Is it wise to continue LST when they start to stretch?
Stretching question?

Absolutely. I keep doing and adjusting LST about 2 maybe 3 weeks into flower

Yep. They love it. You will notice them slow down, but I agree with PopAndSonGrows, 2-3 weeks for the stretch. You will be glad you did. Even when they don't get super tall, they stretch in every direction and you can take advantage by exposing more sites to better light with LST.

You probably already reached harvest considering this post is 6+months old but yes it's a very good idea.

I remember seeing a similar thing as a child at the London dungeons the whole place terrified me haha.
It was full of old torture devices from a different time!

Yep, I've had to train all the way into mid to late flower trying to keep all the bud equal in rank... ( The plant gives special priviledges to the highest top---I believe is equal rights so keep them all even)
important note: As the plant progesses into mid to late flowering, the stems stiffen up greatly and can break easily, so be very careful training an older plant. The chutes that were once bendy and flexible turn into something as hard as wood. I've broken a few even being careful....

Yep. And the shitty part, when you break a woody branch with a fat bud on it, it's not gona heal, you've very likely lost that branch/bud.

I've taped up whole plants. Even when completely severed. Tape is our best friend in them situations.
