Anchor the base of the stem, and you are all good. Gotta take the stress off the roots. 👍

LST and Autoflowers
Was 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!

This is my sour ripper and the truth is that I see it as robust and it is about to bloom, I think. I don't know if I would like to list it since I'm a novice as you can see in my peyote diary. does the lst make the buds denser?

What about poneytailing leaves for better sun penetration instead of trimming them ? (kinky post)
It probably exists but I've never seen it. I poneytailed leaves instead of defoliating them, since it's their ultimate food suppply. Mostly the big ones not near the buds, can I do that on the main bud leaves ? Anyone uses this technique ? Is that a bad idea ? Did I over do it ?

I want to learn more about LST (low stress training) tecnic
I never done it before, but I’m sure it will improve my yield, maximizing resources, mainly light watts. Shall I start by bending the main cola, is it better for the shape of this plant? (+Speed auto from Sweet Seeds). Thank you 🙏 in advance for any insights.

Can I continue to tie down LST'd stem to horizontal or is there increased risk of breakage?
I tied down seedling plants 24hrs ago and they have straightened out much more quickly than I thought. My plan was to have the tied down stem elongate past the rim of the pot then allow it to grow vertical. Can I continue to straighten the stem 😄 or are they set like Jello? 😔

When to start LST?
Hi GD family. I have a question regarding LST on Auto. When will be a good time to start and at what week in vegetative stage? Any techniques far as creating multiple holes 🕳️ in 10. 2 gal plastic pots to tie them down once big enough to? Or Trellis Net will be ⏰ saving?

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?

LST - Am I going to hard? -/- Harvest - What to expect?
Am I going to hard with the LST? Is it okay do make small adjustments every day or two? What do you think about the progress so far? I'm really wondering what harvest I can expect. Is it realistic to expect something between 20-40g per plant? Thanks everyone for taking the time

Node distance and LST
Wondering if I should do something to increase node distance. I see so many journals of people doing LST and their plants seem to be stretched so much more and it seems much more clear where and what to train. Is this ok? Good? Terrible?
