Hello RIU. My little ladies are 16-20 inches tall right now and was wondering if it is too late to start training them if I am gonna start flowing in 2 weeks and if space is not an issue should I be doing it. I've never done this before.
Thanks in advance

Absolutely not too late - never to late. BTW see my signature. Good luck and have fun.

Heck I was tying down my last grow a week before harvest to keep it out of the lights. Just dont break, bend only.

I read a lot about LSTing before I started my 1st grow and decided that LST was the way I wanted to grow. One thing I did that really helped me out with the whole bending thing is when you do the first transplant into it's "forever home" put the plant in at a 45 degree angle and as it grow towards the sun it's a much easier bend and you still get the whole "auxin" (sic) release from the plant.

I realize you're close to flowering but you can use this info moving forward

ive always been a fan of LST'ing. it only makes sense to get the most out of ur plant..so why the f wouldnt u? its not like its super hard work like packing 60lb bags of sand around or digging ditches. tie them down, tape them down, pin them down or hook them down, it just dont matter..it takes like 10 seconds to gain yield on my crop??? count me the fuck in!!
lately strain depending, ive been lst'n and supercropping the same plant for the entire 6week vegg and been pulling some huge harvests. i wouldnt recomend it if ya dont have a lot of room in ur flower room, but if ya do the reward is awesome. some of the plants i had 3-4 coffee cans sitting under the main branches to hold up the 10-12 10 gram colas they r rockin. so i hold true to what i say..when in doubt, bend her ass over!!
