Hello All,

Been many years since I posted here, wanted some feedback on LST on LR2's. Its about 5 weeks since germination, and about 2 weeks into flowering stage. Wanted to hear from experienced LR2 growers if I should perform LST at this point? To my understanding from germination to 60 days is harvest. For some reason I think its going to be between 60-90 days from germination. Also would like to know what techniques would you use for LST at the current stage of this plant. Attached are some pics. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

H2O

Sorry, I forgot I did have it set to private. I fixed it.
Here is a shot I took tonight. It's about 9 days from harvest. I did LST on this auto. When it was about 18" tall I bent over the top and secured it with a small bungie cord. I'm certain that if I had not done this, yield would have been lower. I recommend running as flat as a canopy as possible at all times growing indoors.20181101_010614.jpg

Great auto!

I top my auto very early. I know most say not to, but I yield .5-.75 oz more when I do.

Also can you tell from the pics if there seed pods? Just wondering if I can be lucky enough to get some seeds.

As soon as the 4th set of branches are there, I'm topping...

If I know the strain has good side branching I top early. If not I let 3-5 nodes go before topping. Here's my little tip to lst auto guys. I ALWAYS cut the first node off. So if I want 2 nodes, I let 4 grow and cut the bottom and top node off at the same time during topping. That first node almost always stays smaller in thickness so I just chop it and the others get much bigger.

Here's my example of when I leave it. You can see the other 3 are much bigger.
