AsNoriuanswered grow question 5 years ago You grow Hydro, i grow soil.
Had best results when most of LST training was done, before first heavy lolitop, pruning and defoliation sessions.
I try to train with minimal damage, only 4-5 days before flip i do now heavy trainings if i grow 5-6 weeks veged plant, or two waves on 5-6 week and again before flip.
My first LST bent is very heavy, but that way i loose only one or two big leaves, all other is just tucked to expose branches.
I love my girls , try to harm them only when i know what i want to achieve. Tactical damage works well for me.
