To LST or not to LST ( from the windowsill)

Kataliststarted grow question 4y ago

I'm thinking of doing LST on the plants but not sure if it's a good idea because they already bending like crazy trying to get the little sun there is lately standing on the windowsill. Any advice would be appreciated! 👽

Hi hun 💚 I would say leave any LST until you have a little grow light as when you open her up she will struggle to get the light she needs. she's looking very healthy 😍 happy growing. 😊 if you've no room for a grow tent a wardrobe or cupboard is great for a little grow. x

Hi, congrats on the first grow! Since you are not using a grow light and just natural light indoors—- I would say do not do LST. It’s already stressed enough from the lack of powerful sun beams that it needs—- hence the lean. That’s enough natural lst. Only do it if you get a real grow light. ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

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 :/

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.

So we are at 4.5 weeks standing about 6.5 inches. Is it to early to start training? This is a strictly outdoor grow so mother nature is in complete control of lighting. Sun up 6am sun down @ 10pm roughly. Temps range anywhere from 75°-95° F daily & 65 -75 @ night humidity 70-90%

LST and Topping I am starting to feed them nutrients and they are growing faster lately. I am considering starting LST and topping next week. LST when it reaches 4/5 nodes, and topping above the 5th node. Do you have any tips on how to perform this the best way ? Thank you in advance !

So I used LST and had the top tied down pretty far. while messing with the plants I accidentally hit it to hard breaking the main stem about 1/3 the way up from bottom. Instantly taped her back but curious if I should keep it off or what. It was and entire break, 2 pieces.
