LST Advice
SirBudstarted grow question 2 years ago
I plan to do some LST and wanted to do it simple like in the picture. But one of my plants is growing very bushy and dense and I'm concerned that I can't tie down the main stem. Is there any other easy way or should I not do LST at all?

I have done this style of LST before it works out ok. as the plant grows I keep pinning more and more of the new growth down.
In the end it looked like a sprial similar to that of a cinnamon bun. or this emoji if the plant is the pink part.🍥 its the fish cake emoji.
This is a quick read and will give you a bit of pointed on LST as well.

I agree with m0use here... just keep it simple! I use the LST clips and they're fantastic and super, SUPER simple.

You could also use some LST clips for something easier, they can be purchased off of amazon or ebay
Simple is best, don't over think it. Best way to learn is to do it.

How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

Did I start LST too early?At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

When to stop LST? (Auto)When should i stop horizontal LST and let her main branches to vertically? i'd say she's well into preflower with pistils popping up everywhere and the smell getting noticable. LST hasn't gone this well in my previous grows so i'm not sure where to end it.

Two phenos started flowering at 23 daysThey look just fine don't they? I mean a few top leaves have suffered some heat stress, and some leaves can seem a bit droopy for some reason (definitely not from overwatering). But the RH is only 30-35%, I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with that, lack of preferred RH.

I’m fairly new growing cannabis. I’ve always grown autos in organic soil. I’ve always used LST. My question. If space isn’t an issue, what benefits are there to LST? Is it worth the effort? I’m not
Referring to this grow just a general question.Week 2
