AbsoluteBudinnerstarted grow question a month ago
Considering LST for 1 or both plants. Should I bother or save risk it if I grow something taller (i have some fastbuds seeds I plan to grow next). Am considering LSTing the Sherbet as twice height already of Quick1. Also, have Ieft it too late to start. Stalks are pretty thick

You can use little LST if it’s ur first time! I would not go all in. U have plenty to learn on the way. Start out small then improve ur next grows. Use lst for both. I suggest buying trellis net it’s the best thing u can use. First start off LST small then go over to a net. Then in the future u can try to top ur plant and super cropping when u learner the first steps lst/net. Good luck my friend 🙌🏼💯 just dm me if you have some more questions

What I would do Remove the 1 fingered fan leaves & nodes. They grow stutned under the 3 fingered leaves above. Do this, and wait a few weeks. Really no LST is required until pre flower ends. Or if you want to control the shape u can apply lst early into week 3+. Not before that. It's really not needed.

LST seems to work well for people with auto flowers. I would go for it. I think you are at a good time to do it,just start out small a. Sometimes I will see people transplant at a 45 degree angle as to not have to bend the stem and get a similar effect. I did it with a cutting I was cloning and it bushed out into 4 tops in the clone tray.

LST is fun. I like it. Should give it a shot. Read a few good artiles about it and then go low and slow. Other option is to move the one pot up higher with a book or something to equal out the height. but chances are they will stretch differently and grow to different heights, so manage it as is.

LST can be useful for height control and yield improvement. For Sherbet, it could help even the canopy. Quick1 might not need LST. Although stems are thick, LST is still possible – proceed carefully. Learning the technique now will be valuable for future tall plants. Remember, there's a small risk of damage. Start gently, bend gradually, and monitor your plants closely. Good luck!

Hello! Your plants are looking good! I don't think you're too late at all to start some LST on your Sherbet and then Quick1 as it catches up in height.
