Maybe I am slow here, but why are you doing LST? To me it does not look like you have done any topping. I see no symmetrical branches to tie down. Are you just bending the whole thing over, to reduce height? I don't think they are old enough, if I have missed something here. And yes, thin branches are ok, as long as you dont break them.

Heya Ice_R, Nothing to worry about, I prefer when they are younger because the stems are more flexible and forgiving. You will find once the plant grows and thickens it will become harder and harder to move the branches. Cheers,

They'll be fine, they should be super flexible right now which is actually a good thing

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

Did I wait too long to top?I just topped, main-lined, and defoliated. The stem is about the thickness of a pencil, and the nodes are very tightly packed. The reason I waited so long to top was because I wanted to clone the cuttings and give them to a friend. My question is, did I wait too long to top?

Did I do this right?I did some LST and I have no idea if I did it right or not. Lol the last picture is a before. I had just tied the top down that time. This time I moved the fan leaves so the lower bits can get more light and I'm not sure if that was the correct thing to do. White widow auto.
