How long LST?
GrowingGrannieanswered grow question 3 years ago
LST can really be done any time it's needed - the exception being if they're too young (i.e., before they have 3-4 nodes). I've had to do LST on my Tangerine Dream as late as 3 weeks before harvest! She was going to tear therough the top of my tent if I hadn't!
When the LST has been in place for a while (couple of weeks?), it will become permanent and you can release it and use the material (whatever you've used) to use it elsewhere...
Nice job, btw... the grow looks fab!

LST can be utilized through the whole grow. Since it has a low stress on the plant.
The current point your at you will be doing minor adjustments to keep each bud site as level as possible.
If anything try to keep the outer sides slightly higher then the center since most lights will have a higher par value.

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!

When stop LST?First time grower here. Have been doing LST, and it seems to work well. I've just spotted pistols, so she is starting to flower now. So my question is, should I stop LST? Should I remove the (padded) wires? Or, when do I stop? Or should I keep LST until I harvest the flowers?Techniques. LST

LSTIs it possible to use the lst method for an autoflowering plant, every time I see that you can bend and fix a branch under the lamp?
I'm worried that it will be extra stressful for it, but I also don't want it to be too tall.
When is it advisable to stop bending?Week 5
