This is what can happen in only a week or 2 if you dont check the tiedowns. The first pic shows the tying using rope and wire twist ties and the following pics show what happens when left on too long. It hasnt affected the plant but it is easily avoidable so you may aswell prevent it if you tie in a similar way.











You can see it didnt hurt the plant though

These plants were Fimmed and then once the new branches started to grow the lower branches were cut off and the new branches trimmed up as they grow. Then a few weeks later when the plants have grown and the branches are strong I start the tying down process (LST). Basically I just tie the branches down every few days to get them to grow the way I want.

Thank you, M Blaze! :hug: I just got to read your reply now, and started LST on one of my plants last night. (Photos are twelve hours apart; the top is already pointing up toward the light.) I haven't pruned it in any way yet. Just tied it over, and my plan for that one was to tie it completely around the 10" pot's edge. My NL has a lot of secondary growth already, and I was going to prune for new branches before tying that one. I've got four plants going at this time (six mature plant limit, so I need to maximize as much as I can because I eat more than smoke; need more for that), so I'll put the one I started the LST with last night to flower first so that I can harvest one plant while the others grow much larger before flowering, staggering them so that I end up with a six plant perpetual cycle; aim is to harvest one plant every two weeks. (The four I've got going now are 4 weeks from seed.) But this first one I'm going to just LST without pruning, so that there's less time till I'm able to get a plant harvested and stop paying for crap weed! :lol:

I know there are countless ways to LST plants; pretty much as many ways as there are growers that do it. ;) Seeing your trees made me see how I can maximize my legal limits, and I've been taking notes from your posts. They'll have to be nothing more than good-sized bushes until we buy a house (in the next year or sooner) and have a full-sized grow room. Then I'll be working toward trees like yours. Or at least inspired by them. :lol:

You are an inspiration to many, but I'm sure there are many medical users like me who are beyond grateful to see how much we can make the most of our legal limits from your examples! :hump:

Don't picture M Blaze's trees when thinking of LST. ;) I don't have that kind of space, either. :lol: But in my grow space (2'x4'), I've got three gallon pots (10" diameter), and all six fit very easily in there with room for fans, etc. Tying my plants will allow me much more yield and much more height control (I've got 5.5' vertical room for growth, but would rather not have them that tall if possible). I can control how wide my plants get by controlling how I tie them. The time it would take for my plants to get 10" taller will be the same amount of time it'll take for them to grow 10" vertically, spiraling around the edge of the pots. So they still won't get any (or at least just barely) wider than the pots are already, yet all of the lower bud sites will get much more light and therefore larger & denser. More yield, same amount of time, same amount (or so close it won't make much difference at all) of horizontal space, and less height allowance needed.

LST is all about maximizing small grow spaces. :hump:

I'm not trying to be a "know it all" :lol: nor tell you how to grow. :mrgreen: Just some food for thought, as limited space is what brought me to LST. :D

Insane growing! so how much total light did u use? 2400watts 4 x 600's - lets say you used 2 x 600's 1200watts would ur yeild be half?

Yeah there was 2400 watts and the yield would be almost halved with 1200 watts. With 2 lights I would have just grown 2 plants for a total of about 3lbs.
