As the title says, this is my first time trying out some LST and could use some feedback. Im not sure if I should try bending em over even more than I have done here, hesitant to go much too soon. Topped plants 12/21
Thanks in advance

If tie up a little higher. And also put a tie on the stump pulling the opposite direction. So you aren’t pulling on roots.
But looking good.

When the top centrical node is lower than the rest, I find explosive growth in all other nodes, I believe it redirects the auxen's
I take the top and bend it straight down and attach it to the bucket

Looks good, but also looks like you need more light. GL

Twist the bottom of stem back and forth with your fingers until it softens the stem up, it'll then be easy to keep level and not buckle the stem.

Yeah I’m only using 1 SF1000, looking into more lighting at the moment. Should I raise the dimmer all the way up and lower the lights?
currently set at 70% and about 18” above
