It’ll be fine man relax, you’ll have plenty of branches to come. The plant will be fine I’ve snapped a few off and those plants came back stronger and bigger than some perfectly intact plants

Low plant LST - possibly stunted
Does anyone have any opinions regarding the LST being that low? PAR is around 635 with a DLI of 46 at the tallest cola. pH is quite constant between 6.2-6.5 with very little nutrients given so far.

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?
I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think. I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

Is that LST correct? (senna auto)
My plant is 25 days old today, yesterday I did an LST, today it has adjusted and rearranged upwards again. I pulled the wire a little more, I want you to judge if this is correct or if I can adapt something better? (OBS: It's a Senna AUTO)

Lst advise
@Fast_Buds, please could you advise if I should keep tying down side branches and training my autos seeing that they have started to show pre-flowering signs? I did some LsT last night and noticed they have just started to show pre-flower signs… is it best to leave them now?

Improving LST in textil pots ?
Do you have any advice for me for my LST? Because I am in a textile pot and it is not very practical to make hanging points ... I try to make it turn in a "spiral" to maximize the space.

Thoughts?
Should I be concerned or do something differently? The plants all seem to be very small height wise, but otherwise doing well.

Any of the gurus of LST, main lining and other grow techiques willing to share an idea how to further improve the plants behavior. 🙂 I intend to further remove branches and leave only one at each of the nodes where there are two, make the canopy wide and airy. +root cut branches
