Any hard and fast rules for deciding when to start LST? I plan on doing SCROG later on but would like to tie down branches before then. On Day 19 with 4 nodes so far.
I would wait till your side branches are between 7-10 cm. Then they are not that fragile and you have sth to work with.
I like to cut off the first two pairs of side branches as soon as they show, when doing a scrog. So she gets a bit further away from medium and for better air flow.
Much success 🤞and
Happy Growing
you can start After the third real leavepair shows.
Usally plants are ready for lst after 15 days since germ. if she is at least 3mm diameter stem !!! and 3 pairs of leaves
