A quick question for you LST guys: I've got a limited space with 150w HPS. I've been vegging for 17 days and plan to flower soon. Is this a good, or bad idea? Should I have it tied down before flowering? Any help would be much appreciated.
You can probably tie it down still as long as the main stem still has some flex in it, just take your time and do it in stages over a few hours/days. It's also a good idea to do it the day after you water it, so they are a bit more flexible.
All of my first LST attemps were either untied early in flower (before I knew better) or ended up male. I just started some LST on 4 clones that were in veg and yesterday transitioned 2 of them to single-plant scrog's and the other 2 to caged LST/CCOB. One scrog has been flowering 10 days (but just got scrog'd yesterday), one ccob went to flower today, and the other 2 will get 10 or 20 days more veg each, before they move into flower rotation.
I will post some pics later after I update my thread and upload pics.
