OrionGrowgulstarted grow question 3h ago

Dies ist meine erste Photo. Habe am Sonntag mit Topping begonnen und wollte fragen wann der beste Zeitpunkt dafür wäre. Ich möchte die Haupttriebe gern mit klammern biegen. Oder wie würdet ihr es machen?

Better to wrok backward from a target canopy. How many colas do you want? Then, you can figure out the most efficient way to get there. I'd start with 2-3 pair of branches, not including the lowest set. Then try to top as eveneldy as possible to get to the number of colas you want. ~3 colas per sq ft is all you need to maximize yield.

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? ✌️

LST - How to Scrog help Looking for advice on how to use a SCROG auto. Bought one to try LST but confused how it works. Looking at videos people just seem to squash on top during veg. Am I too late/early with it? Does it just grow into it or do I need to use the tie down method TOO? Doesnt look right :/

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!

Low stress training. To undo and redo or leave them as is. That the question :P Another one related to my lst. So i got the hang of doing lst. I started off really early with all on the lst. The plant is fairly close to the ground. Can I undo the lst and let them grow a bit tall and then re do the lst later? Or leave it as it is and let them grow as is?

Is now the time to top?Is this a good time to top? Most plants are developing their 5th or 6th node as pictured. Is it recommended to cut just above the 4th or 5th node? I am planning on doing "LBH’s Famous 4-Way LST" combined with SCrOG.

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?
