Hey Hungry,

The reason for LST, is usually because of
A- space restrictions
B- keeping a relatively uniform "bud canopy"

As was said here, you LST by tying down the plant... its stem, its secondary growths, etc. Slowly, but steadily... you tie it down more and more. It gets "trained" into these new shape/position.

I saw a pic once of a cannabis plant, with a 360degree loop in its stem. No bullshit. Just a clean cut, loop in its stem.

How early? As early as you want buddy. Just take it easy with her. Try and not "bend" or "snap" a stem. If such a thing happens, you'll go from LST to HST (High stress trainning). Not the end of the world.

Best,
