Hi. I started LST when I had 6 nodes ( 6 tier of leaves) just be careful you don’t snap your main stem when you bend her over. Good luck. 🍁

I will give it some time then. Mine has 3 nodes and not fully grown. I will wait for 4/5 fully-grown nodes.

What about poneytailing leaves for better sun penetration instead of trimming them ? (kinky post)
It probably exists but I've never seen it. I poneytailed leaves instead of defoliating them, since it's their ultimate food suppply. Mostly the big ones not near the buds, can I do that on the main bud leaves ? Anyone uses this technique ? Is that a bad idea ? Did I over do it ?

When is the proper time to discontinue LST? I am still spreading and tieing down the tallest shoots, when should I stop, or release the tie down, or should I just keep them tied down the duration? Thanks in advance!

How to stop bending properly?
I got a 100% valid information that it is better not to band my strain at all. How to stop bending properly? Just remove the ropes or some more stretched approach?

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?
