I've been reading/asking a lot of questions about LST recently. the common concensus is that you want to do it in the veg state when the plant is around 6-8 inches tall or maybe a little taller depending on how strong the stem is. google LSR and marihuana and you'll get the guidelines and see many people bend different ways. I found a guy on here with a nice pic of his bushy plant and wrote him a message , always look for those who have proof of what they're talking about.
