Alright , you can also bend your plant right over, from the top and tie it down with wire ties or wot ever u want, this gives theplant a bushier shape as the lower branches catch up to where the plant would ave been, good luck##:joint:

yes u can bending/tieing a plant down this is LST= low stress training i believe u can start LST early but i havent tryed it yet plan on doing it soon my plants r about 2&half feet tall i think u should wait depending on ur grow room ur plant is 4 inches rite how old is she? 1-2 weeks? u might wanna think about more light later in ur grow and whats the N-P-K in MG moisture control? u might wanna stop feeding them if they r less then 3 weeks old

Yes mate u can bend it over when its that small, The taller it gets the more the stem will begin to strenghten so there for it'll b harder to bend over and may just snap. If your've got an idea of wot shape you want ya plant its best to start training it when its young an supple. Also if u start training when your've induced flowering it may stress the plant, so ya plant will put less strengh into budding and will b trying to recuppurate all the time,, where as im sure you'd rather have aplant putting all its efforts into growing u some fat bud, well i know i would, good luck:joint::hump:
