the point of LST is to keep the fan leaves from blocking light to the secondary growth, thus increasing yield, (mainly during flower). also to save space. I would prob. recommend to LST once you see the fan leaves are obstructing light to the secondary growth. It also helps the secondaries grow faster, so you can cut ur clones sooner.

Ok,Now we are getting some where.For how old your plants are im not saying you did somthing wrong but somthing just isnt working.I think you should move that fluorescent about 1/2 inch away from the plants .And to me i would not LST untill i had alternating nodes.

Not trying to hijack your thread but here is a picture of my plants at about 15 days old the first plant i started a little LST at day 11 and the one towards the wall i didnt do nothing .If you have any qustions ill be happy to answer.Also im using those 4 ft shop lights just like you but i got 3 .

If it was me yes,Also i would fill the pots up with more soil and cover most of the stem up so it wont be so lanky .Also what kind of soil are you useing (good soil will make a diffrence like night and day.)

Yes get more light in there ,Also the first 2 -3 inchs of each tube does not put off any useable light
