    Default Lst tips.

    Hi I’m looking for some tips on lst growing 3 autos and heard not to trim them at all so was goin to try this instead. How long would you leave it pulled to one side etc. Thanks for any help.

    I always top my autos and Lst . When the topped branches get long enough , I then bend them slightly to creat extra colas.

    That’s the plan haha. So how long do you leave it pulled before you do it in another direction etc. I’m on my first grow you see so all these techniques are new to me. Don’t want to do anything too drastic.

    It depends what your going to use to bend the branches. I've used paper clips and horticulture pegs . The paper clips I use when the limbs are almost close to the pot edges and the horticulture pegs at any point. Just be gentle.

    Don't top yet you need at least 4 or 5 nodes some do it a 3.
    Look online for videos on how to top correctly. That will send growth to the lower branches and then you can lst once they reach a decent size. You will notice when to do it. Your only putting light to almost no pressure on the limbs. Loads of decent YouTube vids out there.

    Top early. Keep em as low as possible. Look for Mainlining, its extreme LST. Done it on my current grow and would do it in the future. Its second best to scrog, without the hustle of a net which makes it very difficult to reach far areas in the tent
