LST advice

Don't you want to counter pull at the very bottom? I mean tie it to the opposite side of container just under the first nodes. Not to really pull it much but to make it stay in place when you pull the strings above... It gives some stability so you won't pull it out of the soil by accident haha you know

Counter pulling isn't really needed as long as the plant(s) have a fairly well developed root system to hold it in place.

Otto this is an interesting conversation and I know very little about LST perse.
Can a plant be trained to grow with constant weight, or is it still best to tie?
Also , can LST be done outside too?

It's my understanding that the branches can still be trained while carrying weight but (for me) the goal is to LST until the canopy is pretty even so that apical dominance goes to each of those buds. Once they're all growing at the same rate (they're all dominant) there really should be the need to train.

As for LST outside, I've never done it and from what I understand there really isn't any need to since the sun moves across the sky allowing the majority of bud sites to receive a pretty even distribution of light.

Tie her down and watch her fly!
IMO

I've seen some people doing it with good results but it's a bit more tricky than indoors, you gotta be more flexible and use your surroundings... The question is Do you want to spend time and effort. As @OttoCBD said, the moving Sun already helps much. I don't know, have never done it, just saw on Youtube so whatever

@GeorgeCloney what about a trellis netting? Also how to I make a grow journal on here for her I’m only going to show one.

Feeding with Fox Farm
Grow big:10ml
Kangaroots:10ml
MicroBrew:10ml
Supreme growers kelp blast:1tsp
Every morning when the lights flip I spray them with kelp and ph water

I don't want to hijack a thread, and I don't want to start another (I have enough active threads)...
I'm trying "something" this grow, my first 2 grows I did nothing except remove some leaves later on...
First time doing anything so not sure exactly where I'm going with this or what I should do next...
Leave the leaves for now... Cut some... Move branches... Cut branches...?? Leave it alone...??

I'd leave her alone for a few days let her stretch to the light and adjust. Then reposition the ties once you inspected how she's adjusted. I wouldn't be cutting nothing yet.
