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

When to stop tucking under the net?
My autos are now in the beginning of week 5 and have already made quite a stretch during week 4. My question is what a good indicator for stopping would be or the perfect moment basically.

Need tips/help with very very bushy plant
Potted for almost 6 weeks, grows super super bushy (already has 12 branches (6 nodes?), branches are so short that I can't even LST them. I guess she grows like that because of her genetics but maybe there's a way how to 'fix' her? Topped once, strain RQS Triple G

When to stop LST with autos? I have no experience... they are in week 4 now and it seems like they have started to pre-flower. Should I continue LST throughout week 4 or rather stop and let the plants do their thing?

Snapped a branch. How worried should I be?
Snapped the main stem during LST, right below the main cola on SLH(just starting flower). Braced it with ducktape and propped it with some bamboo. At this point, everything else looks fine, so I'm just pretending it's not there. How worried should I be? Anything else I should do?

More lst?
On lemon 2 should I perform more lst? I looked at bending down what branches I'd be able to and it didn't make too much of a difference in regarding to how bushy she is and also the branches are starting to get quite rigid now. Thanks.

Is this the LST everybody is talking about?
Everybody: Stress the plants as little as possible. Me: Proceed to drop a 110lbs maple tree on them.

Grow help and advice
Hey guys little help. Need an opinion on how my plants are looking. I’ve successfully LST the one but left the other. Both are topped under 18/6 light. Watering .75 L with bio buzz grow and add bloom and top max every other watering. Also does this look like flowering ? THANKS

What is a good method of training for increasing pistol site development and bud growth. I'm currently doing LST and just tucking fan leaves out if the way if developing sites. Is it okay to remove leaves at this point blocking sites? Should I wait till flowering and just tuck?

Best way to train?
Am I best to bend the main and train horizontally or is it better to pull the leaves down and let branches grow up that way?

How to do LST when flowering has begun?
The plants keep stretching even 3 weks after the flip and it will grow in to the light when the flowers start to beef up, what would be the best way to do some lst without snapping the hard branches

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!
