Going into 3rd week strong. Should I start using LST at my friend or should I wait a few days? Where do I tie her from? I did not find any definite guide around.

to me personally if all stays in that size as question best actions would be just leaf tucking and exposing all branches, very evenly and nice growing girl some people with big training and defoliation ruins all possibilities. time will come, he will need to do some selective defoliation, some bottom clearing, but with some love that plant doesn't require any wire or rope even, would do seed sale cover photo even. At the moment top notch !

She's a good, strong looking plant but the nodes are pretty close to each other and I would wait until you get a little bit of a stretch from her... You could move your light up a couple, three inches to encourage that but when she goes into flower, that will start to happen naturally. For now, I'd just be tucking the large fan leaves under to expose bud sites - they may not STAY under but you can keep doing it... When she starts to stretch, you can do something simple like cutting some strips of a soft piece of cloth, loop it around the branch you want to train to grow away from the main stem and pin it to the side of your pot (it LOOKS like you're growing in fabric?) ... if the branches are pliable enough, you should be able to get them to point 90-degrees away from the main stem... it'll look terrible at first - LOL! - but after an hour or two, you'll see the end of those branches start growing back up straight toward the light.. The other thing you can consider a little bit in the future is some defoliation as she gets into flower. Those are some huge fan leaves and I think this would be a great plant to do that on... but it must be done cautiously and wisely. This article has become my "bible" as far as defoliation is concerned - it gives you the how, the when and the why and is definitely worth the read even if you decide you don't want to go this route: https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-super-simple-3-step-defoliation-tutorial Good luck - you've got a magnificent grow in the works!

@maxkolonko123 its easy to sort, the second link i gave, two variation of tree structure, both looked lanky and small still. One needed supercroping, ended up tidy evenish canopy. Friend was lazy, so dry amendments i put, he was watering pure water only, still almost 6 ounces each plant from auto. Could have almost a pound in total if would listen and do more. I let them grow and enjoy like people in chilhood, lst university for grown ups only ;))) I was forced by holidays to notice that way, but it did magic .

@AsNoriu At early days of grow in auto stems are nice and flexible so less possibility of snapping something, I never do extreme lst just trying to make sure canopy is even and I don't end up with Christmas style plant

Its very personal i guess to environment, but i grew in masses , mixxed strains, in far from professional environment, so could see paterns how plants generally behaved. Autos loves no harm policy till sertain level, i found my level in flower, despite everybody harming them in veg. I had almost 9 years to play, do mistakes and learn growing. Every plant is individual, but you can see paterns if you look.

From i gathered and read around you don't wanna stress autos to much in flowering stage, most of the training you wanna do in veg stage but looks like each forum has its own opinion 🤔

Yeah bro, that's an auto, in a 2x2 tent. I think I should wait a bit for the leaves to grow a bit longer and sturdier.

You wanna start asap there is plenty of decent tutorials how to do it, basically u wanna make sure you have even canopy so main steam you pull down obviously gently, and not to much at the time so it won't break, you can do topping too and then train her too, but like I said plenty of stuff on Google. Try to open her up as much as possible so light can reach lower stems too

If its auto i would say just tuck leaves and wait for third week of flower For big plant i do like this ( just skip transplanting ) growdiaries.com/diaries/129716-grow-journal-by-asnoriu/week/726812 For smaller i go like this, just in that way top cola of a runner girl was supercropped few weeks later, yours look bushy, so only leave tucking for exposure of other branch needed growdiaries.com/diaries/134304-grow-journal-by-asnoriu/week/745578 If its photo period its a lot bigger game and longer task, i personally played a lot in those two grows, if you scroll through week details, youll find a lot usefull tips growdiaries.com/diaries/27468-dr-krippling-incredible-bulk/week/129882 growdiaries.com/diaries/52015-royal-gorilla-royal-cookies-grow-journal-by-asnoriu/week/260585
