HST or LST for short plants?
Growernotshower1
started grow question 4y ago
Should a plant with very small internodal distance get topped or is LST + scrog probably enough to open her up?

Lst and defoliation or scrog are the Gold standard. Less stress and same results in less time.

Training LST
Hey guys! If I have finished bending the plants that are starting to bloom, should I release the branches from those training holders and let them fly?

First time LST
First time trying LST. I have very limited space and my plant is getting bushy, so I used garden wire + clips to bend her down (see pics). Not sure if I did it right. Any tips or corrections are welcome!

LST Newbie wants feedback
I've tried out LST on my middle plant that is a bit larger that the others – first time doing this so it would be nice with some feedback from some veterans out there!

Accidentally bent/squished the stem on Pheno #3, is it possible it can bounce back?
I was LST'ing the Purple Haze Pheno #3, I accidentally got a bend in the stem and it could have snapped or partially torn, I attached some photos hope these help. It was by accident, I have nerve damage and arthritis so I can't keep my hands still that much especially standing.

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?
I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds). The description says SCROG and LST work good. I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier. I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations. Should I?

LST advice! I keep snapping tops
I keep snapping tops during LST. Get ready for the dumb question! How often or aggressive should I be doing it? Is the idea to keep them low? Any info would be appreciated.

Regarding Fimming?
First time FIM for my baby but I’m not sure if I did it right ... There is a very tiny grow in the middle that I noticed today - the two picture are 30 hours apart - did I get it right or did I FFIM lol :p ? Also the plant is still pretty short - should I start LST?

Cracked branch.
I was LST last night i cracked on of the main branches. It cracked at the base. It was only a small one it still could hold its own weight. But I tapes it up and staked it. My question is will it stress it out? I'm almost in week 6. I'd the plant gonna stop growing to heal?

Just did my first LST. Any thoughts?
Hello! This is my first time doing LST. This auto flower is about 3.5 weeks old, and I just tied it down in two spots. Do you think this is a good start to Listing, or is it too much bending? Too little? Thanks to all who take the time to answer! 🌿🍅

Is it time for LST?
Do you think I should start LST for ALH girls or wait a while? Friends who do the same Grow usually continue by doing LST on the 3rd and 5th weeks. I would be glad if you examine the photos below and enlighten me on this subject.

LST - How far down should I pull the stems? If the leaves touch the media, too far? Try and go down as far as possible without breaking? Or just as long as the upper leaves aren't casting shade below?
