This is my first grow but i know some basics about plants - but my question is: when is the right time for LST. And for LST: i did build myself a Trellis net - should i use it? My plant is now 15 days old and growing pretty fast and healthy.

You can start the LST now - just use something soft like a soft garden plant tie or a pipe cleaner - something that is bendable and can be used like a garden staple. Just lay the plant over as far as you can without breaking her stem ... this will expose the bud sites to full light and allow them to grow as colas. You can do this multiple times... some folks keep doing it so the plant is in a circle. As far as the netting goes, when the plant goes into flower - perhaps 2 weeks into flower, you can use that netting to separate out the colas and keep them even in height... it's called scrogging. This article is a great one to read for both LSTing and SCROGging autoflowers... https://2fast4buds.com/news/when-to-start-low-stress-training-your-autoflower Good luck!

Hi there You can start now if you wanted .. Try and aim to get all the branches the same level/height that way you have even energy focusing on top buds 👍 Best of luck 🌱

It's old enough to LST whenever you're ready to start. A net helps train, but with autos, I don't know if it is necessary. You could just use weighted clips or unravel a paper clip and hang one end from a branch and attach the other end to something that will pull the branch down as far as you want it. Good luck!
