Do LST or is too late?

Do LST? When to switch 12/12 light? They are 3.5 weeks old. Now I do leaf tucking.

A little late for LST yeah. Flip them now before you run out of tent. They will at least double in size and that's both width and height!

Oh I always thinking too late Ok so now I will do more leaf tucking and cutting. On friday I want last water with Canna Vega Tera and Rhizotonic and then do 12/12

Very nice grow. I find it never to late to lst or hst a plant. From 8" to early flower i am moving branches. Crusing them if needed all the way to 3wks flowering.

The earlier the better but you can lst or hst whenever as long as they look healthy enough and you dont do too much at one time. But with the amount of plants you have I wouldnt, considering useable space.

You can switch to 12/12 at about 3-4weeks of veg, usually 4 full weeks.
Since there's so many plants in 1 tent, if they stretch a lot you can mitigate the width of it by trimming the lowest 2 nodes at the base of the plant. They mostly give larf and take up a lot of space.

You should introduce canna flores slowly btw by mixing it with the vega bit by bit. Complete 360 to bloom nutes can stress them. Rhizotonic is just seaweed extract so you can actually use it up to the end. They put a pic of roots on the bottle so most confuse it for micorr.

Hey, thanks for the tips! Just wondering – what’s the benefit of using Rhizotonic all the way to the end? I always thought it was mainly for roots.

Also, do you have any recommendations for something that really boosts smell and flavor? I’m running the full Canna line but the aroma and taste aren’t that impressive so far.

Make sure you run some epsom salt in your feedings from right before the flip to about week 6-7 of flower. This is to allow the microbes to make use of the sulfate for extra stink that comes from volatile sulferous compounds (VSC's), NOT terpenes. This genetic expression is muted in a lot of contemporary strains but the potential is there, it's just in the background. So the mag sulfate can set it up to express it if the genetics are there.

On top of that, supplement with molasses and seaweed extract. This is for a couple things, but primarily for more stink boost. Keep up with these two until you chop. If you want to dial in even more, look at a carb supplement in place of the molasses, like Bud Candy. Terp development also relies a lot on the micronutrients, and running humic/fulvic supplements at least through early/mid flower can help for better uptake.

Since I started incorporating this stuff, I've noticed a vast improvement in smell and taste. I'm getting good VSC funk, but I have to break a bud up to find it. Oh, you know it too. That unpleasantly pleasant stank when you break a dank bud up that exists separate from whatever fruity or pine notes it's putting off.

Mine are a bit smaller and I desperately wish to try LST calmly and carefully on this my first grow.
