interesting used to do somthing similar but i always tend to baby my seedlings once they get descent roots and are about 4-6in tallabout the size of my rooted clones then i start to trainem i tie fishinsinkers on to the top hold it down and in a day u will see the plant pickem up be reaching for the light then i add more weight i think it makes the plant stonger. it suited my grow at the time and i got a great yield of some of the fattest budz i ever grew. by the end they were benchin 300lbs.lol

You should wait, when it gets up to at least 4 true nodes you want to fim top it and then lst the new shoots. Doing it now wont really do anything helpful, let it get bigger and then do what i said before and youll get better results, you dont have any nodes for it to re-direct the auxin too.

iv LST'ed 2 seedlings at day 4, and 9, because they were stretching and i wanted to experiment. havent seen any ill effects, they have thick, fat stems all the way up.
i wouldnt do it personally unless its stretching tho.
 
no see its a lil diff from lst lst u just bend ur plant over im actully pinning mine to the soil using bobby pins starten to fatten up more vine like growing nodes i let her grow a new node then pin it at the top and now on a 2 week old veg seedling ive got 2 true nodes growing on SOIL.....

I did that before the parts of stem thas was on the soil grew roots and rooted. I dont know what kind of effect this had because it was bagseed and I did not know what to expect from the plant.
