that trellis net is something known as SCROG net or SCReen Of Green net. Similar but different from SOG Sea Of Green. You use a SCROG net later on in veg/pre flower. here are some easy read links about the techniques. growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-grow-cannabis-with-screen-of-green-scrog growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-grow-cannabis-with-sea-of-green-sog LST is low stress training and can be used in conjunction with the methods listed above, can be used earlier as well. growdiaries.com/journal/how-to-do-low-stress-training-lst-on-cannabis-plants I start to LST aorund the 3rd-5th node. If your new to growing ignore the SCROG net and just try some LST. Good Luck!

Low stress training does not use a net. For LST use ties to bend the plant. Use a old soldering iron or heat a nail in a flame and melt a series of holes around the top of your pots. Then you can tie your branches down to the holes. A benefit of not using a net is you can move & rotate your plants in the tent and you can remove them for inspection. It is also a lot easier to water the rear plants without a net blocking access. As for when to start... you need enough plant to train. If training your main stalk I like to let it get at least 3-5 cm (2 or 3") of straight, vertical stem before training the stalk above to grow horizontally. You can start training the branches when you have branches long enough to train. Wires are best because you will need to adjust your ties as the branches grow longer.

I did a diary called Larry lemon og. I did a daily picture. I also included after lst daily picture when I started. The auto produced a quarter lb of dry bud. Plants don't need nutrients if in coco till day 7 and super light. Soil is good till 2 to 4 weeks roughly depending on how hot it is and how well plant roots.
