you can use both methods. LST first and then once the smaller shoots start to catch up top them all. make sure that you water at least an hour before LSTing, preferably the day before. LST is also much easier to do on a younger, softer plant.

ohh so you can only LST during the Veg phase? my plants are only a week old, i will be transplanting them into their 1 gal veg pot in another week, should I start LST after i repot? Probably 2 or 3 days after incase of shock? I was only hoping to veg for 4 weeks, 6 at the max. Does a shorter veg period matter at all?

thanks for the help
