Is my plant starting to bloom? Does this mean I can’t expect any more growth and should I stop with the LST? She‘s at the end of week 5

Pre-flowers is not flowering, it is just an indication that flowering proper is about to commence, usually in roughly 2 weeks time. She will still grow some more and I would stop with the LST and let her do her own thing from now onwards...the less stress the better. Keep feeding with "grow" nutrients and don't change to "bloom" nutrients until there are small budlets starting to form, probably in another 3 weeks. Your plant still needs adequate nitrogen right now to help with any stretching and to transition to the flowering phase. Whatever you do, do not cut any more leaves off, she will NEED them to make the energy she needs to grow her flowers. You can still do LST up until the second week of proper flowering without harming the plant, so for another 3-4 weeks from this point, if you really want/need to.

Yes your plant is starting to flower/bloom. Is it an auto? Auto plants start flowering really early. I personally would stop with the lst and let the plant get some vigor going. Durring flower expect your plant to grow 2x to 4x the height of the plant before flower.

Hey, im pretty new too👌 I would stop anyway, let it grow. She not that far for week 5 and u have limited time with Autos. On fems i wouldnt do LST either in flowering, my mentors tell me to let it grow in flowering, since time is running then and you dont know how your plants will take it

That's quite the LST, it will still grow into flower then bulk up. Good Luck!

You're still gonna see vertical growth for about the first half of the flowering stage. Some stop LST now and let vertical growth take over and others keep training. Typically depends upon how much vertical and/or horizontal space you still have left.

some autos will do thisd unfortunatly mainly when kept out doors in my experience but I've seen it happen indoors to it can be caused by stress and I think mostly its just a genetic problem with that seed nothing you have done I don't thing but could be stress from training.
