When do you guys start LST?

Hey this is my first grow im currently on day 15 just wondering when I should start low stress training apparently it can help me get a bigger yield I greatly appreciate any feedback I can get

You should start it around maybe like 4-5-6 nodes depending on how tall she is.

If you wanna check out my grow you can probably see some of the stuff I went through and questions I had. I’m about two weeks ahead of you. Might help you to plan and anticipate going forward.

I’m doing autos so if you are doing photoperiod you might treat these different

Do you plan on just LST or a topping or fim. Topping will take the main and split that into 2 and a fim with 4. Fims are easy to miss. I top all my autos and photos with continued LST for a larger yield. I wait until the 4th node on a manifold and the 5th for a quadline :love_you_gesture:

Time wise I’d say that you should be tall enough with enough nodes within a week to start. Like @OGIncognito i like to top mine at the 5th node then lst after that

I feel like I planted her to deep but I have been trying to get better understanding of the nodes and definitely will attempt to top it if it’s gonna produce more buds

Depth wouldn’t be the issue once they break ground. Tight node spacing can be related to light to close and intensity, raising the light will help with that just adjust your DLI. Are you going to top or grow naturally :love_you_gesture:. In the pic I count the nodes as 1 where this shows 2 and so on and top above the 4th or if I’m using a manifold technique I top above the 3rd and remove all the growth below. Give them a week or so and start LST and spreading them out :love_you_gesture:
