You can probably start now, but unless you're spiraling it or doing something else to keep it low, then you can probably give it another week. Cheers, and happy growing!

Will this tape repair a broken stem?
Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?

Regarding Fimming?
First time FIM for my baby but I’m not sure if I did it right ... There is a very tiny grow in the middle that I noticed today - the two picture are 30 hours apart - did I get it right or did I FFIM lol :p ? Also the plant is still pretty short - should I start LST?

Is my LST done right?
Hi and TIA, following the advice I got from my last question, I decided to do some LST so I bend the main stem... my question is if I did it right? Also should I water my plant after this kind of stress? And lastly I did it just before the lights went out, is that OK?

LST wire damage
I have damaged a little my ladies with this really bad and sharp wire. Should i worry a lot or everything will heal naturally? It's not that the wire is that bad, it's just that i started lst early on and the plant is very soft.
