hey guys, thanks for the responses...
the little guy is about 1 ft tall, node just appearing, some with pistils (at very top) ... i have it LSTed, so the secondary growth is growing straight up toward the light, and not horizontal. stem is weak,

secondary growth will probably be weird, i'm probably going to harvest it by eye, doing parts of the plant at a time, and letting additional growth (but this is all speculation, hopefully if the stem and secondary branches grow strong enough i will have alot of tiny colas
xblackdogx Reviewed by xblackdogx on . Is LSTing worth it w/ a small stem? My plant is about 16 inches tall, and i started training it. It is already flowering (has been under 12/12 from the start). The stem of the plant is fairly THIN, is it okay that I'm training it? All the branches that will eventually have buds on it seem to be going in the right direction (straight up, instead of growing out and getting blocked by light) How much will the stem thicken in the last 4 weeks of flowering? IF the bud piles on, will the stem even be able to support it? Rating: 5
