Hi, I'd wait till you see a few more nodes and a bit more growth so you have something to LST. You can 'top' for increased yield if this is something you want. A few others you can do is; FIM Supercrop But i'd wait till you get a bit more growth, also when flipping to flower when you decide too, you can defoliate the big fan leaves blocking the bud sites. But don't go overboard, after the 3rd week in flower the stretch and new growth of fan leaves being produced stops. If you're struggling have a look at my diaries and see the effects LST, TOPPING has as there is before and after pictures. Any questions, message me and i'll help you along. Hope this helps. Nice looking plant so far too. Goodluck

Some light training pull the branch down don’t snapp or tear skin and the new growth will growth up it’s not two much stress she can handle it go check my purple berry kush diary I started her training in week one of flower I also topped her and fimmed her multiple times with pistols showing and she grew in to a beast I would do it in the 1st week don’t let it go in to the 3rd week to get this out the way she goner stretch so all your inner branches are goner grow toward the light

LSTing can start at any time. I use plant ties or gardening wire with a soft outer case. My first LSTing on plants usually start by tying back some main stem fan leaves as they usually get in the way of side shoots trying to get some light. A plant tie us used to tuck it out of the way (Leaf Tucking is a method of LSTing).

Yeah I would top or fim then the lower shoots should grow up then start with lst and training topping will give you more shoots and sidebranches to work with

Before you do any training you should take care of the climate- 45% humidity is to low for vegetation and the plants grow SLOWER, also kicking back from HST, TOP,FIM will take longer and stun the plant, also it's old enough to start training. The devil is in details ;) good luck

Sure, LST away. Actually TOP it, the effects will be inmediate, it's easier and it will promote more the lower branches to catch up

You want to start LST before the stems get too stiff and woody, its good to LST when they're. In their final container or space because then you won't typically have to adjust it. It looks like your stems might be a little short and hard to tie down but some peoples lowest form of LST is just taking the main stalk and pulling it over and securing it. :) Happy growing the plants are looking strong already.
