I have holes drilled all around the lip of my pots and use insulated copper wire to tie them down and spread them out to get monster harvests . I adjust the tie wires about once a week to keep them spread open

Hi I am using the pin down method by gently bending the stem and pinning it to the soil. As new growth occurs, pin down the next segment and pin a couple more times. There are other methods like topping or filming, but I haven't tried them yet as I'm still new to growing. Happy growing 🌱 and have fun 🎉

Disaster! LST rips off entire growth tip after first topping! Any advice?Hi all, I adjusted LST tension this morning and the entire growth tip snapped off. It was too small/fragile to tape so I put in rooting hormone solution and tried making a clone. What should I do with this plant now? Feeling discouraged.

LST and questions in week 4 comment I tried lst on the tallest one, I felt a rip maybe roots? Anchored and bent a little. Gorilla I tied a few branches down to let some light underneath was it worth? Good experience none the less. I also have couple questions in week 4 comment. Really loving my first Grow so far :)

I snapped the main stem during LST by accident Do you guys think my plant will recover with the main stem break? Details are in the journal but basically it completely snapped, was hanging by a thread of fibre. I used some allow and ducting tap that came with my exhaust.

LST possible?Is it possible or even beneficial to do some lst on them? The internode space is very tight and the stems are not flexible, plus they started preflower. They are 4 week old autoflowers and I feel like the lower leaves don't get enough light.

Lst and pk I think it will be the last question, I’m questionning myself on lst and pk. I know lst doesn’t harm the plant but did I lst too much so that will answer to the question that they’re so f*ing slow or I’m just paranoid. Can I pk from week 2-3 to the last 10 days from harvest ?

Plants growing at different rates I have 4 different Sativas on the go - 2 of them are really stretching tall, and I'm having to really train them hard to keep them relatively the same height as the other 2. How best to handle plants of the differing heights and grow rates in a 4x4 tent?

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?
