Grow Room when to and how to train ? joint dr chronic ryder 4x45wcfl day25 pics

im growing with limited height and last time the plants hit the top of the cabinet so im wondering when to start training? these plants are 25days old from germination, i have been low stress training for a week to encourage branching and that seems to have worked, is it now time to bend that main stem over to let the lower shoots fully come through?

any advice apriciated

You could start to bend the main stem down but do it a little at a time like a little every day so you don't break it.

when i have tried just bending it by hand the top few centimeter seem to bend quite freeley, then the middle section almost wont, it sort bends a little above where its woody at the bottom. do i just train it at the top so the new growth grows where i want it to and control it from there? so every day or to i just adjust the training so the more free and supple new growth goes where i want it ???
iv never trained before but i need to in this limited light and height set up so any more advice would be more than apriciated

tied down

think iv done this right?

Namvet is exactly right imo. When you LST the right way, you almost feel like an a-hole.

Hey, just keep on tying them down as long as they grow back up until the height growth stops. For your next go i would start training at around day 10 i usually start at around day 7 depending on the strain and the node spacing. if you tie the main top lower than the secondaries it will force the plant to make the other tops stretch aswell. just my 2 cents -BBG

thanks,
yeh, i thought i needed to start earlier, + i have these long narrow pots you can see in the photo, (just under 5ltr), i was thinking to plant the seeds at one end and start training it along the pot from day 7-10 next time. + got a new vege chamber, should be complete in a week, will try it then when the next seeds go in.
thanks for the input,

if your pots are see through or clear i would tape a garbage bag around them so the light doesnt hit the roots just my 2 cents looks like they are see through pots.

yeh, they are partley transparent and i do have green stuff growing on this inside of them. didnt think it mattered to be honest. iv got some mylar tape, i will go around them with that tomorrow when i have time
