You aren't even close to needing LST. It'll do more harm than good at this stage. You want some sort of a structure before even considering LST. You want a few sets of nodes 1st bro. Then depending on your strain. You wanna bring out the lower nodes as far as you can and tie them down so they have time to turn up into the light and then go up to the next set and set them a lil shorter so you make kinda an Xmas tree or bush, again depends on the strain. Indica is more bushy. And sativa is like an Xmas tree.
There really is no need to stress over something so small bro. lst is great and all. But you'll be surprised at how much you'll get away with it if you just let autos do their thing for the 1st couple of weeks and let them be. I've a good few diaries were I've done LST and some were I've berly touched (yet). But leave them be let them get around 15-20cm tall about 4-5 sets of nodes and then apply LST. Good luck pal

I think you're jumping the gun if you start LST right now... think about it when they've got 3 or 4, even 5 nodes and you know where you want growth to happen....
Good luck!

hey fellow farmer
Good News you got plenty of time you can LST thru veg and some during pre-flower and even early flowering. when you start seeing Pistils you can pretty much tell where your buds are going to be if you have to LST or arrange so those pistils are where they will get the most light. actually you may be a week or 2 away from being ready to LST in a week or so you can tell what direction your plant is going. keep an eye out for the stretch weeks 3-5 which is prime LST time
Good Luck My friend
may you clip your buds in amber trichomes

No, it's not too late, but tbh I would even say it's almost too early. The only thing you'd be training is the main stem right now since you have no shoots to start training out. You certainly could start now if you wanted to but you'll have to be really careful on the young plants - I personally would wait another week, maybe even two.

Early flower and plant too small?Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx?

Lower leaves too pale or yellowing?I am noticing the lower leaves of my Royal Critical Automatic to be much more pale green than the top of the plant.
Is this a nutrient/light/watering/lst stress problem if at all?

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

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)

ScrOG tucking: expose lower smaller bud sites by tucking/compacting main cola branches?For a better yield, should I aggressively (but gently) bend main leading branches and tuck all shading fans to expose young 'undergrowth' branches (circled) and bud sites to light, or, inversely, untuck fans and straighten leading branches to give more light energy to them?

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?
