here's my attempt at some low stress training. i couldn't really find a good guide on how to do it, so i basically just tied the top bending, and the other tie is to keep the main stem from shifting? im probably gonna get made fun of for this one

you did it right. that is what LST is. Just tie down whatever you want. More bushier less height. Plus if you have a branch growing much taller than the others you can just tie it down too. Good job btw.
 
thanks, i wasn't sure if i did it too late though. i just did it tonight, i thought maybe you had to start way earlier.
 
Also, as you bend the top down, try to get it lower than other buds.........kind of like a candy cane. Getting the top of the plant lower than the lowest bud will make the hormones transfer down the stalk to these buds........in essence creating a new main cola.

Of course my first attempt does not resemble that, but above is what I take it to be correct..........below is how mine turned out. I think I started too early?

Just random pics and not the same plant/strain.

i got a question, here is my journal... https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/126925-my-first-grow.html#post1562831 ...my plant is 2 weeks about 4-5 inches tall, should/could i start this now? or soon? i am trying to figure out when to transplant, and when i do the pot should be big enough that i could tie it down to the side...but my question, does it matter if the leaves are bent down and touching the soil? i dont wanna crush the leaves, im scared to do it but i would like to cuz bushy=good for me...plants not women, of course...
