Hey guys, Got a 12 day old G13's Blueberry Gum fem, was just wondering if this was too small to start Lst on her. I bought this stuff at the hydro store that is like thin wire wrapped in thick bendable plastic and its called Garden soft tie... if it is still to small, how much longer would you give her? thanks alot guys:)

Also, she had the two leaves that come after the cotyledon, the one's that are just 1 leaf with no fingers, but I cut them off because they were all warped.20120403101132.jpg20120403101230.jpg20120403101211.jpg20120403101224.jpg
 
I usually end up starting LST as soon as I start to get serrated leaves..you can just keep bending it over right now in whatever direction you want it to go...just a few times a day if you are already in there staring at it---like i often find myself doing...anyway if you happen to be in there, just bend it whichever way you want it to go...gently and slowly...little by little, and it will start to grow in that direction super fast...and then once I have it going whichever way I want it to go I take little hooked stakes I make and pull some of the branches wherever I want them to be as they start to grow in...then when it looks how I want it to look and it growing that way without the stakes I take them out and put it in flower...

If you want to start LST that small. I would suggest setting your light off to the side slightly so that your plant will initially grow crooked, it can help with your first tie down. Then, you can center the light again and LST away.
