How to LST Properly, Help?

Hey guys, basically i am just interested on how to LST as i am wanting maximum amount of big bud as possible

If you have anything to say about LST then post up

Here's a photo I've found researching LST and some photos of my LST attempt under CFLs.

As soon as you posted this i instantly understood what i need to do! thank you so much

Gidget Nailed it.
To add, some phenos and strains dont perform well to LST.
keep it in mind.

Any recommended strains? do auto-flowering seeds go well with LST? Thanks

No problem. Good to know it was helpful.

it seriously was haha i cant wait to get started!!

Dude, that is some good work on the LST!!! I dont know what i did with my LST, i think i started too late, at day 29. How many cfl's are you running and how many plants you got under them?

I got 3 26w 6500k for one plant, but i dont think that is ennough, what do you think? I have been thinking about getting at least one more in there.

thanks

That is bad info, you are just exposing the lower leaves when training to get them to produce larger flowers

Any plant that is healthy will benefit from training & will increase your yield as well

I can't remember what lights I used in the end, If you click on the leaf in my signature it will take you to that grow journal.
It was a fun learning experience.

I'm doing a somewhat unplanned lst/scrog due to my A5 haze stretching above my other strains, but it's working really nice and i think it requires less veg time than the method outlined in the diagram posted by Gidget. I am by no means 100% on that so correct me if you feel the need to.

Anyway I did it by topping for 4 colas and lst-ing the remaining branches so that they were more or less horizontal. I then put a very make-shift screen on top and treated like a scrog.
