Questions about LST

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by the123321, Apr 24, 2020.

  1. I am new to growing. I have 2 auto plants that are 24 days from seed that I started doing LST on last week. I first tied the main stem down to the back of the pot then like every 2 days after that I have been trying to tie the main stem in a circle around the pot by tying the main stem as it gets a little longer every 2 days around the side of the pot. Is that how you do LST? Do you keep tying the main stem around the outside edge of the pot or am I doing it wrong? Is the goal to try to circle the outside edge of the pot with the main stem or do you only tie the main stem the first time then wait a few days until different stems are taller then tie them down on there?

    I have watched videos on youtube and the videos I found look like they have what you do with the first tie down and then what it looks like at the end but I have not really found anything for the middle of the LST the steps between the first tie down and when you finish the LST work on there.
     
  2. Do you have a photo of your plant and the work you've done? You'll keep pulling down branches as they start to go higher than the rest of the canopy.

    I have photos of mine in my grow journal.

  3. Just tie the main stem down and keep it there mate. As the rest grows up you tie it down as symmetrically as you can to keep it level.
    A picture speaks a thousand words though.
     
  4. Thanks. I was a little heavy handed with the lst today and I am going to wait until the plants have perked back up by tomorrow to take new images on there.
