This is my plant at 2 mths 2 weeks, i know its spindly and not very leafy and thats because when it was a sprot i kept the light to far aways, but i figued id post un update. Ive got nothing better to do
from what i understand the plant will double or tripple its size when you flower. So it depends on how big you want your plant, or how long you can wait for bud
LST - Acronym for Low-Stress Training, the technique of manipulating the branches in order to reduce plant height, expose certain branches to light, and/or distribute hormones to lower branches of the plant to encourage larger buds.
If you top it it will bush out and cause more buds to grow. Topping plants forces them to stay short and bushy. After toppiong let them veg for another week and change your lights to 12/12. Your plants should just about double in girth and produce better and more bud for you to enjoy.
Thay are ready for flowering now but best to top then flower.
If you want,, study up a little on lsting,, if you decide to do it,, take lots of step by step pix and walk people thru it so we can see how much bud you get.... I would but Im not allowed to grow for a while.......................
you can take a look at mine in the topping debate. I have pics of my plants that were topped and branches were tied down. Extremely impressive results. I will never do it any other way again.
