Looks good to me, personally I would have topped the plant first to create more stems then LST, but that's personal preference. Just make sure you don't get the leaves wet with any nutes when watering because it looks quite close to the soil. Happy growing buddy 🙂

Nacho, have you topped or FIM'd yet? Auxin based plants need that main growth clipped in order maximize bushiness.
I usually top/FIM after 4-5 nodes appear, then start LST on the nodes that start bushing out. Alternatively, you could invert the main growth (long plastic zip tie works great) to LST, but I hate having to constantly adjust the inversion as that tip will keep trying to invert.
I am about to post some before and after topping pics for my Veg W2 diary.

Y. Now. If you want a plant that leans over.
But, unless skilled and have past experience.
What you are doing. You need to know which way you are going. How that pheno is. Calyx-leaf ratio. And that you can't know, unless u clone u won't know that either way.
But, for likes of indica you really are best with a flat canopy. For sativas what you doing can work. But you'll take up 2/3rds more space growing side ways like that.
And then you'll have to twist the nodes that are growing into the ground.. and they won't be getting any light. So maybe, if your set on doing It like that. Your gonna be constantly adjusting.
You really are making a lot of work for yourself.
Been this is your 1st LST. Or y else would you be asking right?
So, maybe the norm approach would suit you better.
It also makes for a much more hands off approach.
Hone in your growing skills. Then focus on LST, HST, SCROGS.
get the 101s down. That's just my suggestion.
Feel free to DM myself or anyone on here who answers and they'll/I will be happy to help.
Good Growing
And, she's so young. Really, you can wait until she's vegged out for 3-4 wks. Find her natural shape and then LST And defol. But, yes, if you growing side ways.
Maybe you'll be best removing

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?

whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longerHey everyone,. I need your opinions on whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer. I think I may have trimmed the main stem too much to the side, and I'm a bit worried. The pictures and the video is in my diary if you have a look I'd be glad

Bending branchI decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

I have a 1200W Veg/Bloom LED which is currently 20" above Martha. I am also LSTing her and am getting good solid growth from the lowest branches which are working to reach up. I am wondering if raising the light 4-6" and try to stimulate some vertical growth. Is this a good idea?
