If you're going to tie it down, I recommend doing it when the top of the plant is still a couple of inches from the edge of the pot. From what I can see, it looks like a good time for you to do some LST.

Final stages of Veg! Am I missing anything
Heading into the last 2 weeks of Veg, are there any suggestions for things I should consider doing to help maximize this amazing grow so far. First ever attempt at super-cropping, and it’s my 5th indoor project. Never had such a low lush profile. Looking forward to Flower

Snapped a branch. How worried should I be?
Snapped the main stem during LST, right below the main cola on SLH(just starting flower). Braced it with ducktape and propped it with some bamboo. At this point, everything else looks fine, so I'm just pretending it's not there. How worried should I be? Anything else I should do?

What leaves are ok to remove?
Hi! Is it fine to remove the upper fan leaves on this plant as well or should I wait thill the side branches get bigger leaves? I removed the lowers leaves after LST so nothing touches the soil, but some of them are blocking a bit light for the new growth. Thanks!

LST during flower?
LST during flower? I'm pretty happy with the size and shape of them, except PPP3! However I'm not sure if I should continue to keep them as short as possible, or let them just grow up now. I've never used LST before, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

LST clips
Am I using these clips right? The branches are aiming downwards and literally laying on the clay balls. I did try to bend the clips out a bit so they're not bending at such a sharp angle but they've gone back to shape. Is this going to damage or stress her too much?

LST + SOG - Should/could I remove the LST ties once I place a trelace net over the plants? My plants haven't grown upwards much due to the training/tying down to the pot... A tent and filtration are enroute to support operation, prior to flowering...

LST during flowering?
is it OK to keep bending her main stem over during flower? It wouldn't be a big deal but I am running out of room to keep raising the light. She a good 4 inches above the rest. See Day 34 pic

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?
I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think. 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?

I know I said I'm out of grow space. But this plant is a complete bonsai I messed up good I think lol. If I keep her in veg?
Quick question...could I turn this bad girl into a mother plant? If I keep her in veg and clone, plant her outside. Or make a grow tent just for her? The main stalk is twisted like hell and I'm continuing the pull around the pot...

LST - How far down should I pull the stems? If the leaves touch the media, too far? Try and go down as far as possible without breaking? Or just as long as the upper leaves aren't casting shade below?
