Tool fan? Or just a tool? Or both? I’d let things stretch just a bit personally to get a bit easier leverage. But by all means if you can get part/all of it horizontal without any contact with the soil - you’re good.

En mi diario puedes ver y tener algo como referencia! Yo te sugiero que lo hagas lo antes posible antes que el tallo se haga grueso y difícil de doblar!

Have I ruined it?Is this plant saveable? I’ve completely snapped the main stem while doing LST. I’ve put a small stake in the stem to hold it together and taped in up. Is she likely to recover or should I just start again?

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)

LST Good day! I have a question for experienced growers who've used LST. The stem usually branches out to 2 branches, one of which is just one big leaf and the other branch has nodes & other branches. Do you put the branch with the big leaf below the rest, above or prune it? Thx!

Grow method advice I want to grow plants tall however considered doing LST. Any suggestions on growing techniques here, maybe topping instead? If i do LST does that mean they wont grow up tall? Was thinking of doing different methods but want them all to be the same height. Also want good yield.

Spiral LST vs Topdressing/mulch Spiral LST vs topdressing/mulch.. I planned on training like shown in picture, just not sure how this will work out with 1" of mulch and a monthly topdressing with all the pegs/wires, might get tricky. Thought about bending all sec branches to the outside vs 1out 1in?? Cheers
