No worries, no like you'd offend me over that mixup. There's so many strains out there, who can keep them straight?
I'd have fun with LST your SB, that's for sure!
This is my LST method if you haven't seen it: Antics Perpetual Learning Experience (Direct link to the LST post, not a shameless plug)
First I'd start working the two longest tops down. Great tops too, I freakin love 'em! I'd work those down over the course of a few days until they're lower than the other tops, which I wouldn't LST yet. I'd let it grow about a week, maintaining the same setup, biggest tops lower than all the other tops. Then I'd work my way down the plant, LST'ing each node below the two biggest tops to bring them level with the first two. After another few days to a week, I'd do the next two, and so on. I always put all my LST ribbons on at the same time, and then adjust them as needed as she grows.
But that's how I'd do it. Keep in mind that I like a short, but wide plant, with as even a canopy as possible to take advantage of as much light as possible, since I'm not using extremely powerful LEDs (150 w draw each, two lights, 7 square ft area)
I think once you start with the two biggest tops, and start working them down slowly, you'll see things that I can't in the pictures, and you can just let your creativity go wild, and make that LST project your own. As long as you're on 18/6 lighting, you can Veg her as long as you'd like, until you're totally happy with the plant you helped take shape, and then you can make that big switch to 12/12 and let her take care of the rest!
During stretch, I keep all my LST ties on the plant, just to maintain shape, not to make major adjustments, only minor changes, half inch here or there to keep things level. I leave the ties on eh. for maybe about a month or so after the switch to make sure she holds her shape, then start taking them off one at a time. If I release one and a branch goes way up above the canopy, I keep that one on until a later date.
But just have fun with it really, make it your own, train her with your own vision of how you'd like her to look, and be shaped like.
It's such a good smoke! I have such a hard time resisting going into the cure container and sneaking a few buds. There's nothing like a good Sativa to make you so happy that your eyes feel like they're puffed up and smiling for two hours straight.
Here's the strain at Herbies: ! World of Seeds Strawberry Blue Feminised Seeds - Herbies Seeds
75% Sativa, 25% Indica. I would totally grow this strain again. Well, I am lol. I'm on the 2nd generation now with two plants, and plan to clone her again as well. I freakin LLLLLOVE that strain.
But just go have fun with it! Enjoy yourself, and all aspects of the grow
Its funny and there is a lot to learn from it. Itll be great to try them out in such a way that I can choose which I prefer on a given day. Im liking how this is working out.

I encourage Y'ALL to also read the original link, It has pictures
This was such an awesome post. Thank you very much.
The best I can tell, she has the top two main branches and then she has two other branches below that, but at the moment, thats all the branches I can see. Thats what I was thinking was to pull down the top two, let the others catch up, (and hopefully encourage a few more to start), then start bringing them down, too. Thank you.
As a follower of your journal, feel free to plug it whenever you like. Its a great journal.
I am doing my flip very slowly, as I have to keep Thelma in mind. I know the light doesnt make a lot of difference to her, but I bet a 6 hour shock of extra dark might make her skip a beat, so Im increasing the darkness by 30 minutes each day until I get to the magical 12/12 ratio of light to dark. Give Louise a little extra time to veg and then she gets to start flowering too. I started that yesterday, so today it will be 17/7.
Im very excited to have examples of all three cannabis strains at once in my tent. haha Strawberry Blue - sativa dominant. THC Bomb Auto Indica dominant with ruderalis present.
I was thinking earlier that as much as I like the fast grows of the autos, Im probably going to end up gravitating to photos because itll be easier to find sativa dominant strains to grow. Its my guess that I will like the sativa the best. Ill get to find out for sure soon.
Thank you very much for stopping in and keeping an eye on my lil lovelies. I appreciate it.
Man, miss a day and this journal flies! I couldn't stop with rep points! The plants are getting to the really exciting stage now. That THC Bomb is going to amaze you. I want to begin to encourage you right now to commit to letting a decent portion of it cure three months before you smoke it. Not all, because I can guarantee you that you won't be able to completely stay away, but try to keep the biggest cola locked away. You won't regret it. Taste and smell both changed dramatically and the potency was easily twice what I consumed earlier.
I'm going to really enjoy watching you get excited while she fleshes out.
I've already decided to run this strain again. Best baked buds ever!!!
My African Buzz is a pure sativa. Sooooo excited about that. I think the only time I smoked a sativa was one incredible incident in college. Best part is I have another seed. Yahoo!!!
I dont know if those girls are excited but I sure am. I see more and more pistils everyday. I remember way back in the day -- a week ago -- I was pawing through her leaves hunting all up and down her stem for pistils and now they just pop all over the place. I couldnt be happier. Ill do the same with the Strawberry Blue, too. I was just looking at recipes, daydreaming and drooling. hehe
I pulled down her two main arms today. She looks pretty awesome. She kinda reminds me of Pippy Longstocking for some reason. lol
