Did I LST this right?

[Jengablaze]

Hi guys first grow here just wanting some tips on my attempt at lst.
It is a super cali haze auto from short stuff at day 20. I know some people say not to train autos but ive seen enough evidence on the grow journals to give me enough reason to try. My question is, looking at the pics below could any of you more experienced growers shed any light on whether i did it right? I used a piece of electrical cable and created a horseshoe into the soil to pull the top of the plant down. Do i need to add another tie opposite the top but nearer the soil or is what i have here good to go?

Thanks in advance guys

Not sure why the pics have rotated like that but you get the idea.
Thanks everyone

Looks good to me Jengablaze, although you may want to possibly tie the bottom part of your stem to the side of the bucket to avoid up rooting, I don't think its needed with an auto due to the short life span.

Thanks CA i will look at doing that today. I never quite understood why people tied the stem side but you just enlightened me so thanks!
I know the feeling about training autos isnt a positive one but ive seen some success with LST so thought i would give it a go.
Thanks man big help

Anytime! I have only once had a plant uproot abit in a 5 gal but the girl was easily 3 months in veg, another in the ground that uprooted but easily remedied that with a good 6"~ top soil. I don't really put the bottom brace on my girls anymore and all has been a o k I am waiting for a little warmer weather in the following weeks to experiment with my first auto bean, definitely going to go for the lst!

Nice! This was a freebie from attitude i believe. Funny thing is i never knew it was an auto and germed it with 3 photoperiod strains! I have a veg room (converted fridge) and a flowering tent but im stuck as to where to put it as the other girls will need to go onto 12/12 lol. Might just have to veg them for a long while and top etc. Still taking all this stuff as a lesson though to be fair and any bud will be gratefully recieved! by the way good luck with the autos ill let u know how i get on.
Cheers bro

Free beans here also, got to love em! You could keep that auto under 18/6 with the veg chamber and she will surely finish up with them (if room is acceptable), although will need different feedings of course. Keep us updated! Thanks for the kind words mate hope these girls work out in your favor

Most seed banks offer free seeds with any purchase. In my case, I got 20 free seeds, unknown strains, with any purchase of 10 or more seeds.

I've never grown autos and 'm actually LSTing for the first time this grow so I am learning from you right now. I'm still trying to figure it all out. Regarding the cut, is it the small one just left of the main stem? If so, it doesn't look very deep. I would tape it up and it should heal just fine.

The seed bank I used is not a 420 Sponsor, but they are Holland based and the seeds came in a white envelope inside of a 4"x6" white padded mailer. They had two stealth options, wallet or pencil, I chose the wallet.

My bad, I mixed up the OP's issue with yours. D'oh! A prime example of the consequences of trying to be helpful when baked. Auto flower plants flower on a predetermined schedule as opposed to photo plants which can be vegged for indefinite periods of time before flowering.

I don't really see any significant damage so I'd let it be for now. If one or more of your branches need support, then you can tape up and/or prop up those branches if you want. Cellophane tape is good as you can see how the repair is progressing.

is this a good set up for veg. its my first cfl grow

 

[David Bowman]

You've got it surrounded pretty well with 127 watts for one plant which sounds good to me, the K rating is good for vegging. I'm currently running 250 watts / 14,000 lumens @ 6400K, for my 2 small babies.
