Hey everyone, I've been searching LST on here recently and haven't seen a whole lot of good stuff. Let's talk about it.
I'm new to LST but I've heard of different methods. What's yours? Why do you feel it works so well?
My first time doing lst I followed a youtube video that used scotch tape to tape the leaves down. Lol not a very good job of explaining. Needless to say my girl needed some help standing up straight again. Now I use zip ties, one at the base for stem support and one where every I'm bending. I feel the zip ties are sturdy enough to keep a good hold and I can leave them loose around my plant so as to not cause any damage.
I always start the lst at the beginning of a day for maximum light exposure(I've heard some say right before bed for less stress). I think it's more stress if they don't have the light for strength, but that could just be my opinion.
Anyways let's hear your thoughts..
