It's fine, top the plant first and then bend her over for a nice even canopy, keep tying the tallest ones down

I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

When to start 12/12Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top.
So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.4y ago

LST and ToppingI am starting to feed them nutrients and they are growing faster lately. I am considering starting LST and topping next week. LST when it reaches 4/5 nodes, and topping above the 5th node. Do you have any tips on how to perform this the best way ? Thank you in advance !

Pistils? Steps from now on?Hey this is my first plant. Went all good till now. Not the growth i had wished for, but im happy.
Day 21 now i see pistils clearly. Isnt it a bit early for pistils, because the plant is relatively small.
How should i proceed? LST? Topping an option or is it too late?
