Lst and nute question

[wightwitch]

Hi guys.
We're doing ok. Vigorous bushy growth. Day 29 today. I started lst about ten days ago.and didn't get a bend in central stem. Lol. More of a lean in the direction of edge of pot. Anyway side branches are growing fast. I've added string to place them towards edge of pot in a direction to give plenty of light. My squat bushy girls now look like leafy spiders. Is this right?
I'm feeding veg nutes. At what point should be changing to bloom please? And when do pk and boost start? Same time as bloom nutes?
I've got pics but I'm embarrassed in case I've done it wrong and I need to go free the girls and let them go au naturelle. [emoji3] thanks again for any pointers. It's kind of pressured with the time thing not being able to waste time and just run an on a bit longer.

Many people switch to flowering/bloom nutes when vertical growth has stopped.

When is that with autos? After flowering has set up and started? Not seeing any what id call stretch as yet. Thanks for reply. [emoji5]

Pics would help a lot in this situation becsuse when to start bloom nutes, is mostly a personal choice. Most start when the preflowers are about the size/shape of cotton balls, and have a good amount of pistils. Pk boosters are a personal preference as well. Some people dont use them at all. But when they do, its ususally once buds have actually formed, or durring the last few weeks of flower. Dont be embarrassed to post pics! Lol. You should have seen the pics of my first attempt at LST. It was comedy. But without those pics I wouldn't have gotten all of the advice I received on how to do it correctly. Hope this helps a tad bit.

Thanks. Aaarrgh. Ok pics to follow. The lights really make the colour look pale. So couple of pics are in natural light. I think they're clearer too.
Flower nutes pretty late then.. not to encourage bud sites... hmmm... guess I've got a while to go yet. Thanks a lot it really helps to be reassured I haven't missed anything.

I'm sort of spreading side branches towards edge of pot. Like a spider. ????? [emoji16] I did read the lst sticky believe it or not!

Toooooeeesss!!! Lol! [HASHTAG]#ToePatrol[/HASHTAG]! Plants look great! Looks lke they are just starting to preflower. You've got a couple weeks before flower nutes. The lst looks on par as well. You've got nice branching and it looks like light can travel down then stem pretty well. You are definitely on the right track!! Thanks for the pics! That helped alot!

Yup. Looks great! Its hard to compare to other pics because of all of the variables.. Lights, medium, temps, age ect.. Yours are green and healthy and you dont have fan leaves that are blocking bud sites. Spider plants are good. She will fill out.. Trust me! She will look completelt different a month from now!!
