first LST

Have an anchor (something making sure the base doesn't tilt, pulling from the base in an opposite direction as your LST) and LST from a point closer to the top. You want the stress to be in the stem more than the root system.

At that point in veg, you should be able to get it at a 90-120 degree angle. I wouldn't worry about the leaves touching the soil, it should react within a day or two.

My recent LST (first week flower):

This is my whack at LST training and I'm pretty sure I started early
Cause I'm noticing a slow down in growth should I keep the string tied like this or should I only do it for a couple hours then cut the string ?

Is it okay too do topping before th 6th nod?
