You can start as soon as you want the better , molding the stem in a desired shape is always done better sooner than later , you can check in my diary I've used all the techniques, and started week 2 .Good luck LST'ing

How and when to train?
Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Defoliation/LST for Northern Lights Auto
Hello! I am struggling a bit with deformation on my NL auto. Please see pics from week 7. This is after defoliation and it looks like fan leaves will overshadow cola sites again in a few days. Should I defoliate more or leave it? Currently managing with LST but leaves are getting bunched.

What Should I Do?
I'm planning on swazzing this next week and was wondering if maybe I should bend those long ass shoots to fall on my ring when I do? In my head it would even the canopy and get more exposure in the same. Am I wrong? Should I do it or just swazz and go? Any input would be greatly!

LST, defoliation and topping advice..
Plz look at my four girls and advise when I should top them? LST going ok so far but think I need to wait a bit before topping? Anyone got a preferred method of doing things? I’m hoping to LST for another week or so and then switch to flower am I rushing things? More Defoliation?

Should I Stop LSTing the Northern Lights Auto since its stretching a lot ?
as title says im comparing the shape of my plant to other growers and since I have been dropping the main cola height it has become more of a circle rather the long sticks ready to be filled with bud.

LST on rigid main stem
I think I should have started with LST sooner. The main stem is rather rigid now. Unfortunately, I was away during Week 3. Would you recommend gradually pulling it sideways or better to leave it alone at this stage?

Cutting leaf
As 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?

Too broken to save?
Aaaand I’ve completely disregarded my own plan of letting these girls grow naturally, and accidentally snapped the main stalk. Pretty much entirely across. I immediately taped it. But being that it’s an auto, is it even worth doing this?
