Tried LST - Looking for Help

[Teuffelhound]

So yesterday I tried my hand at some lst for the plants. The Double Grape was first and seemed to go well. The CDLC is really bushy so I didn't do much with it. The Auto Amnesia took the brunt of my abuse. I removed the little bit of wiring I tried and decided to put the scrog net up instead. I knew I damaged a node on the AA. This morning there are fan leaves starting to die on that node. I also noticed minor splitting on two other nodes - one on the AA and the other DG, but neither are showing signs on their respective leaves.

Can I do anything for them, or just wait to see if they pull through?

Hate to say it dude but I see balls in the 1st and 2nd pics. If those mature and burst all your plants will be seeded. Not really an easy situation on what to do from here but you could try plucking them and riding it out. Edible run? Good luck!

I saw what looks like balls too. But on the LST thing...

I never mess with LST after I've just watered, dunno if that is how you split stalks or not. But, been there and done that. I will usually do that type of work before I water. Split stalks...if it's a more mature plant, I will zip-tie them into place against the main stalk and 99% of the time the plants don't flinch. Younger plants are different in my experience and chances are on the amnesia, you'd be better off just removing the branch and moving on if the leaves are dying off. Or you could try the ziptie, or twisty tie, or tape it back and see what happens, I guess.

I will usually avoid LST until around the third week-ish personally. Unless the plant is growing super fast. And when I start, I do not try to bring the branches "flat". At least not right away. I will gently tie them down to open the canopy up a little, and expose fruiting sites. Then slowly over the course of time, open them wider and wider once I know and see where my fruiting sites are.

Splits in pics 2 and 3 should heal up fine, and they should knuckle over nicely. Pic 1 could really go either way.

Son of a bitch… that was a freebie seed I got from Mutiversebeans. It’s Auto Amnesia and actually took the brunt of the lst damage. This is my very first grow and I have no idea about edibles….

Errors seed the freebie brand? Personally I would pluck them off and keep an eye.

Lights are back on and I took a look at the AA again (first two images were from that plant). It did stand out somewhat, but I saw white pistals(?), or what I thought were…. So I’ve got a “he”?

Thank you for the lst advice, I’ll make note on them.

First time buying and came across Multiversebeans on Reddit (where this journey started). Purchased two packs, Double Grape and Crème de La Chem. These were in Mephesto sealed packages. The AA, three seeds, were in a vial in a baggie.

How much time to “monitor” before pulling from the tent?

Thanks again! Still very new and learning tons!

Kinda hard to see if the plant only has a couple sacks or tons of them. I would post a couple photos of the plant so we can see what’s up overall. Someone will be able to help. If it’s just a couple I’d pluck and observe. If it’s more than a couple, then I’d probably cull the plant. And if it’s the same plant you snapped, and you’re uncomfortable with it, just yank it and start over. Learn and move on.

Edit- PS - Paul at MultiVerseBeans is a good guy. He wouldn’t knowingly send bunk. Not that I think you think that. Just wanted to put that out there.

The whole experience was great and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from him again. I don’t know enough about the different plants to know where the AA strain typically comes from - like I said, no label, other than the name, was in the baggie.

I’ll take some more photos and see if I notice any more.
