Too early... your trying to train a seedling

Too early... your trying to train a seedling

Should i untie the strings and let it grow normal again ?

I’ve seen videos by some guy on YouTube named mr canucks who does most of his like that. The outcomes isn’t bad if your experienced but since you’re new I’ve worked with plants in a similar manor and the stems don’t develop as nice and the structure of the plant I feel loses it’s integrity. Similar to building structures if you try putting something on a newly cemented Pilar’s it will morph to that particular pressure and cause some structural problems. I’d say just undo it, do some higher stress training like top. Just once. And then tie down the 2 shoots that come from there down after about a week of development and then rinse and repeat till you get the canopy you want.

I watch his vids also! I seen him top very young seedlings also. I’ll go ahead and let up on the lst for a while. Will she bounce back!?!

How high is your light from the bitties? Is that 600w at the wall or an 600w equivalent?

 

[Greenguyzzz]

About 20 inches right now and it’s probably 100 watts. Pic below

Ok cool.wanted to make sure you didnt have it jacked to the ceiling lol. Yea she'll bounce back. These plants are quite robust actually. Taking off the lst for now and maybe a 1/4 strength feeding if media doesnt have any nutes to it, if all other variables like ph are in the green. I was growing and setting up at the same time and had a similar problem, had a couple stop growing around the same size. Root bind and alkaline water (7.8ph) was my probs. Hit it with some ph5.8 water after transplant and they shot off like rockets.
