Low Stress Train Autoflower

You all I really don’t know what I’m doing I’m halfway through week 4 of my FIRST outdoor grow with Girl Scout Cookies Autoflower. I attempted to keep her low and bend out the stem but she’s determined to grow tall. I’m assuming it’s because of the strain but how do I even approach LST training right now? :eyesmoke:

Lol it was a purchase from amazon but it is a 50 watt that I have about 5 inches from her during the times she doesn’t get sun from outside... so that’s bad?

Can be ok... but an incorrect color light can stretch the plants. Even ifnits cloudy... leave outside imo

Its stretched but not that bad.

This is how to do it. Put the stake in at a 45 degree angle and tie the plant to it every 2-4 inches that it grows. They will always try to grow upwards, you have to keep pulling them over. Probably to late for the one you have now, try this next time.

Right yes I made sure that the two LED’s were full spectrum. My situation is this country Canada is very cold at night so I don’t want to kill her and because there was a lil stretch I needed to make sure she didn’t snap in the wind you know. But next time I know

Joe Blow you is da realist thanks for the pic that makes a lot more sense. I think I was looking at more non-auto flower plants so I was getting confused as to what I should be doing... I could also tell the genetics are so I won’t be ordering from “Seed Hub” again

Okay yes that’s what I thought you meant! Um shit I’m not sure I just let her do her thing I guess I didn’t realize I was letting her run wild you know..

if you do lst, just let the plant grow when you do it, do not change the shape every now and then, thats what i mean lol

I was getting confused with how to properly low stress train because I saw a bunch of plants that grew out many nodes and mine is one long stem. So when she was much younger I should have bent her sideways to let her grow? I think I understand how it’s suppose to be done
