Should I be starting LST. Been bending to get it used to it but not tied yet

Just needs to be little bigger and stronger that's all. There's no point bending it until she has the strength to push those younger shoots up💪🌱👍

The worst thing that can happen if you LST a plant too early is that you'll mangle the leaves and maybe dip them in soil, which will burn them from fertilizer/nutes. To reduce the risk, i think the general rule is 6-12" with 4-6 nodes. But in practice, the general consensus is the earlier the better, but that's about how big it needs to be for first timers; after you've done it, its like riding a bike and there's no real controversy: earlier is better (I started LST when my plant was 5" tall). It isn't really controversial or complicated. Some growers add a twist like pruning the lowest leaf (or leaves) on the side that will be pulled toward the dirt and that can make LST'ing a short plant easier. Just pick a "how to" and follow it. Its very, very easy to do once you get the hang of it.
