Check-in- How are we looking? Week 4, Day 2 Questi...

they are happy! 😀 for vertical growth you need to wait for preflower that is the time they stretch up

I've done lst from seedling for the past 3 years in a small 50 x 50cm tent. Best increase in yield I saw was from getting a bigger tent so I didn't have to lst. I now prefer to SOG with lst during flower, if I'm running out of space and supplementary lighting for the lower canopy. I use the whole plant so the bottom bud sites and small flowers go in to hash. The plant wants to produce as much flower as possible anyway. How you get that potential out is dependent on your style. 😁

LST is great and you did very well. Personally, I don't think you should allow vertical growth yet, keep spreading the branches because veritcal growth might create unevenness and your bud sites won't be receiving the same amount of light (which you most of the time, want). On the start of flowering, your plants will stretch and at that point you should allow them. Good luck with the rest of your grow and keep it up.

I keep spreading them out till the stretch for flowering starts. So they stay more of a bush structure. Which will keep them lower, and can increase yield. Especially if one wants to stretch a lot. It won't get too close to light. So I would even lst in stretching just not as aggressive. Goof luck, looking good so far. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱
