Ok, my plants are about 3 weeks old. I started LST 1 week ago when i completely laid down all of the plants, making sure to keep the main stem tops under all of the below nodes in order to re-distibute auxins. The plants have started to develop grow tips at almost every node now.

I heard that the main stem top only needs to be under the rest of the nodes for 1 week to properly re-dist. auxins then it can be allowed to continue growth upward. Is this correct?? should i be able to let the main stem top resume growth upward soon, while still keeping the plant laid down obviously??

Also another thing i wanted to clear up befor i got there is how i control fan leaves and side shoots when they start getting more vigerous. I was thinking of twisty tying the big fan leaves out of the way of the new growth tips, then tying the growth tips to empty parts of the pot and eventually staking the larger ones so they can grow strong and have enough room to fully develop.. I need to know if that sounds like a legit LST program as i have read alot about the tech., but have never actually had any experience with????

Anyone who is interested there are some pics of my LST'd plants in my gro log which is in my signature, called 2nd grow. Thanks to all in advance.
