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. 👍🏻

LST or defoliation on autos
I think I will need to defoliate a bit those bushy ladies, but I am not so confident about that because, from what I've read and since it's my first time growing autos, defoliation or lst is not advisable because it may stress them a looooot or am I wrong?

Advice?
Done with LST. I added a little overdrive.. just so anxious. My plants seem in line with pics from other Growers diaries. Any advice appreciated. Sometimes I’m afraid I overdo it with early topping and I did a lot of lst on these. I’m new at this. Thanks for reading! 🌱

Bent stem LST
So I did LST but fucked up and bent the stem a little. Should I just let it heal by itself or should I do something? It's an automatic quick one Thanks

Lst and pk
I think it will be the last question, I’m questionning myself on lst and pk. I know lst doesn’t harm the plant but did I lst too much so that will answer to the question that they’re so f*ing slow or I’m just paranoid. Can I pk from week 2-3 to the last 10 days from harvest ?

LST timing
Did I LST too early? She developed tiny shoots so wanted to give them more light, but now feel like I should have waited till she was a bit taller and stronger. Gonna leave her for a couple days and see

First time LST
First time trying LST. I have very limited space and my plant is getting bushy, so I used garden wire + clips to bend her down (see pics). Not sure if I did it right. Any tips or corrections are welcome!

Remove or tie down fan leaves?
Hi guys, what's the better option, removing big ass fan leaves to give bud nodes more exposure to light or tie fan leaves down? I tied a few down but don't know if that's a good idea. Help is greatly appreciated ;)

Continue tie-down or start using a scrog net
Since it seems like I can do LST for quite a while longer, and I do technically have a scrog net lying around;Would you guys continue with the tie-down method, or position a scrog net 5-10 cm over the current canopy and guide the plant through the net? Just don't wanna over do it

She's getting too tall!
2x2x4 tent, flipped to 12/12 A week ago, and removed my LST plant ties at the same time to make watering easier. She's getting tall though, and now I'm thinking of putting the ties back on. Will that even help? Should I try something else? the pics are about 1 week apart
