isnt that why your LSTing? so the lower buds can get more light? Becuase thats what LST is really for. Yea you can control your plants height too. Bend your plant and the hidden buds now see the sun....whooooo

The point of LST'ing them is to get as many possible GOOD budsites as possible.

Anything below the canopy of GOOD budsites getes removed to "juice" up the upper buds that get max light.

LST is to hit lower budsites with more light that is usually covered by the tops/fan leaves

LST = low stress training

Its basically training the branches to drow out horizontally before vertically. That way light hits the entire branch and not just the top of the site, therefore creating more bud sites.

I am going to use it to try and get my entire canopy (top level of the plants) all an even height so when I put them in flower its a level field of buds.

The longer I veg the more I want to try and scrog.

this plant is fucked. Its been in flower for nearly a month. Had it vegging for a week or so before then. Only grew about an inch. Got it as a clone.

So many problems. It was beautiful when it was young. I dunno whats up with it. It'll probably yield 2-4 grams. hehe

edit: sorry for the horrible pics
