I was just wondering how late is too late to start LST. I couldn't find a clear answer while researching, but it seemed like a lot of people said if there are more than 5 nodes then the stem is too hard. I'm about to trigger flowering of a plant a little taller than 1', but only have about 6" until the top of my box. Should I go ahead and attempt to tie it down or just let it go? I'm worried it will outgrow the box very soon.
You can try, or search "supercropping", its a HST (high stress training) technique, a bit harder to do but helps with space issues.
You can LST on and off or all on or on for a bit and off or off then LST its really up to you and how it best suits your grow take a look at this LST before node 5forum.grasscity.com/outdoor-grow-journals/626232-outdoor-lst-nocalcann-13.html
