I was wondering about that myself, I don’t have a net on this grow so I was bending them, I put mine in flower 5 days ago, a few of them are getting way taller than the others, was wondering if I could still bend them now? I am going to bookmark this so I can follow.

definitely, carefully apply LST because the stems get more rigid as they age to help support your future big, sticky, heavy buds. That makes it harder to bend them…do it gradually over 7-10 days, do a little then wait a few days then do a little more.

Alright, so far I just started pulling down a little bit more on my original ties, trying to not apply too much pressure to the stems, It got me maybe half an inch of clearance for now, But will try to gently LST the upper parts of the stem.
After two-and-a-half to three weeks of being in 12 12 your plants will harden off and you will have a hard time bending them over without snapping the branches… so anytime before that time frame you should be good to go , after 3 weeks it’s going to be pretty hard to do it without hurting them…
