First auto Grow

[DJK 81]

Hello Everyone,
First auto Grow Pineapple Express. 16 days old.
Can some please tell us bending in the stem normal. It’s happening on two of my 4 plants. All the same conditions!
should I get some string and start training them strait…..
Please note first time growing anything…
Thanks for your help

Put some dirt on it if you want it straight-OR do an LST on it

Thanks for your reply , but is it meant to be doing that? Is there something wrong?

Photo 1 became photo 2.
My first outdoor grow this year. LST means bending-tying stems for more light exposure, creating more bud sites

What size pot

Looks like five gln plant warrior. Should have left more room to bury plant more but would fill it to the brim and put it in full sunlight. Looks like bending for the sun if in a window

Thanks very much for the feed back ….. appreciate it greatly. So I just leave it then…? Also should I start training it now or wait till it’s a bit bigger? Cheers again

Sure … you can start to incremental LST training on it …

Cheers mate really appreciate the feedback …. Really like the fact that the cannabis community help one another it’s really great….
Thanks again

Also that isn’t the only way to train a plant …. LST type of grows can be manifold/ hub , bonzai , etc.
Hell some guys do spirals around pot edge . No rules , just don’t get too heavy handed ( stem break )

Needs more light. As for LST, I wouldn't touch it for now. With autos, less is more and stress is not good. I generally wait 3 weeks, if not 4 to start doing LST.

I'd lower the light. It looks like it could use more.

Thanks , here’s what I’ve done today….
Keep in mind I’ve never grown a thing in my life…
They are 17 days old.
let me know your thoughts.
thus Is what I was told to do at this stage … but I’ve got no fucking clue.
So many conflicting opinions….

That's why it's called LOW Stress Training. I start LST around 14 days from sprout.

I think that’s too early. Why do it so early? The branches do not harden that early. With autos, you’re best off just leaving them in my admittedly limited experience. I wouldn’t touch it until like 3-4 weeks.

The earlier the better.

14 days from sprout.
