First time LST

Hello. The experience I have is very little almost zero. But after starting my LST on 3 of my 5 plants on the 18th day of cultivation, I noticed that the ones that suffered LST started to grow more slowly. But in return they started to develop new branches that were quite small due to the lack of light. In a next crop I will start the LST even earlier, in order to get the BONSAI form, and be able to work much more with the plant. Do not forget that the place where you put the seed is also crucial for a good LST. PEACE Bons fumos 😀

It’s not too early at all, just give the plant time to recover and you should be fine

Hi @Johnny420_pt The idea behind low stress training is to force the plant into the flat shape you want by bending all new stems and tying them down. The advantage of sticking only to bending is it’s very low stress (hence the name) on the plant. There’s basically no chance of stunting from simple bending. However, with LST you don’t have the same full control over the plant’s shape as you do when you actually “top” the plant (split the main cola into two), which makes it very easy to grow a wide and flat plant. Good luck mate 👍
