CRiSPrGrowanswered grow question 4y ago

hi there Madhatter, there's only one thing that helps with yield and that's lateral growth. LST promotes lateral growth, therefore LST does help with yield. With early LST, there is such a thing as "overdoing" it, but hopefully you should be fine as long as you're not putting them parralel to the floor. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Well FML, pop goes the main stem.Trying to bend a little bit more, then that dreaded sound, "pop". Like snapping a fresh carrot it is the sound of heart break. The tie had likely weakened that part of the stem, shouldn't be so aggressive. Any suggestions on how to nurse this break and mend my broken heart?

Hey! When should LST be stopped? Currently day 32, pistils all over, she’s been loving the lst and defoliation so far, my only concern is doing to much LST and preventing the stretch from happening, any advice is appreciated! Many thanks!

When to start 12/12 Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top. So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

Won't cut yet or should I?Am I doing this right? The top arrow is the way I'm bending her, or do I bend her back, bottom arrow? I already stressed her out enough. I defoliated to get rid of shade, bent more. Tied down the twigs. Comments needed lol 👊

Does my autoflowering plant look okay after topping I did topping on week #3 and have been doing LST during the last 4 days. I feel I over-stressed the plant. Seems like it's to small for it's age. Please take a look at the photos I have attached and say: Does my plant look okay as for a middle of the 4th week of vegetation?😐
