Do I untie?

I have implemented Uncle Bens fimming and tying down for more horizontal and bushy growth. Do I untie what I have tied down before flipping to flower?

Thank you

I'd leave it tied up otherwise much of your work will just straighten out in a couple of days.
Think of it as a Scrog without the screen.

And welcome to RIU.

Thank you GWN

keep it tied up this way the ones that aren't tied will shoot up through the ones tied down and they will even out with the rest and fill in your canopy of growth..

I know this question has been answered but I thought I'd elaborate for kicks.
Like the other 2 said, you must leave the plant tied down in order to reap the benefits of LST. By thing the plant over to a 90 degree angle you allow the light to be evenly distributed amongst the whole plant, thus causing each branch to "think" it's the main cola. And eventually those small side branches will in fact become main colas, so long as you keep each branch at equal height. To maintain that level canopy you may have to tie other branches down/over if they start to out grow the rest of the branches.

Hope this helps. Good luck !

Hell no don't untie cuz, once you get to flower your gonna need to hold a bitch down lol.
