Burmeseanswered grow question 6y ago Hi friend,First,I would say itβs alittle bit early to do LST.And also you can water your plant from opposite side of the bend and avoid those leaves area.You cannot get leaf rot that easy.Last thing is you should also have to counteract the LST from opposite side.In that way, your plantβs main stem will not fall over to the bending side.Happy Growing.. βοΈ
