First Grow LST!

Hey guys, I have been doing a bit of research and apparently LST is good to do if using cfl's? my plant stretched a little and I wanted to make the most out of my lights, So I gave it a go! Does this look ok to you?

Looks good man, but it wouldn't hurt to secure the base of the plant stem to the container in the opposite direction. Otherwise, overtime the plant will begin to rise up out of the soil.

Thank you I will do it now!

Yea, you want the stem to come out of the soil as straight as you can before you start your bend. I'd have waited more nodes but that's me and JMHO. The one that is going at an angle will stay like that. Nothing really wrong, more aesthetics, but the purpose of this technique is to force horizontal branches that develop more cola sites. These come off the main branch at a 90* angle . These can be trained to take advantage of openings attracting better light exposure. One still needs the main branch, the vertical trunk-line, supply line. Say a trained branch is 6-8 nodes long and is now horizontal. Each node will grow a cola straight up. Hopefully, there's no branches above this and all those colas get great light, get juicy and please master...

Thank you for the help! I'm gonna redo this in a week or so and wait till It has more nodes. So I want the plant to come out of the soil as straight as possible and then bend the rest? Thanks again

yeah, just for a couple inches. You secure the base of the stem to the container in one direction. Then you bend the top of the plant over in the opposite direction and secure it in place however you can.
