My LST is in the first week of flower. The plant began leaning initially because the light was not centered over the pot. Then I secured it in the soil with a stretched out bobbypin. Slowing moving it in a continuous circular motion. When it got too tall to secure in the soil I used a file clip to secure the bobbypin down to hold the plant.

first time grower trying lst. 3 og kush and 1 blue dream vegged for 3 weeks and they are on the first week of 12/12. These are crammed into a 2x2 tent with 400W son agro.
I didn't start to lst until about week 2 of veg. I tied each of my ladies to the poles and slightly tilted their net pots. I then supercropped the main tops and waited for the lower portions to catch up. I untied them as they grew because the tent walls were collapsing and squishing them from the exhaust fan. The couple lower branches that didnt make it to the top I took them as clones.
sorry for the horrible pictures. haven't been using the digital cam.

My experience with LSt is that as long as you dont over stress the roots (good anchor at bottom), the plant can take all you can give. Lst anytime as long as the stem isnt hardening. Ive LST'd thru flower. If you overdo the babies, you could break the tap root and stop growth.

Week 6 of my plants.
3 weeks germ/seedling under 40w T12 6500K.
Week 5 of veg (8 weeks all day).
200+ watts of 6500k to 2700k (mainly above 5000k).
I started to FIM and LST when the 4th and 5th true leaves started to form. I also bend them to keep them growing in the right direction.
There are 3 plants in each 3 gallon planter. (For space reasons, this is how i do it and it works our just fine)
The other plant is the runt. I have only FIMed it and will be using it for cloning experiments.
