When to stop lst

so i have a lady that i started a month after my other 2 and was experimenting with lst, just noticed a few pistils forming, should i stop lst now?

No if you take your ties off too soon the branches will rebound and your lst will kinda be lost. I speak from experience! When using lst I leave my pipe cleaners on till right before harvest or if the plant pops them off I remove them. I don’t do any new lst when it goes into preflower.

You can continue LST as long as branches are limber enough to bend without breaking.

Plant looks good. Keep the canopy even the best you can when it starts to stretch. Those branches look plenty limber enough to train still.

1 thing i wish i wouldn’t have forgot was to plant the seed on the side instead of directly in the middle

@goldiemouth270 why do u want to plant it on the side instead of in the center? What does that do for the plant? I’ma newbie that’s why I’m asking

im new as well but from my understanding it just helps when doing LST, if u look at the top view pic i posted youll notice how i have a big empty spot in the pot and the plant is hanging way over the edge

It’s so you can plant it on one side and pull it towards the other. I never remember to do it either.

This shot of a rootball is pretty good example.


Underneath is the planter it came out of.
That is exactly as it grew.
