right on time,very well done for a stocky plant like this.those lower growths will stretch to the light and it'll be easier to lst from then.only way to do lst wrong is to break the stem completely.well done

Low stress training did this. Can it be fixed or is this an opportunity for cloning?

My question is concerning the use of LST, and it's correlation to longer than usual harvest times. It seems all the growers I follow whom train/defoliate their plants consistently harvest as much as 6 weeks later than what the breeder calls for. Any thoughts?

I met this kid yesterday that said he waters his plants every day and not to LST. My plan was to make the plants grow in a spiral essentially. I just wanted to hear everyone else’s opinion on this kids statements. He has like 2.5 grows under his belt where I only have .33 grows.

What do I do with my LST ties in flower?
I'm planning to switch to flower soon and I have been using LST on my plants. I know LST should continue for the first two weeks of flower, but what happens after that? Should the ties stay on, or can they come off? I trained the individual branches rather than the whole stem.

Big green blisters lol
Are these from stressing the plant, or more sinister? I read somewhere that it might be a nutrient thing but I just want closure lol 👊 also quick question on when to put these bad girls into flower?

LST during flowering?
is it OK to keep bending her main stem over during flower? It wouldn't be a big deal but I am running out of room to keep raising the light. She a good 4 inches above the rest. See Day 34 pic

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?

Beginner worried she started LST on auto too soon.
Question about LST autos (see photos). I read LST should start early with autos, but I am worried I might be starting too soon. I started with plant 3, but it just flopped right over (I didn't have to pull it), so I stopped. Is this ok, or should I wait? The others?

Will the branch recover from a crack?
Accidentaly cracked one branch during the LST. Should I let it as it is and wait for it to recover, or should I remove the branch completely? She is an autoflower Royal Bluematic in the 3rd week of veg. Thanks for the tips :)

will she became too comfy to get training?
Im not planning to make lamp-plant dist. bigger, also dont want to gave up on the 24 per day light feed. She will grow like a bush, and thats nice but wont this affect her training manageability for the next weeks? If the folia remains this dense, she might not appreciate bondage
