Week 3

Techniques. Defoliation

Master_weedaanswered grow question 5 years ago

Hello dear friend with flexible plants that are still vegetatively growing. Stems and shoots tend to harden and become thicker as flowering progresses. This makes the LST risky. However, sometimes as they say: to great evils, great remedies.👍 The LST is the last preferable option. It is better to bend the heads away from the crop lamps to avoid any possible late bloom burns. But be careful, using the LST after the first 3 weeks of flowering can cause more breakage than bending of the plant. If you happen to break a branch, do not panic! Repair the wound with chatterton.👍 Most growers who plan to do LST for maximum yields start as soon as possible. American growers prefer the LST method in 4 points. This requires pinching the top of the plant of its baby branches and then folding back the two new shoots and the two secondary lower shoots that will eventually form a bush of cannabis. This is a mix of topping and LST that can later be woven into a ScrOG. A longer phase of vegetative growth will be necessary to facilitate the mixing of these two methods. May the force be with you 💪 Good luck for your grow bro😉

Hello Vincent11, your girls are looking good man. I would recommend to always try to bend a little where is possible. Of course when your in full flower its very hard because the branches arent that flexible anymore. Thats no problem, just be very carefull not to break any branches and handle it with extra care. It will still make your branches extra thick and that means thicker buds to. In week 3 of flower its best to defoliate and after that you should step down the lst beacause of the possibility of too much stress. You can also stress them out by lowering the day and night temprature. Hope this was an helpfull answer to you my friend. And always keep on growing. Peace 👍

Of course you can continue to train her with LST, these first pistils will be gone soon, that is the pre-flower that shows you the plant is ready for bloom, shes matured now and ready to go if you want. but you can also hold her in vegetation mode with some stress like topping although it´s not advised to do so for a long time. But most automatics have no problem with LST. But you will see. If there is no flowering during LST, just stop it and she will switch to bloom soon.
