Help with LST Please

[uncledoug]

Hi everyone, This plant is a Blue Mystic Auto, I bent the main trunk a while ago and that's it so far, I would like to get more colas but not sure exactly what to bend or if I should? Attached is a photo of it. Today is day 28, it is 8.5" tall. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

While you are asking about LST- this plant would do well with just topping it and using LST to pull branches away from the center and creating an even canopy.

Weed Pharma knows - exactly what I would have done.

Thank you Weed Pharma for the link, great job explaining what to do. I topped her yesterday and didn't even kill her. She's looking great this morning. Guess I was really tired yesterday morning because I didn't see your post till this morning after Doc mentioned it.

Hi Uncle Doug,
I have no experience with autos but you might want to read the tutorials and search the site on auto training before you do anything drastic. Also, search Mrs. Google. She knows everything!

I'm certainly not an expert, but I had no trouble with LST. If that were my plant I'd gently bend that main stem over toward one side and secure it down. Then I'd Google LST geometric shapes. Then I'd start building a spiral. Happy growing!

Keep pulling down and tieing around the top of the pot,round and round u go raising up a little with each pass, sort of like a stairway to heaven.

Good looking plant! Just pinch off the top node (i.e. a little HST ). That will encourage colas to grow from the sides (which you can then train by pulling them out away from the main stalk). You will be amazed how well it works. But do it NOW. If your auto isn't showing preflowers already at day 28, it will by day 29, and it's good to get that taken care of sooner rather than later.

I used to grow autos and that always worked great for me. Good luck and have fun.

Which is what I see now WeedPharma said in the first place.

I wait till the stretch to start lst. jan11. Just leaf tucking feb5 stretch starting.
feb12 started lst top pulled over, branches spread out. I did top around the 8th node back before lst begun.
2weeks later, defol a little.
3/15. Every strain is a bit different, this is how I practice lst, just leaf tucking till stretch.

Poor girl didn't get out much. Stuck in a corner all day, ended up fat and chunky. Nice mini photo timeline, Jibblerjoe

That seems to work very well for you. I may have to try it your way.
