Hi Everyone, I am new to growing, so I am obviously new to LST. The Auto Green Crack is very healthy, and I wanted to start LsTing. She is about 13 days old. I posted a photo of what i believe is the starting process of LSTing. Please let me know if it is ok for the leaves to touch the soil when LSTing. Thanks, and I look forward to the comments.
Here is a quick update: Plants took well to the LST, and their leaves redirected toward the light, so I lsted a little bit more. The larger plant is showing good signs of lower growth. Can I lst the fan leaves to open the lower growth areas up more? The plant is pretty short, so I do not have much room for bending and tying off. The wire is connected right underneath the top growth. I cannot really bend anymore considering the plant is so short. The first several pictures are of my larger kush plant. The last 3 pictures are of the seedling we discussed initially in this thread.
I tie my fan leaves down but usually a thing i do in flower once plant focuses on buds..you cud tie yur fan leaves down in veg i gues..i wouldnt tie them n a way which the undersides r exposed to light,mayb slightly downward to expose stalk...those fan leaves r how yur plant recieves light so b gentle
Thanks for the pointer. I started lsting because I was advised to by another member. I am aware that it allows the bottom growth to receive more light and grow more bud sites. I could be wrong considering this is my first.
OK just wondering, you might want to wait till it's larger to train, bending for light penetration is fine. Right now you are lighting your soil.
Idl autos myself there not big enough,but its never the wrong time the lst,wen there old enough to top(which u shouldnt with autos cause of recovery time)then there old enough to lst

It's still doing it. Wtf. Oh well What's the smallest pot for an auto. Thinking about going down to two gal pot so I can fit two plants in my cabinet. And have a little room to fit a 125w CFL for a little side light action. Was thinking I'd use a bigger pot and put two in but might lift them up too far and mess up distance to led. 3 gal pot is what I'm using now and it's pretty big. Seems two gal would be fine. I'm gonna try to do one of those crazy spiral lst Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
