labifleanswered grow question 6y ago Hey gardener! So this is how it's done, now you shouldn't rush things or you'll never dance. You have to wait for the plant to grow bigger because the goal is to create a bush with the lower branches. When you do LST, all the branches are at the same level, but the top of your plant will keep rising every time it grows, so you'll have to LST again and again. I know this because we made the same mistake. Bella ciao!
