Extended low stress training

First time grower looking for opinions on if my spot for LST is fine? I only have a 4 ft tent so my height is limited right now.

I just put the one on the highest spot to hold it down some, is it too high up? TIA!

You can bend her anywhere she’ll bend. Looks about right to me.

Nice work Growmie, looks like an auto in preflower?? Expect a big stretch coming if so :love_you_gesture:

I would lower this tie down and try and get that main a little lower, this will let the side branches catch up creating an even canopy for equal lighting distribution across the bud sites :love_you_gesture:
Below the red line if the main isn’t too rigid

Right on, they’ll turn towards the light almost overnight when you tie them down :love_you_gesture:

I think you might’ve LST’d a little bit too late but that’s ok! My first run I didn’t do very good LST. I do recommend LST clips, they kinda make it easier for me. I am growing two Girl Scout cookies for fun right now and both of them are looking much better with the LST I’m doing on them. I can send some pics if you’re interested. I’m trying to create an even canopy

The ones in the tent are same as in greenhouse! Just younger. I’ll take better pictures for you later. I also have a GSC journal going for this

How has your experience been with topping autos? I am interested in your experience, since im new i would love your opinion and perspective if you don’t mind. :blush: I figured i would definitely try on my photo grows but ive been hesitant to want to try on autos from some of the stuff ive seen.

This is my first topped grow and I’m just messing around, so far it’s been pretty good. Theyve gotten some nice tops. Personally I think just do whatever you wanna do. Try topping! Try not topping! It’s whatever works. I may just be lucky with these two, idk. But so far they’re huge and impressive

Nice! Well that’s nice to know at least and i agree. Just do whatever. There seems to be hundreds of ways to do this so its all good in my eyes. :blush: Thanks for your help :blush: added the lst clips to my wish list already.

Here are the ones I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T6G462H?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Honestly just try whatever you can to get more experience and then you can decide for yourself what works and what doesn’t! Topping was something I wanted to do for fun / check yields, so far so good! Will keep you posted :smiley:
