Hello, As soon as your plants have between 3 and 6 nodes. Many growers start training as soon as the plants have between 3 and 6 nodes or a pair of leaves. During this first stage of growth, the still flexible stem can be bent without the risk of breaking, even though as the plant develops it will become increasingly difficult to bend. We can continue to guide the growth of the branches throughout the entire grow, even during flowering, which is a big advantage at this stage compared to pruning, which is not recommended at all once the bud formation begins, as it will indeed stress the plant, delaying the harvest. I hope this helps you, happy growing 🤞😊

Hey gardener! For good training, it's better to wait for a few nodes, like the fifth one. You need 2 strings. With the first one, pull the base of the trunk toward the pot, and the second one pulls the top of the plant down, so it's better if it's neither too small nor too big. https://www.growweedeasy.com/low-stress-training-lst . Good luck to you, bella ciao!

I would wait until you start to see side branches start to form. This youngling only has one node and training her just yet might be a bit too soon. Are you going to top or FIM the plant? LST can have many many many different ways to be applied. What type of training effect are you after mostly?
