I will now have to train 1 of mine to grow in a spiral because that's the image your post put in my head. LolI am new to growing. I have 2 auto plants that are 24 days from seed that I started doing LST on last week. I first tied the main stem down to the back of the pot then like every 2 days after that I have been trying to tie the main stem in a circle around the pot by tying the main stem as it gets a little longer every 2 days around the side of the pot. Is that how you do LST? Do you keep tying the main stem around the outside edge of the pot or am I doing it wrong? Is the goal to try to circle the outside edge of the pot with the main stem or do you only tie the main stem the first time then wait a few days until different stems are taller then tie them down on there?
I have watched videos on youtube and the videos I found look like they have what you do with the first tie down and then what it looks like at the end but I have not really found anything for the middle of the LST the steps between the first tie down and when you finish the LST work on there.
no sometimes you have to LST to suit your space and take into account how big these suckers can get when there being driven on full ppm’s .View attachment 965646

I'm not sure about lst with autos, honestly there isn't really a wrong way if you think about it though. I usually top & go for ring of branches but that's on regs & fems, training with no cutting is not something I've tried yet but I'd say there doesnt have to be a set pattern, train plant the way you want it to grow, most light available to every surface is ultimate goal, how you get there is really up to you
I saw a diagram of that outward radiating spiral technique that a grower was using because of space restrictions, to demonstrate the compactness of the grow and it seemed very effective for exposing bud sites to max light, while keeping plant low and tight. I found a pic of the plant, but I'll be damned if I can find the diagram or site where I first saw it. I'll keep looking because it's a great visual aid.
Not sure about autos, never ran them but you can train regs & fems any way you want mostly as long as in veg & early flower, very little in later flowerThanks. The tent is only like 5.5 feet tall so I am trying to keep the plants from getting very tall in the tent and that is 1 reason I am trying the spiral lst on there.
This is all I could find
Here's another one. The 6-10, 7-10, and 9-10 on the previous picture were just the weeks in it's life I believeThat is very close to the diagram of which I wrote, minus the side view and explanation of what the numbers represent. Can you explain the 6-10, 7-10, 9-10? I'm an old. Thank you.
