I'd start a good lst training when your plant has reached at least it's 4th - 5th node. The benefits are the same as as topping except that instead of stressing out your plant by cutting it you bend it over and trick it into thinking that something happened to it's main stem and that it needs to send energy to the smaller lower sites to help them grow and become the new main stem.. If done right you can end up with multiple main stems shooting up with little to no stress on your plant, in turn slowing down the growth as little as you can for a faster and bigger harvest! Happy growing!

The point of it is to spread the plant out. Create a wider more even canopy for better light distribution to all bud sites. U can start really whenever u feel comfortable. Alot of people wait till 4 nodes worth of growth. The plant is stronger and more developed. So more to work with. When to start is more matter of personal preference. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Bending branch I decided to bend the branch to form a bush.The stem was quite thick and when I bent it, I formed a large bend radius, but the next day I noticed that it took a sharp angle. How bad is it, and if it's bad, how to fix it? Thanks in advance🙏

whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer Hey everyone,. I need your opinions on whether I should transition her into the flowering stage or wait a bit longer. I think I may have trimmed the main stem too much to the side, and I'm a bit worried. The pictures and the video is in my diary if you have a look I'd be glad

Hi Grow Community! I am trying LST for the first time. Plant is about 14cm hight. As far as I know I need to bend the stem until it's horizontal with the soil. But the stem of my plant is already so thick and solid. Does it need to be rly horizontal?Should I try and bend it more?

So we are at 4.5 weeks standing about 6.5 inches. Is it to early to start training? This is a strictly outdoor grow so mother nature is in complete control of lighting. Sun up 6am sun down @ 10pm roughly. Temps range anywhere from 75°-95° F daily & 65 -75 @ night humidity 70-90%
