I would echo some of the other responses here and say that it's a bit early to start LST - which is why your leaves are touching the soil 😊 Typically, you want to wait until the plant has about 5 nodes (intersections where the 2 branches come out of the stalk). This will give the plant enough time to put some distance between your lowest set of branches, and the soil. Doing so will help avoid potential leaf rotting issues. I recommend letting them straighten up a bit and letting them put some space in there before continuing. placing objects and such in the pot only makes things harder as you go for watering and relocation if needed (usually not planned but does happen, from room to room or place to place). You can take a look at my current diary for GG#4 auto if you'd like to see an example :) Cheers mate! /Canadian_Cannerd Hope this helps!

Hi friend,First,I would say it’s 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 plant’s main stem will not fall over to the bending side.Happy Growing.. ✌️

Hey again, You could wait a bit more before starting lst but , I would leave them like this for a while and tuck those leaves away when the plant grows a bit more so it has enough leaves for photosynthesis ✌️🌱

Take toothpick and place in soil below the leaves that touch it.. Should hold it up until it gets bigger. - Place as many as needed.
