So I am onto my second grow and want to do some LST and I just wanted some guidance as far as: are my plants ready for it, how to tie them down properly, and what to do with the big shade leaves covering up potential new cola’s. I messed with one of the plants a little bit and even with it tied ove…

Lookin good so far :+1: 1st thing to know is if they’re auto or photo because there’s a giant difference in how you can train em. On photo personally I don’t touch my plants until they are going really good and are at least 5 or 6 nodes. That’s when I’ll top em which stops the main and takes the sha…

I just started LST on my girls. I usually wait until they get to the 5th or 6th node before I start. Some will start sooner and do things differently. Someone else had ask me about training so I have decent pics on how do it. Another thing is I usually use soft tie and 3/16 wood dowel to tie them do…

Sorry about that, thought I put an autoflower tag on the post. Yeah all four are autoflower so I will not be topping these.

You did tag it auto I always forget to look at those damn things oops. Autos are not on my to do list so I’ll bail out and let others advise. I don’t like not having control over when flowers start, maybe some day I’ll give em a whirl. Good luck with em though 4sure and again they’re lookin good

I will usually get 8 -12 colas doing it this way. I just check them daily and retuck fan leaves and help the lower growth get some light. If any of the stems really start to pull ahead of the rest I tie them off until the rest catch up. I mostly grow photos so once I get ready to flip lights I’ll st…

Thank you for your valuable input. I’ll post some updates once I get the girls tied up and I start seeing progress.

I’ll tag you to my journal, if you are interested to see my progress. There’s a lot of off topic commentary, but I do updates weekly. Also have several experienced growers following along that you can hookup with and get some great advice from. :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

Nice… be careful with that tiny bit of extra hand ugga dugga :cry:. She’s still growing though. [20201112_092235]

I’m going to post a link to @Nicky journal. He’s the man to see about autos. He grows autos almost exclusively and is very knowledgeable about all things involving growing.
