SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! 😍 She doesn't stretch because she is getting enough light! So it is a really good sign and she is looking great! Yes you can still use LST and try to bend all the branches that will develop buds to reach the same height. When you do this your plant is focussing on all the top buds because they always use the most energy for the highest reaching bud. In nature this one has the most chance to be pollinated. And they all get the same amount of light from you lamp! Happy Growing! πŸ˜‹

Oh TeesTrees - You can certainly LST, stop asking and just do it, dear! But I would also pay close attention to Spuwuky's comment because I think s/he is right!

In the world of LST and SCROGing, tighter nodes mean more buds. Nothing to worry about. Looking good!

Yes, you can still LST. I would recommend garden wire for tie downs to the side of the pot. Just be gentle. If you want you can wait an extra week but the stems will be more ridged and run the risk of breaking, especially where they connect to the main stem. Short internodal spacing is generally a good thing though, keeps the plant from stretching too much. Also, I can't tell for sure from the pics for sure, but it looks like you might have some white patches that kinda look similar to early White Powdery Mildew. In your grow question picture you can see it on the bottom leaf. I would take a look just in case!
