Hoping to get some feedback on how the LST is looking so far-I’m sure there’s room for improvement here.
So I want to bend the top over even further?
I know I want an even canopy as a result of the LST, just not sure if it should be bent over more now or if that’s something I do further down when more growth happens.56F49DF9-55F5-4699-BE8D-1FEC5A272459.jpegBEA9E475-BF73-4D2F-BF05-77F1E0212F1B.jpeg

Maybe try a side shot...to see the bend or lack thereof.
You can squeeze and roll the stalk between your fingers nearer the bottom from opposite sides and this will weaken the stalk enough to allow the plant to actually bend without breaking. Crush the shit inside but don't split the outer surface.

LST can be a daily thing so get your hands in there and start bending it.

Someone had mentioned the “squeeze and roll” to me, but at that point the main stem seemed much too fragile. Beefed up some so I’ll give that a go tonight when lights come on.
But I do want much more of a bend in the plant than what it is now, correct?

It's your plant you get to determine how it looks. LST is meant to help lower growth catch up to upper growth and create more main colas. Do as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

If you don't feel comfortable bending the main stem more now, then don't. There are always more side stems that shoot up and you can practice more on those.

If I'm going for a bunch of bud sites...I just top once and fim around the plant like 2-3 times and they spread nicely. Tie downs are cool if you know what you're doing, but I think I'll pass on putting my medicinal plants in a choke hold lol. Look up Welcometothegrowtent on fimming, food for thought. Peace!

You basically want to bend it so the tip of the plant is lower than the middle of the plant, which will redirect auxins towards your lower branches. young plants like that you can almost pin them down completely sideways and they handle it just fine.

A progression of LST to flower of my Lemon Auto. Tie down, tie down, tie down. Just constantly pulling down the tallest parts of the plant and getting them tied down. It continued to be tied down after flower but you get the point.

Gonna step back in here for some feedback on my upcoming schedule. Tomorrow I’m planning my final transplant, I was planning to add a trellis net a week later, and flip to 12/12 a week after installing the net.
Just checking if that timeframe works to flip lights after the transplant, not certain if they should be left alone a few weeks after a transplant.
LST is going well, but have some tidying up to do tomorrow1B535DD9-1F7D-442A-8F7A-F1432E468213.jpeg
