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!

Hello Cultivars! Second grow for me and I'm looking for some advice. How long do "you" LST? I have had several conversations on this and figured I'd post the question since I'm new on the platform. TIA! Happy Growing

Wann und wie mit LST anfangen?
Meine Pflanzen befinden sich jetzt in Woche 3 und ich möchte das sie nicht hoch sondern buschig wachsen. Ich habe Pflanzenklammern die 90Grad biegen können hier. Ist die schon bereit? Oder wäre eher Topping die bessere Variante?

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?

How to do LST when flowering has begun?
The plants keep stretching even 3 weks after the flip and it will grow in to the light when the flowers start to beef up, what would be the best way to do some lst without snapping the hard branches

How do you measure your plants correctly?
When measuring the height of a plant do you measure from soil to top of canopy or is it the length of the main stem? MIne are trained sideways.😎

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?
