LST : now or later ?

TheBigTreestarted grow question 3y ago

Hi guys ! I'd like to try LST on these sisters. Just wondering, looking at the latest photos do you think they're tall enough ? Or should I wait a bit more ? Also in which direction should I tie them down to maximize yield ? Thank you in advance ! 🍃☀️

You can start bending her a little bit. Looking at the pictures she is growing to the left, so you should bend her to to the left. You already have some nice new stems growing, the faster you get them more exposed to light the faster they grow. Good luck growing :)

I would start but very slowly a bit at a time. I like having an anchor point near the bottom so I don't pull it out the soil.

LST Is it possible to use the lst method for an autoflowering plant, every time I see that you can bend and fix a branch under the lamp? I'm worried that it will be extra stressful for it, but I also don't want it to be too tall. When is it advisable to stop bending?

Continue tie-down or start using a scrog net Since it seems like I can do LST for quite a while longer, and I do technically have a scrog net lying around;Would you guys continue with the tie-down method, or position a scrog net 5-10 cm over the current canopy and guide the plant through the net? Just don't wanna over do it

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.

ScrOG tucking: expose lower smaller bud sites by tucking/compacting main cola branches?For a better yield, should I aggressively (but gently) bend main leading branches and tuck all shading fans to expose young 'undergrowth' branches (circled) and bud sites to light, or, inversely, untuck fans and straighten leading branches to give more light energy to them?

Node distance and LST Wondering if I should do something to increase node distance. I see so many journals of people doing LST and their plants seem to be stretched so much more and it seems much more clear where and what to train. Is this ok? Good? Terrible?
