Am I doing LST right?

Hello, this is my first grow and these guys are just getting into veg state. I want to make sure I’m doing my LST correctly. I’ve done lots of research but I’m still anxious. If anyone can give me pointers much appreciated! I will be transplanting into FFOF 5 gallon in a couple days.

Your LST is fine.........your soil, not so much.
Also, why didn't you fill the pots with soil?

Hello, I have FFOF soaking in 3 gal fabric pots that I will be transplanting these guys into in a couple of days. I will cover the stems more once I do that.

You should have just waited until you transplanted to start LST.

Just ran some water over it to eliminate air channels and to moisten up the soil a bit

Unnecessary -

FFOF only needs more perlite snd maybe a scoop of EWC to fully round it out. A lite wetting is fine but not soaked.

Thanks for letting me know. It should be dry in a couple of days. I am planning on adding 20% perlite as well.
