Topping and LST

It's all grower preference. I wait until a well established fifth node, clean out under four and break apical dominance.
But I grow autos.

they may be autos, but still good pictures showing what exactly you did. thank you very much! i hope you get an awesome harvest!
 
When you LST does anybody have a hard time watering the plant? do you sprinkle water on top of the plant and just go around like normal, do you try and water underneath the plant? does anyone have a specific way to water the plant after performing lst?

Never sprinkle water on top of the plant. The drops will burn the leaves like a magnifiyng glass. I try to water slowly in a circle not to create air pockets. If your plant is low you could use a syringe or something
 
G'morning! Move the lower string a bit higher up. Leaves should not touch soil, but you can try and move them around. Like rest on the string or something. In a few days you should have more leaves and you can remove some that are in wrong places.

G' Morning to you too! how much higher should the lower string be? i thought it should be at soil level atatched to the opposite side of the plant. So as to not uproot the plant out of the soil. To me the plant looks like its going to fall over and die lol

I always wait for 5 nodes before topping. Just to make sure the plant is strong enough to take the stress. 1613168857848.jpeg
