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. 👍🏻

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?

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?

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)

To LST or not to LST?
I have 2 healthy Automaria II, paradise seeds, 3 weeks after germination and 16 cm tall, on the balcony and I am tempted to bend one of them and practice some LST of FIMming to see the difference. I don’t know.. I don’t want to risk the final harvest quantity.. Any advise?

Day 19 pre-flower and stunted growth?
Hi folks, I did a bit of LST on my auto a few days ago, then noticed stamens the following day and it seems that growth has slowed. She's day 19 (post sprouting). Does everything look ok?
