Definitely too early for any topping or bending wait until the plant has atleast 5 sets of leaves check this out for details on LST techniques https://www.growweedeasy.com/low-stress-training-lst

In my opinion- yes. You should wait til you have 4-5 nodes at least

LST advise
Just a quick question about my LST: By checking my last 3 photo uploads do you guys it’s working good? I’m not sure since it’s the first time growing and using LST. I’m quite confused with so many leafs popping up and I’m not sure what’s the next step. Just wait?

I did an LST last time, but I'm not sure I did it right. Can you please tell me, given that the lateral branches are already very active, but the trun
should I do an LST in a 4-5 days? And maybe some tips. Last time I anchored the plant from the bottom so that the roots wouldn't come out of the ground from below and the stem wouldn't bend so much, and then pulled the stem over the top, is this correct?

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?
Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

Lst and pk
I think it will be the last question, I’m questionning myself on lst and pk. I know lst doesn’t harm the plant but did I lst too much so that will answer to the question that they’re so f*ing slow or I’m just paranoid. Can I pk from week 2-3 to the last 10 days from harvest ?

First time LST
What can I do to encourage a side stem to grow to the same size/thickness of the main stem? I have tied the top down and tied a stem out a bit to get the light but not sure if I'm doing something wrong that's stopping it from looking like it should, thank you for any help! 😊😊

LST and defoliation
I am trying lst on 2 plants (not in a diary). In week 2, I pinned the main stem down. In week 3 did it again so the main stem is laying flat. Lots of foliage. Should I be removing any leaves yet? And if so which ones?
