Are my plants too little for LST?

When should I start LST my plants? They are coming up on being there weeks old and I was thinking I'd start soon, but I think they might be too small and I'd hate to hurt them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated? And thank you!

As you are growing Photoperiods, you have all the Time you want to. And yes wait another Week But Girls look good and it will be an easy Game to tame them, They show agood Internodial Distance, and growing vigor You may Top them now and start Lst next Week Cheers and happy LST

A Good rule of thumb is 6 sets of true leaves (count from 1st set of serrated), all healthy means you should have a decent root structure...nub them down then to the 3 or 4th node and they should rebound pretty fast. Give 3-5mm over the node to help stopping the main stem splitting when doing LST. Look like you only have your 4th set starting...give it a week or so and you'll find the plant is much better to handle the stress with less of a rebound period. Hope this helps in some way.

I like to wait until there are at least 4 nodes before I start lst. Seems like you are almost there, maybe another 5-7 days. When you do start lst, make sure you anchor the stem so you don't put strain on the root system when you are bending the main stem. Happy growing.
