Is this proper LST???

[bratattack]

Check out these photos! I'm using tape and dental floss.

Is this the proper way to bend (or lst?) my plant? I held it down by the main stem and then added a string to two leaves that were blocking out too much.

What do you guys think.. did I do it right?!

not to bad ... but tell me .. now I dont hope its one of them dental floss with tast (mentol)

also .. I usealy use something that can "give in" a bit .. and is soft so I dont hurt the stems ..

most importent tho ..
is to start by makeing one or two strings around the bottom of the main steam and secure it/them in the other direction then you plant to LST ..
so you dont unpot/root your plant by accident when you pull it down ..

but ther is a lot of guides out ther .. with a lot of need tricks .. like doing it when you just gave em water to steams are soft so they dont snap ..

also .. when repotting .. clip the strings .. and if you plant on start LST agin (wait a day or two untill plants is`t stressd from the repotting) then plant it a littel off center .. so you have more room to work with (not completly out at the side .. but a few inchs off so you have more room to bend it down agin ..

I could keep on .. ask if you have any questions and do some research

no proper way 2 lst bro. check my grow album 2 c mine b4 n after. i simply tied down all major branches to pot and left stem alone. i c new inner growth almost immediately now that my huge fan leaves rnt blocking sun to inner plant/stem area. LST is jus bending your plant 2 expose those hard 2 get 2 spots 2 more light IMO...

Can you show me a picture, drawing, or give a better explanation of what you mean?

?

yea about right ...

and I can show you a pics of mine when it was small ..





two white nylon strains is attatch to the main stem .. low .. at soil level .. loose .. just around it and back ..

what it do .. is keeping the steam/plants in place .. so when you LST you dont uproot your plant ..

just add one or two now .. not to loose and not tight .. just to keep the plant in place .. like a caming tent so to speak .. if you put all the strains at one side of the tent it will fall ..
