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.

I guess she grows like that because of her genetics but maybe there's a way how to 'fix' her? Topped once, strain RQS Triple GPlant. Too short

When to stop LST? (Auto)When should i stop horizontal LST and let her main branches to vertically? i'd say she's well into preflower with pistils popping up everywhere and the smell getting noticable. LST hasn't gone this well in my previous grows so i'm not sure where to end it.Week 5

LST during flowerIs it okay to still perform LST during flowering? I've Been doing some very minor defoliation on tiny bud sites down low that aren't getting any light. I want to tie down some more branches but I also don't want to stress it too much at this stage. Just one week into flowing.Week 8
