Let me know if you have any follow-up questions based on the info here!
 
First 'proper' LST....i think....better than the first anyway now that theres reason. Let those lowers catch up! Not sure if you remember my original LST attempt:eek:

Much better age! Do you have something supporting the bend, like a rock? I can't tell if anything is holding the stem straight on the opposite side of the bend.

Yep i agree! No i dont have anything supporting....the stem is a straight 45 deg. Seems so fragile im afraid im gonna break it with one wrong move. The stem hasnt been straight since my first attempt unfortunately this one will need a brace to hold it straight
 
Everything we do in a grow is a lesson for the next one!

So how do you water your plants when its tied down like that on the sides?

This is what i use....has a wide spout so evenly waters the soil. If I use this can and it would drench the leaves

I either lift the leaves and water right from a milk jug or I use a watering can with a long narrow spout.
 
Thanks 780!

@InTheShed is it okay to lst daily to make minor adjustments? Plant seems to be bouncing back quite quickly from it within hours.

Anything that is tall enough to lay down I will tie whenever it's ready. That can be at the same time as the top or a few days later when they start their growth spurt.

As the lower growth starts getting the hormones, I tie them down in a direction away from the main and away from the other branches. I like to leave room to tie additional growth into the empty spaces.

I would think minor adjustments are fine based on his quote. He's not quite referring to adjustments as much as the tiedowns but adjusting the ties to keep the plant level would seem the right thing to do.

Ive been adding tiedowns as well, sometimes one when i see fit, as well as adjusting as needed. Just dont want to overtrain!

I'll let Shed pipe in at this point... probably like I should have before my last post :hmmmm: I quickly forgot this is his tutorial and I may have stepped on his toesies. At least they are on the right legs though.
