the earlier you start the better, IMO Id let her go another node or two and start.. you could have it wrapped all the way around the edge of your bucket or whatever. What kind of space are you dealing with?
Absolutely I wish that I had done more research before I started mine, I would have gone this route. or FIM'd or topped or something lol.. Oh well my ladies are 2 weeks into flower and there looking pretty good as is with only a little pruning here and there. But with an 8 x 8 room your probably better off to set up a scrog or something..
Yeah I usually wait untill about 3 nodes. Two and a half...the earlier the better. When you start LSTing you'll notice a BIG difference. It's like weight training for plants! They just BLAM get nice and big and branchy
