    Broken branch whilst LST

    Hi , My autoflower is 33 days old and this is my first time I am growing and attempted LST but unfortunately the branch snapped and is holding on together by a bit :( i used some duct tape to connect it to the lower stem as it was and using a support stick to keep it up, noticed that all the...

    What is “supercropping” really?

    While most growers go through a natural series of common mistakes, such as over watering or overfeeding, most beginners wouldn’t even think of twisting or bending, much less bending and breaking branches on their plants. The relationship that a first-time grower has with their plant is like...

    I tied my leggy seedling in a knot

    I read about this last year but now I can’t find anything about it. Has anyone ever tried this? I did it to a leggy seedling that fell over and I thought was damping off. Now it’s clearly permanent and she’s doing great. I’m kinda excited to grow a “crazy straw” plant.

    LED’s from different angles

    Hey all, Just a thought after watching so many grow videos of lolipoping and LST’ing...Has it been proven unsuccessful to have lights both on the ground focused towards the lower growth as well as a light hanging to focus on top canopy? So imagine a tent where there’s one LED fixture on the...

    HST

    Just finished doing some HST this morning. Really my goal here is to keep the canopy nice and even as well as I can. So far it seems to be working pretty well. All have been topped, some more than once. I am bending the the stems without breaking until they feel soft and rubbery where I need...

    Two Indica Plants: LST from seed, defoliating, and deficiency possibly

I don't know the strain and Im sure the dude that sold me the smoke said whatever sounded good at the time when I asked. It was fire though! LOL . They are just...

    Low stress training vs topping. Which is better?

    I've always topped my plants but I recently watched this video and I'm thinking of doing low-stress training. Does low-stress training create bigger buds or am I fine with topping? Thanks for the replies.

    Low Stress Trained Sour D Flowering

    Hi, folks. This is my first indoor grow and my first time using LST. Week five of flowering. I didn't want to overdo the training with this plant, so I only bent the main stalk to allow the lower branches greater light exposure and compete for "top" cola status. I'm pretty happy with the...

    How's my LST looking?

    Plant is almost 2 months old. I am using other plants to hold mine down. How does it look? Am i doing anything obviously wrong? Thanks EDIT: I also recently topped it if that makes any difference.

    Update.

    So I took suggestions and seperated my two juicy jack seedlings ( this is my first time doing this) only to accidently snap the main stem on the smaller one. It's got some veg to work with so im going to see what happens.

    To LST or Not To LST? (Autoflower in Solo Cup)

    I'm a newb who is having a hard time grasping the mechanics of LST. I get that the point is to expose more bud sites to light but I have a spatial learning disability that makes it difficult for me to do things like tying down limbs & understanding what "90-degree angles" are, etc. I've read a...

    Help with LSTing...

    Can you LST a plant that hasn't been topped? I have a plant that is round and bushy and the branches are pretty long reaching almost even with the top cola. I feel like if i tie down those long arm branches maybe more would grow? I wasn't originally planning on topping, and i was actually hoping...
