resistente para iniciar con el entrenamiento. 👍🏻

Please help with LST on Seedsman Auto Lemon She grows very squat and bushy. 3 weeks and only 13cm high. Big fan leaves cover many branches and grow nodes completely. Not sure what to do with her. Is it a good idea to bend the main stem 90 degrees? Or just tie the side branches to the edges of the pot + make defoliation?

1st go at scrog. Any particular way to LST you guys can recommend?Hi folks. First time going for scrog, ladies on day 18 with interesting node spacing. When do you guys reckon i should start with lst in preparation for them approaching the net? Also, where is the best starting point for that, so i just bend the main stem sideways and tie it?

Topping or LST after 1st topping Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?

It looks like my plant is dieing! Plants turning brown after intense watering period Did I drown my plant? Stress it? I gave a lot of water in a short duration of time, and now 7 days later she is looking terrible! Read my diary on week 17 for more info!

What are my chances of a cutting that was only meant to be stretched with LST, string surviving without any root products. Its placed directly into a grow cube, with water and then the mini greenhouse. I have a perfect LED grow light gently willing it on. WILL IT SURVIVE???

ScroG Autoflower Would the ScroG method even be worth it for fast Autoflowers like Dark Devil Auto from sweet seeds for example? Or would LST be enough without it making much of a difference?

LST Advice I plan to do some LST and wanted to do it simple like in the picture. But one of my plants is growing very bushy and dense and I'm concerned that I can't tie down the main stem. Is there any other easy way or should I not do LST at all?
