Thanks! I’ve been doing everything I can to learn and educate myself during this experience. It’s been a fun rewarding challenge! With this being my first grow I wanted to ensure the best possible route to a successful harvest.

As for trimming and LST, I have done none of that as I missed the window to safely take those steps. However, in my readings I’ve come to learn that a lot of growers won’t actually trim their plant but rather “bend” the fan leaves downwards and allow the weight of the bud sites to weigh down those fan leaves naturally! This will allow the energy that’s stored into those fan leaves help provide energy/food to the plant during the photosynthesis period.

I’ve allowed the plant to run it’s course naturally and I feel from where she was to where she’s at now, I’m very happy with my decision. This is all based off personal preferences, so please proceed with whatever training techniques you are comfortable with!

Good luck to you and enjoy your grow experience!
