LST questions??

When lst'ing a plant how long should i vegg before flowering?
About how long until i start seeing some pre-flowers?
And im trying to do this with a limited amount of space can i lst with a small pot? cuz im tryn to do alot with a small space lol

preflowers show up at about 5-6 weeks m8 u can lst as long as u like but u might as well do a scrog if u r gunna go longer than 6 weeks.

I have cracked many a seed and they all showed between the 4th and 11th node.

give it 2 weeks to get the lower shoots growing vertical b4 flowering

With limited space I would change my light cycle to 12/12 when the plants are 1/3 of the finished height that you desire. Preflowers should come within a couple weeks after forcing flower. And I'd start training the plants asap as well. Hope this is of some help.

I'd start any flowering with clones.
