What do you think about my LST technique? I was struggling litte bit because the plant grew rather high. Perhaps they got less light when younger. Any opinions about what I could improve?

unfortunately your technique is not very effective and has not much to do with LST. to apply LST please note that the first step is to interrupt the apical dominance. Start by carefully bending the main stem towards the edge of the container, in your case towards the far side. Use a soft plant wire to fix the stem, preferably to the pot. you can find lots of useful illustrated instructions on the net and also here at growdiaries. good luck.

Keep reajusting almost daily , except after watering, then they tend to break. Use fat soft gardening wires. You target is to break dominance of main top, so it has to be bent lower than rest of canopy, then plant will redirect most energy to highest current top, thats how you manipulate and achieve even canopy. Read articles. You dont understand what LST does.

You’re not actually doing any lst. The top of the plant should be pulled down. You can either let the branches grow out more and then pull them down. Another way would be to tie a rope or plant tape from the pot to the center of the plant. That will be used as a brace. Now pull the top down in opposite direction of were you tied to the pot.

I would wait until they're a little taller. I look for developed side branches and sometimes there's an opening that's that could be filled. Try to imagine it similar to landscaping lol. Sometimes lst helps develop side branches as well. But I normally wait until she's older so that there's more to play with. At this point you'll grow a sideways plant rather than trained. There need to n intent. Practice and envision. Her do you want which nramh to be the main ar what time. You got this. I have a decent amount o training in my grows and diaries

You should better bend down the two branches down on the second node, that are longer... The ones on the top are too little yet for LST, wait 2-3 days... Another thingh: what is exactly your plan ? You can use a mainling technique, that use only two branches.. Or you can use 4 branches, burt here I see 6 branches, so maybe you should cut something more ? Have a nice grow ! 😊
