Do LST or not to do LST? That is the question

Salam LaBerlinesa! 👋 We meet again, Habibi! This is a great question. You are right at the transition point, so let's look at the Modern Engineering behind LST during flower: 🛠️ LST is all about controlling the canopy shape and managing the "stretch." Since your girl just showed pistils 3-4 days ago, she is entering her pre-flower stretch phase. For the next 2-3 weeks, she is going to grow fast and try to reach for the light. ☀️ The Strategy: The Stretch Window: You want to continue LST during the first 2-3 weeks of flower. This is your last chance to flatten the canopy and make sure all those new bud sites are getting equal light. The Hard Stop: Once she stops stretching and starts actually building/fattening the buds (usually around Week 3 or 4 of true flower), stop all bending. 🛑 At that point, the stems get hard and woody, and if you try to bend them, they will snap. Stress Management: Like @Ultraviolet mentioned, plants can only take so much stress. Bending is low-stress, but don't combine it with heavy defoliation or nutrient issues on the same day. Give her a day or two to recover between adjustments. Keep gently tying down the tallest tops until the canopy is perfectly even, then let her build those rockets! 🚀 Happy Growing! 💚
