LST noob

Hey guys,
I decided I wanted to LST my plant recently and it's 29 days from seed and 4 days into 12/12 light cycle. I've read quite a bit about LSTing and I'm a little worried I've started too late or made some stupid mistake. Here's a pic.



Is this ok?

The point of "LST"ing is to have the plant where you want it. "Where you want it" will probably be relative to your lights and space. If you bend the whole thing near-horizontal and have a linear strip of lights above, parallel to the plant, then you'll likely be making more efficient use of the light you've got. If you don't have a linear strip of lights then you can "LST" it to grow in circles or just keep as low as possible.

So it really does depend..

Anyway I think you'll be fine with the timing as it'll take a while for the plant to really start flowering.

Thanks Doomah,
I have 4 23w CFLs above this plant in a square formation and one clip on 11w CFL for sidelighting (hoping to up it to 20w). I'll be looking to put the plant in a circle or some fraction of a circle around its pot. Just wanna get an extra cola or 2 really.

That's probably what I'd do too. Good luck with it!

check out my lst thread in the red link in my sig, its all about lst and has alot of info and help if you need it just ask

Thanks a lot mcpurple. There are some amazing plants in that thread :O

no prob, if you need any help or got any questions you can ask in theri and me or one of the other LSTERS will for sure help you out.

Youll be fine, you can lst pretty much clear up until harvest. It wont take more than a night for the tops to be back up towards the light
