How many nodes do you wait for to do lst in there?

How many nodes do you wait for on your plants before you do lst on there? Do you count the cotelydon in the count of nodes for it on there? How many days from planting is it usually when you do the lst on there?

Hey,I am looking for the same answer. I'm on node 4 (not counting cotledons) so should be soon. Yeah,DO you count cotlefons LOL

I've recently been trying my hand at "adjusting" ....having topped photos for years, just never tried an auto...always just let'em do their christmas tree thing..... noticing some strains are getting tall now, I decided to start adjusting more than tucking.
Here's a pic of a dinafem white widow that was topped at 4th node...and a fastbuds black berry that was lst st 4th node. The ww is about 2 weeks ahead of the bb. Both are developing nice structures ....really looking forward to the bb developing further.
I'm liking both methods but lst allows ya to mess with'em more. Being an old bonsai grower, it's right up my alley.

I start my count at the first multi finger leaf node on my autos, then wait for well established 5th node, top above 4 and remove everything under 3.
I also use same system if I'm going to aggressively LST without topping. I don't smoke popcorn and I don't grow popcorn. This is what works for me on my 2-4 plant grows.

Thanks for the information. That looks interesting. I may try lst on there.
