If I had the time, I probably would have. My girlfriend and I were just leaving for a movie, and I already have the three clones growing, so I just said screw it.

Good eye. Yeah the T5's were crooked yesterday because a couple leaves on the leftmost plant were sticking straight up after putting the rest under the screen. I didn't want the light to scorch em!

You'd be surprised how well some plants can recover.
These plants have a very thick main stem. When it broke, it almost broke clean off, leaving only a small strand of green holding it together. There wasn't much hope of saving this one.

Of course, if you're happy with what you have- thats all that matters.
I know I may not get the results of a 400W HPS setup, however I'm prepared for that, and I'm just enjoying the grow.

I find that by doing some LST early in veg, the shoots aren't so stiff by the time they hit the screen, and are easier to train :twocents::
I may have to give earlier LSTing a try in one of my next grows. Thanks for the tip!
