My LST, need some advice

[harris7]

Here is an LST that Iâ??ve been working on for some time.
I began tying the plant when it was quite small and trained out two side shoots in one direction.

Then I topped the plant 10 days ago and have been training everything else since then.

Iâ??ve counted at least 30 growth tips but the majority of them are quite small around 1 inch long.

The plant stands 9.5 inches above the pot in these pictures so you have an idea of size.
It is a clone, of champagne, and rooted late august and has been vegging since then (stunted it by putting it in chicken manure, I know I know bad idea)

Iâ??m wondering as to the result flower with such small growth tips would bring. I obviously want some nice colas. Would waiting a week or two greatly increase yield (more than any other week of vegging).
It shares a 400W MH with 8 other much smaller plants.

Pics 1 and 2 are from the day I tied it
Pic 3 gives a look some of the bends
Pic 4 shows all the little growth tips Iâ??m talking about
Pic 5 just a overall pic of the plant

thanks

I would give it another week to recover from the training and topping and flip it into flower, the sights will fill up a little more in the first week or two of 12-12 IMO.

ya the plant grows a bunch. ive read that it doubles or triples in height.

from your experience is that doubling of each growth tip. so mine are around 1 inch, would they grow to two inches. or would they 9 inches and double the height of the plant?

the plant was about 14 inches tall b4 bending

[BlueBear]

The growth tips can triple depending on the strain. Just remember to stop training after the first 2 weeks of 12-12, unless you don't have the room, if it's tied down to 9 right now, it could get to about 15 or 16 in after the strech, but like I said, this also depends on the strain.

oh size dosn't matter ive got room for up to 4 foot plants

[BlueBear]

Then I would defanetly un tie after the first 2 weeks into flower and try to keep that 400w within 12 inches and closer if possible.
