Is it ok to LST the main kola a touch whilst she�...
m0useanswered grow question a year ago
Yes its ok to do some light LST, nothing to crazy as it is still stress just not as much stress as HST techniques like topping.
You can do LST up into the first 3 weeks of flower on most plants, anything after that its done streching so its just going to bulk up mostly and not much to LST after that.
Good Luck!

As your 4th week is already a flowering week, your plant has been flowering for 2 weeks and it's best to stop structural training at this point (the branches are less supple). Also, given the size of your plants, I'd avoid anything that would reduce the yield during flowering.
Anyway, try to get a bigger plant, for example by using a bigger pot with autos, before trying structural training.

Hello my friend, yes LST is perfect for during pre flowering. But be carefull once a plant start flowering the branches do not bend easy and snap fast. So be carefull, better be safe than sorry!

Cutting leafAs you can see, one of the top leaf is covering light for side branches and I can't find a good way to avoid that by tying down the plant. I can't tie down the main top beacaue I don't want to damage the first signs of flowering. Can I cut that leaf or will it damageher too much?Techniques. LST

Lst and pkI 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 ?Week 8

Topping or no topping? Or any training?High!
Im wondering if I should do any training to my sea of green grow. I mean I want to have a massive yield, but I don’t want them to grow in each other, so topping might be a bit over the top?😄😉
What do you think? Thank you very much✊4 years ago

Final stages of Veg! Am I missing anythingHeading into the last 2 weeks of Veg, are there any suggestions for things I should consider doing to help maximize this amazing grow so far.
First ever attempt at super-cropping, and it’s my 5th indoor project.
Never had such a low lush profile.
Looking forward to FlowerWeek 8

LST or defoliation on autosI think I will need to defoliate a bit those bushy ladies, but I am not so confident about that because, from what I've read and since it's my first time growing autos, defoliation or lst is not advisable because it may stress them a looooot or am I wrong?4 years ago

Should i take off the hooks (LST)Someone here told me that it is not fair to lay the girls on the ground as i did, because the leaves touches the soil.
Should i set them free to go up and continue the LST once the plant is some centimetres up?
Or should i leave it like this and keep going? I dunno what to do.Week 4

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️4 years ago
