Quite Foolishly Treading | | was curious about how soon you could start LST; before 3rd internode just confused the poor things, resulted in bent plants and no lateral development.
facing growing tip away from light, gave laterals more light and got better growth. By the time the top had turned up to light, laterals were half as big as it.
pinning plant horizontally for a foot produces good results, but you have to plant to one side of pot, bend it over gradually by applying force in middle as well as top of plant to spread load. by the time the top was across the pot and allowed to grow upwards, the line of laterals behing it were up an going.
i love LST, gives you a sense of control. lol nigel
