my biggest two first but when I notice there growth in two weeks I did two more but my last three below were my last and where done in a emergency state. The plant really does let you know what it needs.

These three right here, were my last to change into bigger pot, I got super busy with work and I came home one day to find three of my seven plants drooping ...I notice that the roots have hit maximzie space in there pot but the soil that I started them with has been sold out everywhere and I havent been to the dollar store to pick up bigger pots so it was literally a emergency transplant in my kitchen and I had to use the soil for my new little ones and make it work but I saved them and they were back up and out of shock in two hours after the change of pots. The root system is pretty freaking awesome i got to say. but they are re potted in a twizzler storage bin and a rubbermaid bin but I would appreciate advice on what to do first to make them bushier...time is tickin.

LST first so you can lead the main grow tip around the pot and you wont stunt growth.

When you get the desired amount of tops or run out of room, top that main tip (clone that top if you want, i did) and watch your baby bush out even more

I really dont understand why you would top first...you can start LST really early (3-4 weeks in if not earlier)...topping thay early however will probably stunt growth

Here are my babies that i LSTd first then topped when i had 10 healthy, big tops (they stretch first then bush up and strengthen)
