Looks like you are off to a good start. Plants look good! I havnt done any lst yet. Only topping and fim.
My guess would be pretty soon.

Are they autos or photos?
If autos, Iād say go ahead and tie it down, just gently pull her over trying not to snap the main stem) to the side of your bucket and give the underside some light to help expand their stretch ( this will also strengthen the main stem for heavier weights).
If photos, you can use the same method as the autos or do the topping/fimming method.
If you top or fim (photos only āsome exceptions ā)
Try to do so around the 3-4 node set on the main stem. Then give about 3-5 days of recovery before tying down the new tops (which can now range from 4-8) to a level/flat plane so that the plantās height is basically the same as the top of the topped area (give or take a inch or two).
Then if you would care too, after the new tops reach their 3-4 node set top them again by the 2nd node to allow for new tops (ranging from 8-16 tops).
Continue this process if you care, but always allow for recovery time before attacking it tooo much (my rule of thumb is 5-10 days recovery after 2nd topping).
Happy growing and I hope this helps anyone.

They are feminized autos
Follow the first paragraph above to give it more limbs to reach towards the light.
