The lst looks well done, but what could be improved is to add a tie to the central stem as a support, so that the roots do not rise and not force the seedling so much. Happy growing mate 👨🌾🏻🤝

Looks good. I just try to keep the plant growing horizontal till it starts to flower. Then let it rise up.

Hey! When should LST be stopped? Currently day 32, pistils all over, she’s been loving the lst and defoliation so far, my only concern is doing to much LST and preventing the stretch from happening, any advice is appreciated! Many thanks!

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!

Low plant LST - possibly stunted
Does anyone have any opinions regarding the LST being that low? PAR is around 635 with a DLI of 46 at the tallest cola. pH is quite constant between 6.2-6.5 with very little nutrients given so far.

should I do an LST in a 4-5 days? And maybe some tips. Last time I anchored the plant from the bottom so that the roots wouldn't come out of the ground from below and the stem wouldn't bend so much, and then pulled the stem over the top, is this correct?

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?

LST correct?
Another week, another question lol eh knowledge is power 😝 Just want my first grow to be a success 🤞 Am I doing LST correctly? I've tied it down near the top of the main stem. Should I be tying the smaller stems too, to separate the canopy more?
