Both good LST and scrog technique is about horizontal distribution and vertical equalization. What this means is that your goal is to provide equal light to all parts of the plant. To do so, you try to spread the foliage out so that looking down you can see all parts of the plant fairly equally, and then looking from the side, the lower sections should be brought up, and the taller sections should be brought down so each part of the plant is getting hit with light as equally as possible.
