answered grow question 6y ago
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

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?

Is my plant ready for LST?
I'm thinking of staring LST with this plant but I'm not sure if it's time already. What signs should I pay attention to determine its readiness?

Training Methods
So has anyone ever laid a plant down like this one has been done? I've looked up LST and mainlining but no luck yet. Always have just tied down branches. Any experience/advice with this would be great.

Removing "suckers" on autoflowers
I have these smaller growths on the lower part of my plant. They haven't really stretched out at all. I read that these smaller growths can suck available energy for the other buds. Can I cut these or just leave them and forget about them?

Acabo de volver del fin de semana que estuve fuera✈️, la dejé en su caja encendida 24/7🔌 tras darle una ligera agua ,aproximadamente 30-40ml💦, me la encontré así, creció notablemente, le hago LST? Es buen momento?... ¿un alambre doblandole el cuello para que crezca horizontal?

ScroG Autoflower
Would the ScroG method even be worth it for fast Autoflowers like Dark Devil Auto from sweet seeds for example? Or would LST be enough without it making much of a difference?

PREFLOWER or PARANOID!?!?!?
As this is my first grow i just want to get other opinions and be more confident but i believe that this plant is starting to preflower... correct? Plants are at day 23 from seed but seem to be stunted from what i think was high light intensity during the first few days of life.

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.

LST stressed plant, will it recover?
It seems she did not take the LST very well and is growing very slowly. Is this a lost cause or can she still recover and grow relatively big? Day 20

What leaves are ok to remove?
Hi! Is it fine to remove the upper fan leaves on this plant as well or should I wait thill the side branches get bigger leaves? I removed the lowers leaves after LST so nothing touches the soil, but some of them are blocking a bit light for the new growth. Thanks!

Advice?
Done with LST. I added a little overdrive.. just so anxious. My plants seem in line with pics from other Growers diaries. Any advice appreciated. Sometimes I’m afraid I overdo it with early topping and I did a lot of lst on these. I’m new at this. Thanks for reading! 🌱
