How long LST?

BiteAwaystarted grow question 2 years ago

How long can/should one perform LST? I have one plant in full flower, two are starting, the fourth one seems to take a bit longer.

LST can really be done any time it's needed - the exception being if they're too young (i.e., before they have 3-4 nodes). I've had to do LST on my Tangerine Dream as late as 3 weeks before harvest! She was going to tear therough the top of my tent if I hadn't! When the LST has been in place for a while (couple of weeks?), it will become permanent and you can release it and use the material (whatever you've used) to use it elsewhere... Nice job, btw... the grow looks fab!

LST can be utilized through the whole grow. Since it has a low stress on the plant. The current point your at you will be doing minor adjustments to keep each bud site as level as possible. If anything try to keep the outer sides slightly higher then the center since most lights will have a higher par value.

LST Advice I plan to do some LST and wanted to do it simple like in the picture. But one of my plants is growing very bushy and dense and I'm concerned that I can't tie down the main stem. Is there any other easy way or should I not do LST at all?

What are my chances of a cutting that was only meant to be stretched with LST, string surviving without any root products. Its placed directly into a grow cube, with water and then the mini greenhouse. I have a perfect LED grow light gently willing it on. WILL IT SURVIVE???

Topping or LST after 1st topping Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?
