New Grower Can I bend my plant?

[jayjaymozza]

Hi all, my plant is 5 weeks old and is starting to touch my light bulbs causing it to burn alot of leaves, is it possible to bend the plant over or a little LST on it?

Hi Jayjay,

Yes you can bend the plant. There is actually a type of growing called "Screen of Green" where wire mesh is used to restrict vertical growth.

Okay is they a guide to bend it? Can I sog it now?

You can bend the main colas but it has to be done slowly.Tie a string or piece of yarn around the stem and bend it slightly and tie off the other end wait a day or so and pull it down a little more.Do this until you have it where you want it,

My plant is a autoflowering plant will this matter?
