Autoflower Ready To Start LST?

[Ripvanwinkle08]

Good Morning,

Just curious if my autoflowers look big enough to bend over and tie down? I will also rearrange any leafs that’s needed and defoliate any that will be under the plant. They are 3 weeks from sprout today.

Thanks for your help

Thank you. I will start today First grow and it’s been a blast so far.

Quick Question. Should I just ponytail to start and wait until they get a bit taller? Or should I go ahead and bend them over?

After LST, I unfortunately had to pull quite a few leaves off. I tried to open up more bud sites. Hopefully it wasn’t to many.

IT looks fine. As the plant grows new leaves will form.

Perfect,

Thanks all. This makes me feel a lot less worried about it.

It looks fine to me. Good job.

Quick question.

I rebent the main stem on this one(turned it at another 90 from the original bend) to make the canopy more even. Do you think this will be alright? Or should I take off the hold down? They just started showing sex a couple days ago.

Your fine to keep re tying as you go.

I would suggest not pulling off more than 3 leaves at a time if you need to pull them off at all.

What wizzle said. When defoliating a plant that's been LST'd, I focus on removing nothing but inward-facing secondary fan leaves. Doing so opens up the center of the plant to more light and air flow and it also makes it so that I can't really ever remove too much at once.

Received,

Thank you both very much. I’ll slow way down on the defoliation.

Looking good, just keep tying down nodes and exposing bud sites. On your next grow, grommets make training easy when using fabric.

Man that is beautiful lol. I can only hope they get anywhere near that. I laid off them since the last message and they seem to be doing great. I just took off a couple leaves per plant today that were covering bud sites and redid my tie downs to even out the canopy.

I had a nute deficiency starting on the Leaf tips Sunday so I started a feeding schedule. 2.5 ML Micro, 2.5 ML Grow, 1.25 ML Bloom per gallon. 1 gallon per plant. They seem to be taking it well so far.

Another quick question. These plants will be 5 weeks since sprout on 10/28. Do you see any sign of flower? Attached are pics of all 4 of my plants. I thought they should have went into flower by now.

Thanks again for the help
