  1. is there such thing as to early when it comes to LST? I've seen ideas and guides but can not find anything in reference to too early. What if someone was doing a micro grow could they LST it to the side as soon as the stem is 3 in long and bend a bread tie in the shape of a " U " and pi. The stem down horizontally because I imagine the seedling would be fine and the leaves will then back up towards the light regardless. Just wondering.

     
  2. go to my profile i made one a homeade Lst pot on my thread is come see my micro grow box everybody

    there's a bunch of ways you can Lst
     
  3. lol didn't answer my question about is there such thing as to early via my post, however since you took the time to ask I'll check your grow out.
     
  4. any ideas still wondering. Lol
     
  5. I've been using clones, but afew days after transplant i start. Pipe cleaners work awesome...I cut them in half. My pots have a rim so i bend a small hook, hook under rim, bend down branch and bend the pipe cleaner around it. I think you can start now with no issues.
     
  6. I'm no expert, so someone correct me if I'm wrong. But from what I read if you're starting from a seedlings you should wait until the 3rd -5th leaf set is formed. I've read different opinions on wether to start at the 3rd or 5th. I guess it depends on how strong the main stem is.
