Alright, but the problem is I can't find 5000k in nearby shops.. so..I have to use what I've..
And I've one question more, should I start with LST when the soil is dry..? like.. wait some days..?

Yep, not too many people use that high of spectrum, so most local stores won't carry it. I had to order a bunch of them online, worthy investment though, as I've been using the 4-5 I purchased for the last few years for vegging purposes.

i read somewhere it's best to do any tying down about 30-45 minutes after a water. makes em a bit more supple. i found this to be pretty true, but even days i hadn't watered, they still are easy to bend

Hey, I did´d today, subscribe, Is it right..?

no...........first transplant up. and you have no nodes to expose. why bend it now? re-pot and bury some of that stem. when you have 5 nodes...........bend her. you are attempting to expose lower nodes to light. you have none.

oh..........imo

i forgot to add....in my opinion, so i added one.

Jump on in there with it...no time like the present...just bend it over whichever way you want it a few times a day and it will start to grow in that direction...then once that is going I will stake down the resulting branches...

just a tip..when u do get more CFLs (which i hope or u might as well give up 1 is not enough) lay them sideways..ur only getting 1/3 the lumens vertically and make sure u have those CFLs within 3ins of every part of ur plant. GOOD LUCK..

yeah you should bury that stem more , and imo itll be better to get atleast 5 nodes but its not going to hurt it at all if you do it now,especially if your going to do a short veg, also ive heard that the extra stem growth that is in soil grows new roots not sure tho havnt done it my self yet.

If your only going to have few little lights this run i wouldnt veg too long maybe start 12/12 at 12" Or 2-3 weeks after it has entered Veg stage
