when to LST Auto-flowers
SplainerMedicalGardenstarted grow question 6y ago
hi this is my first ever Auto-flower grow and i want to increase main cola sites. So I am wondering at what age is the best time to start low stress training. My plants are at 14 days from germination today and are 4 inches tall now. I appreciate any help and thanks in advance

You'd want to start now, firstly just gently bend the main stem away and to the side of the pot and tie her down. Then within a few days the smaller shots will take over. 🌱😁

Sooner the better imo! Don’t want it too stuff and can’t bend! If you’re just LST then it’s not really hurting anything so no worry

3 NL Autos from ILGM all started at same time, but plant 2 received no training: did training DELAY or STUNT plants 1Plant 1 has healthiest foliage but smallest buds.
Plant 2 seems farthest along but stalling out.
Plants 1 & 3 fattening. Just delayed?
Seeing amber trichs here n there, but lots of clears/milky all over.
Flush plant 2 for a week or two and harvest but let 1 & 3 go longer? … Show more

Snapped a branch. How worried should I be?Snapped the main stem during LST, right below the main cola on SLH(just starting flower). Braced it with ducktape and propped it with some bamboo. At this point, everything else looks fine, so I'm just pretending it's not there. How worried should I be? Anything else I should do?

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? ✌️

How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

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?

LST and AutoflowersWas wondering when doing LST with these autos if I should untie them at any point? Stop forming them at any point? Stay on it until they are done? I have been going in and kinda re-rigging them every few days but just wondering when to call it a day? Thanks guys!

Advices on when to start and wich one is better for HST? They are both bending naturally so I was thinking about start bending them on week 2 already.
