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

Zdarec, přemýšlím nad tím že dále bych pokračoval s metodou SCROG. Kdy a jak s metodou nejlépe začít? A má to vůbec smysl v mém stanu 45x45x120 cm ? Děkuji za každou reakcí 😉 . Mír

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

Should I start LST?
Going into 3rd week strong. Should I start using LST at my friend or should I wait a few days? Where do I tie her from? I did not find any definite guide around.

When to start LST?
Hey Growers, I'm a few weeks into my first grow and I'm keen to try some LST. Is it too early to start training them? Also, they're a short strain so should I even bother training them at all? Appreciate any advice. Thanks K

Enough LST for an autoflower?
I was wondering how much LST and how intense the LST on an auto should be? I heard you shouldn't stress autos too much, that's why I'm extra careful and wanted to ask. (And yes I know it's overwatered, I'm letting it dry out at the moment)

Plants growing at different rates
I have 4 different Sativas on the go - 2 of them are really stretching tall, and I'm having to really train them hard to keep them relatively the same height as the other 2. How best to handle plants of the differing heights and grow rates in a 4x4 tent?

Should i do LST or not ? Or maybe LST one Plant, let one grow natural ?
this is my third ever grow, and i was wondering if its worthy letting a plant grow natural, So far my two first plants i have done LST on, will the yield be impacted a lot when its being grown natural ? What do you think, should i give letting it grow natural a chance or do LST ?

Disaster! LST rips off entire growth tip after first topping! Any advice?
Hi all, I adjusted LST tension this morning and the entire growth tip snapped off. It was too small/fragile to tape so I put in rooting hormone solution and tried making a clone. What should I do with this plant now? Feeling discouraged.

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?

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.
When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.

Starting Training
I'm currently worried about my older plant set that seem to be constantly having the leaf edges curl and seem to be a little droopy and a little too dark green. Also I feel like I should be doing some sort of training. I would love to have some feedback on what you all think. ✌️
