Hi there!
I would personally wait for few more nodes to grow before starting LST.
I Iike the results when you bend the plant with 4-6 nodes and after that keep training all those new tops that comes out of this.

LST you can start even in the 1st week of growth. The sooner the better especially if you are restricted by space. LST forces the growth hormones (auxins) in the secondary branches. Might be a bit too early for your plant to get LST (in the classic sense) but you can start torturing your girl and apply some bondage whenever you want.

I've seen people start LST just after sprouting on this site so I think it's safe. Just be very gentle as shes still young.

LSTIs it possible to use the lst method for an autoflowering plant, every time I see that you can bend and fix a branch under the lamp?

How does one LST a FIMed plant? Where to start specifically?What LST method should I use with my FIMed Strawberry Gorilla Auto? Should I try to Tie Down? Do I wait for the top shoots to start showing? Tie just the side branches down? Bend the whole plant? Wait and do nothing? Please, all opinions matter. Thanks!

When to start LST?Hi GD family. I have a question regarding LST on Auto. When will be a good time to start and at what week in vegetative stage?
Any techniques far as creating multiple holes 🕳️ in 10. 2 gal plastic pots to tie them down once big enough to? Or Trellis Net will be ⏰ saving?
