To LST or not to LST … that is the question
TheProfessorGrowsstarted grow question 2 years ago
Should I LST?? I’m growing ILGM OG Kush auto flower. I know I probably should, but part of me wants to just let her rip and see what happens all natural. However I’m in a small tent (18x18x56) and the website says the plants usual height is about 40 inches. What would you do?

I believe your Light distance for flower is 14". So pending how the plant reacts your looking at 10-18" away from the canopy. Add in the height of your pot guessing 8"? That gives you 30-38" plant. And that's considering your light is mounted to the top of your tent.
Training is definitely recommend.

There’s no training you MUST do.
I’d be weary of ILGMs estimation.. they’ve been way off on both sides of things in my experience..
If part of you wants to see how things grow naturally without training.. do it man. Worst case you can super crop last minute to keep it within the size you need..

Lst I have same height restrictions. You plant will get too close to light if it gets big. All depends on what it is growing in.

If you have more seeds of that particular autoflower, let 'er rip! It will help you out a lot on your next run of that cultivar, so i say do what you want.

You MUST do LST (and defolation as well) especially if you have a small GrowBox. If you leave her to grow wild you will get a jungle in your box in about 5-6 weeks. Have a nice grow ! Good Luck 💪🙌

How and when to train?Hi,
first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Too many buds because of LST? A yield full of popcorn buds??Should I cut off more buds to get a higher yield? I am afraid, that she will develope too many popcorn buds. Or is she looking allright and I can get a good yield without stressing her any more?
(She is in her third flowering week)

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longerHey everyone,. I need your opinions on whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer. I think I may have trimmed the main stem too much to the side, and I'm a bit worried. The pictures and the video is in my diary if you have a look I'd be glad

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?
