LST AUTOFLOWERS HELP

[whitlow]

So I'm want to start my LST where do I start my first bend? And is there a better time to do it? Like before it needs water, after water, beginning of light cycle, at the end of light cycle? Or does it matter? Didn't know if the plant was more workable at any certain time.

Thanks

Concerning when, depending on the height of the plant I start when I get a mature 4th or 5th node. Example below is a leggy Auto BlueAmnesia that I began to lst, when I got a mature 4th node, it was day 19, by removing under 3 and breaking apical dominance. I can't speak to LST by water or light schedule.

So I looked at my ladies this morning

and said here I go. So I started LST on 2 and will do the 3rd in a few days. What do y'all think?

That’s the spirit, they are pretty hardy in general and will take what you throw at them.

your second pic looks grand - just keep doing that clearing leaves as you go. Every now and then something will snap - don’t worry just tape it up and wait for it to mend before removing the tape

I was worried about breaking one of them. I was going to remove the big leave on the 1st picture it's the tallest and biggest thing now.

If it is in the way real growth, tuck it in or remove it - as with everything it comes down to personal preference.
many people like to rinse them clean a few times throughout the grow myself included others tuck and trim slowly along the way - maybe try a different approach on each plant and see what works for you

Your plants look lush and healthy so I am sure they can take it
