LST with small space
BlackWhitestarted grow question a year ago
Should I do LST when my horizontal space is limited? I have 3 Autos in a 60x60x180cm tent and I‘m a bit concerned that this will a bit too small if they grow out. So would LST contribute more to the horizontal space problem?

Absolutely. Especially if growing sativas or high stretching strains. Lst and even hst may be your only option. Other then topping or super croping. I'm scared to do that so I just use lst. Lst is your best option to not stunt growth. Although more measures may have to be taken if running out of room.
Just use green garden wire that has protective coating on it. Tie around the top stem below the top node. Allow room in the loop so the stem can grow amd thicken. Then gently bend over and tie it off. Each day you may need readjusted. Bit yeah if you have limited height lst would be your best bet.
Like I said it may get severe enough you will need to do HST. Just watch, and read up ok the strain your growing to see how high it normally grows and how much it stretches.
Good luck growmie

Long long story short I would lst. Growing in soil they likely won't get really big. Spread out is better then too tall and close to the light and heat spot they make. The heat will hurt the profile of the flower way more then spread out lower.

Of course.
Just remembrr why LST is done
It is to Open canopy.
Top your Ladies, and then start Off.
But to be honest..only.2 plants would be better in that space

the more systematic you are at filling the space, the better the yield will be. with many plants in a small space, this is less important but can still help. you should need a ton of training as these plants will quickly fill in the gaps just growing normally. you'll still more easily and more quiclkly get X vertical colas per sq ft in a systematic manner.
the axillary growth (axillary buds -> branches) will eventually be more substantial, though some strains do not branch as much as others. What you see now isn't representative of a more mature plant, more times than not.
remember, you only have to fill about 1/2 the space by the time you flip to flower... if autoflower, it's a crapshoot in that regard as they all have different time frames for development. when you see preflowers, figure flowering started 7days prior or more.

Just did my first LST. Any thoughts?Hello!
This is my first time doing LST. This auto flower is about 3.5 weeks old, and I just tied it down in two spots. Do you think this is a good start to Listing, or is it too much bending? Too little?
Thanks to all who take the time to answer! 🌿🍅

Low-Stress Training, Pre-flower ConcernsWhen low-stress training, is it better to make sure the pistils of preflowering stage are covered by leaves or are they ok to be exposed to light? I thought they may be to vulnerable for full light exposure (150w FLS led, Royal Dwarf Auto, pre-flower stage)
