When do you start LST

[Shovelhandle]

I've grown outdoors and used LST to keep plants low profile. Indoors it's to try and get maximum yeild from each plant under 400 Watt HPS.

Outdoors I might tie it down after it broke higher than the natural hide-behind stuff. Maybe 2-3 feet.

Indoors I start at 12-18". I see other folks with lower than 400W light may start LST shorter. What are other ideas?
