I have some gorilla glue autos which are 20 days or so old. I have a couple pics here of what I did to LST but since its my first LST I wanted to get some input. I braced the base stem and then bent it over under the top node. Is that correct? Also, should I top that very top one? My dirt is kinda low, my bad, will that affect the LST? Thanks and feel free to offer any advice

I wouldn't top. I would remove both ties, remove two bottom nodes, straighten plant upright by adding soil, then
retie with equal and opposite tension. Be sure to keep leaves out of the medium especially when you water so as not
to start growing mold, mildew and inviting pests in. Just keep tying down nodes, exposing bud sites to maximum light.

The GG is fast. I would not top that strain. In a few days start with the bottom 2 branches and pull them in the opposite direction from the top node. As the next branches get enough length pull those in the sams direction as the bottom branches you already moved. Keep doing that creating spokes of a wheel. At the same time keep directing the top node across the pot and out the far side. I always plant my seeds to one side of the pot so that I have more space to train the top node across the pot. I usually end up with 40 colas or so.

I always fill the pot to the very top due to settling i lightly pack the sides as I fill the pot to help ensure the pot has good structure. I always use shallow 7 gal pots. Not tall narrow pots. Much better for training. The pots I get are 10" tall and 14" wide. The sides of your pot will want to pull in. It will limit your ability to train. But good job and the plant will do fine. Looks healthy by the way.
thanks
ya lesson learned, im in 3 gallon fabric pots cause I figured with quicker turn around time i could use smaller. I never compensated for training

so heres a question. After you bend down the main stem, when it pops up to the light do you bend it down/train it again?
@ferrarosnose I let the stems get 5 leaf nodes before starting the bondage + extraneous bad stem shoots removals.
so here is a plant which was trained 3 days ago. Is it a case now of let it grow a couple more inches then train it again?
