Should I start LST?

JarJarGreensstarted grow question 3y ago

Any specific direction I should tie it? Also is my bottom leaf good? It seems to be shriveling a bit, but the plant has been growing despite it. I'm calling it day 18 from sprout. Thanks in advance for any advice. Blimburn blackberry auto.

High JarJarGreens, When you use LST the thing that you thry to achieve is bending branches down till all the branches reach the same height. You do this so that all the branches and buds gain the same amount of light from your lamp. I always like to look at my plant from above and from the sides to make a plan how can I let all the branches grow at the same height, gain the same amount of light and all grow big and equal main colas.

Well FML, pop goes the main stem.Trying to bend a little bit more, then that dreaded sound, "pop". Like snapping a fresh carrot it is the sound of heart break. The tie had likely weakened that part of the stem, shouldn't be so aggressive. Any suggestions on how to nurse this break and mend my broken heart?

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First Grow My plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

Twisting, yellowish, drooping leaves Soil: Nectar of the Gods (4shot) Nutes: Nectar of the gods (exact on my page) I'm almost positive I've been overwatering but what do I do now lol? How do I get my plants to perk up? Do I wait it out? I've also brought my light down 2 and a half feet due to stretching.

LST advise Just a quick question about my LST: By checking my last 3 photo uploads do you guys it’s working good? I’m not sure since it’s the first time growing and using LST. I’m quite confused with so many leafs popping up and I’m not sure what’s the next step. Just wait?
