Tieing down colas

Padrino
Padrinostarted grow question 2 years ago
Should I tie down the main colas on these girls to get a more even spread to or just keep letting them do their thing since they are growing into monsters and looking pretty even. Is it to late to tie down the main cola as well will this stress thre out during her stretch phase?

The less stress the better with auto's. You want them to have a nice long strong veg and by training them you can accidentally put them into early bloom or stunt they're growth. I recommend you let them do they're thing and they look great btw. Hope this helps.

You can safely and stress free tie down/LST your plants up until about the second or third week of flowering without any adverse effects.

As long as flowering hasn't started you are still in time for LST. If I were you I would use a scrog net because it is really easy to work with. Letting it grow isn't a bad idea either but the main cola will be predominantly better than the others wince you will have to increase the height of your light

io ti consiglio di lasciare stare sono un po' troppo avanti avresti dovuto iniziare prima,con questo non voglio dire che non si puo' fare la cosa che invece puoi fare tranquillamente è allargare i rami cosi da avere le cime laterali ben irradiate dalla luce e aumenti la circolazione d'aria basta del filo di ferro gommato(ricoperto con la gomma per non rovinare niente

If you want a more even canopy and more colas to come to the top (and get fatter later on) then tie her down. She'll be wider and bushier for it, so just be wary of the available space. Remember they'll stretch when you flip to 12/12, so be prepared for even more growth at that stage! I advise to stop LST no later than 2 weeks after you flip to 12/12, otherwise they might not recover as you'd hope once they start flowering. Good luck!
