AsNoriuanswered grow question a year ago Yes , bend now , idea of lst is to play with plants hormones, top most dominant aka tallest or highest at the moment branche gets most. So you lower main, for sides to become tops/ dominants and play like this, branch got bigger, you bend, next one is bigger and go around, usually 12 main tops is max plant can sustain keeping still big buds.
Target - all branches same height, stem thickness, that makes strong and even canopy.
