Thank you for that. I started them off in a "Root It" plug in a propagator and they just grew tall. Newbie to all this

No worries, maybe they didn’t get under a light fast enough. Would be a good idea to start them with a cfl as outside is temperamental. You can bury the stem quite a bit and it will grow new roots as you have a lot of pot space left. I did northern lights sensi last year :p

@Blackadder, Cheers! If i was to bury the stem how much should i leave before the plants first leaf? Would that make LST easier too?

@NewbeeJay, Add a good few inches of soil, too about in between the 1st set and where the soil is now. Take care not too overwater while it grows new roots too avoid stem rot. Will help give your plant more structure for lst, if you Bend in 1/4 stages will be less risk of snap. My NLA went from similar size to yours too over 1m in 10 days it’s the one on my profile pic I did no training on it though

Lst good to start 4-6 node I start bending on 4 and works well on auto’s. Definitely worth it on outside plant too. I’d only top them if there doing really well/ good conditions and getting good light otherwise will do more harm. Lst will help a lot with new sites/penetration increasing the yield. Looking quite tall though
