Low Stress Training Adjustments

[Meowza]

Hey everyone, I have 3 Northern Lights going and today I did my first LST for them. It’s day 20 for 1 plant, day 18 for the other 2. Plant 1 is 7” tall, the other 2 are 4 inches tall and very squatted, their bottom set of leaves actually are touching the soil and they aren’t even drooping. I’m wondering how often I should adjust the LST to expose other sides of the plant? Also when I make the adjustments could/should I bend the plant back the opposite direction or just make small adjustments that don’t drastically change the direction of the original bend? And should I be concerned about the height of my short plants? A 900w Viparspectra LED is currently 23” above their canopies, should I raise it to encourage them to stretch out or are they fine being so squatted? Thanks in advance for any input!

I leave mines a day or so then re-adjust it. Let the plant grow for a bit. Good job so far. Here's a few things to go get.

You are doing great! The plant will tell you what to do. Once you do it it is pretty intuitive.

I adjust frequently to expose bud sites.

Thanks! This is my first grow and I’d like to think I’m doing alright, I appreciate your support!

Looks like you’ve got great exposure on your plants, when I adjust mine in a day or 2 I will definitely LST more branches like you’ve done.

It will look something like this.

Hey Guys just a FYI, I was at Dollar Tree and they had both the Soft wire Tie and the Reel with cutter and extra spool. Both for $1.

Peace
