No1 even said top it. They said bend er over. Yes u can LST it but its not really gonna increase ur yeild. U do it in veg so the shoots at the nodes grow vertical and become tops, inturn becoming colas rather then side nugs. If u don't give it time to grow up off the stalk then ur still jus gonna end up with a nug instead of a cola. Lst in veg next time to maximumize ur plants potential and the shoots will branch off ur stalks becoming new tops

Ok hold on ..... U say it showed it sex a week ago, but plants grown from seed reveal their sex only after about 2 months... and that plant does not look 2 months old!
Is it a clone? because if it is... It was taken from a female mother who obviously has already revealed its sex, therefor your clone will also be showing its sex very early.. At this stage the plant looks like it is for sure still in vegetative phase and not flowering.. so you can still Bend it ALL u want, Supercrop it (breaking to make elbows) and Prune it ... until you see little buds with long white hairs growing ... u can go for it.....

Yeah man lots of good info and pictures that will blow your mind.
Never top nor fim in 12/12 or 2 weeks prior to 12/12.
Lsting in 12/12 will help you get a even canopy instead of raising your lights to suite one Cola.

this plant is atleast a month old., just put it to 12/12 about 2 weeks ago maybe less.,my camera kind of sucks but., it has white hairs and the very top of the cola is in its beggining stage of flowering., so im kind of scared of topping it., i read somewhere that you shuld top during veg and let it grow out before putting to 12/12..ugh

Yes you can "tie", or train your plants to grow sideways during flowering. Just b careful, and start out slowly. Give them just a small bend at first. I just used some string and bread ties to make make my "tie downs". lol Worked out pretty well in my first grow.Probably added about 40% more yield to the plant.I'll attach a couple pic's to show it at different stages.
Good luck with the grow. Let us know if this works for you,and post some pic's.

trichome pics of my 2 12/12 from seedlings.., look almost there?? see a few amber and lots of cloudy..some clear..just started flushing
Looking at your pic's, i'd say your good to go. By the time your finished "flushing" you should be about a third amber. Should get a nice high going. Good growing.
