Hey guys hows it going.I have this lil bagseed grow going.I transplanted into 5 gallon pot on day 28 from seed and started tying down on day 30.originally anticipated to veg for another month but they raise price per kilowatt by an extra 7 cents where I live every summer and i didn't take that into account so I ended up switching light cycle on day 35.

But my question is,would it be more beneficial to continue tying down or just to let it go as is? (Day 5 of 12/12)

Leave it alone. Once the plant is into the 12/12 cycle You don't want to do anything that will cause any stress. That can make the yield and quality suffer.

Thank you,ive only tied down two of the side branches since the switch but that was only to allow the main stem to re-obtain dominance,but I'll definitely leave her as is thanks again

You can totally tie it down without much problem. I personally wouldn't put a bend in the plant(a sharp bend, smooth is ok), but just tie it over, try to keep all buds at the same level. Won't stress it.
Lookin nice tho bro

Yea I was curious about that because it is lst.I ended up deciding just to let her go at it though,if I tried to bring that main stem back down to the same level as the others now I would probably snap it just because of how thick and stiff the stem has gotten.

And thank you,Im ready to see how she does when it's time to pack the weight on

You could bend a little every day, if you were worried about snapping it. But either way is fine. The difference won't be that great on one plant.
Edit: Oh, and I have snapped several plants before, and they still grew pretty well, even snapped. MJ is a beast plant

Like you said it probably wouldn't make much difference either way.since it's my only one I don't want to risk my heavy handed ass snapping it haha

True that. You could try out some cfls on the sides for some extra lighting if you wanted

I actually think I'm going too, I've thought about putting just two for side light but now that youve brought it up I think I might go ahead and add the 4 spare 23 watt CFLs I have laying around
