Hey man usually start to train once they have 4-5 nodes and they will be fine ✌️✌️🌱

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. 👍🏻

Training Plants to early ?
I have 1 plant that towers above the others, should I already tie it down with LST? Should I bend the whole plant or the shoots? or is that too early for the plant on DAY 14?

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)

Can i try LST or are they too stumpy?
looking to start LST but my plants don't have much spacing in between nodes height wise, and lots of nodes.. is it too late to try and start or would it be a bad idea due to there not being much room for new branches to then form once tied down? sorry for noob questions!

General feedback
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, to me the plant looks healthy, however it is a bit small considering it’s age, right? I’m thinking it may be because of the cheap ‘300W’ light I was using at the beginning of the grow. What do you guys think? (Video end of week 6)

Is this LST I made okay for now?
My seedling is 11 days old, with an iron U-shaped stake I bent the plant as you can see in the photo, did I do well? (it's the first time I do LST) if everything is ok, now how should I proceed?

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? First Grow. Started balcony, moved to tent D23. SF-1000 light, 100% at ~ 55cm from canopy.

Plants growing at different rates
I have 4 different Sativas on the go - 2 of them are really stretching tall, and I'm having to really train them hard to keep them relatively the same height as the other 2. How best to handle plants of the differing heights and grow rates in a 4x4 tent?

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?

This is my first experience growing indoors and also growing autos. Do you guys think the Northern Lights will survive ? It will recover in some way (I don't care about lower shields) ? Or should I just end it and focus on the other two plants ? BTW, this community is amazing
