Yes but it doesn't even have to bend over that far...gently pull her enough to make almost a 90 degree angle...this should even her out with the rest of them.i have 3 plants lst'd right now from birth. i like topping better, but how do you lst a 3 foot tall plant? make an upside down J

Nice!UB I have enjoyed reading all the posts and will be following your instructions. I am getting ready to do my first grow since 1974 and was looking for suggestions.
I have a 4'W X 2'D X 8'H grow space. The walls have an experimental white paint. I will be using a 400W digital, vented hood, MH for veg then switch to HPS for flower. The space will be vented well.
Back in 74' I was given 5 plants that had been started from bag seed and I read a book that mentioned pinching so I tried it and just kept pinching every 10 days or so. 1 of the plants ended up so large around that it took 2 people to put our arms around it.
Yeah, I wish folks would stick to the topic at hand, but I'm also not totally anal about it. Having said that, I used to CRAM plants into a small space. With good quality side reflecting panels, and mobile ones at that, you can probably fit 4 bush type plants in that space. This thread will give you a feel of my typical indoor garden, garden's footprint, etc. : https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/9114-spin-out-chemical-root-pruning.htmlMy main question is how many plants in 5 Gal. buckets would you recommend for my space knowing I will be pinching, and if I were to buy seed what would be a good strain to try. Any other recommendations / suggestions will be greatly appreciated from UB or anyone else.
If this question is in the wrong place let me know and I will move it.
Thanks,

That will do the trick!Bend that bitch over and tie her down....problem solved....lol
This is my girl, topped and LST'd....works great!! Keeps them low and bushy!So i have a new plant and was concerning pinching and LST but can i top and LST w/o causing too much energy consumption to the plant ? if someone already posted can i get some direction to that post/thread thanks in advance guys
why did you say wait for 5-6 nodes ?I really think you should start at the beginning and read 20 to 30 pages Googleing terms you don't know. I'm not trying to be a dick, really. This question is asked even a ways back. I think, I answered it before too . Why did I say wait for 5 or 6 nodes?

This was my post directly before the one you posted.why did you say wait for 5-6 nodes ?
I top my clones every time now. Clone like normal. They need to get a root system going. If you wait for the clone to get 5 or 6 nodes, then top you should be OK. The perfect 4 main colas doesn't always work, but clones have alternating nodes a lot. For me anyway, they do.

I topped first then started my LST. Wait until she has 5-6 nodes and then top right above her second node. This should get you 2-4 main colas. When that growth starts making a move then you can start LSTing.so I have great roots and and just started doing LST should i wait for the tip to peak up before topping ?
Uhhhhhhhh, you're welcome but inducing 8 tops and LST is not what this thread is about.I have no idea what happened, but I now have 8 fresh new tops coming in nicely.. Thanks UB
BEFORE POSTING, do us the courtesy of at least reading the first page and take your LST questions and concerns to that thread in this forum.so I have great roots and and just started doing LST should i wait for the tip to peak up before topping ?
