I've scrogged, topped, cropped, bend and pinched, but first time LST. Loving it so far.

And I take it that your plants should be in their final pot for doing LST.

Not necessarily. You do have to remove all the hardware, and rebuild it in the new pot. Obviously, the the more extensive the hardware, the bigger the hassle to put it back. When they're still small, though, there won't be so much hardware yet. I started my current LST in small pots, with only one or two hooks. Then, more elaborate in mid-sized pots, and finally to the bigger pots.
On my last grow, I couldn't get the light as close to most of the buds as I would have liked, because that big-ass main cola got in the way 
. With an even canopy, I figured I could get the light closer. LST works like a champ for me.

Nice. This is One type of LST called bansai, looks like you got it down.when I bansai I drill small holes around the top of the pot and use a combination of string and twist ties and it works well. U can even bend in the opposite direction in a week or two and fill out the other side if desired and then grow a very bushy vertical plant. Topping can also be considered LST if only taking a top node and not the whole top branch of at the level of the side branches, I like to HST as well with bending all branches in the desired directions and filling in the gaps creating a wide bush like this pic, also minor defoliation to give the inner nodes light to grow into sizable new tops, combine all of these super cropping techniques and you have monster cropping

Hey guys. Lst is the shit. Seriously... its never too late either...i didnt start lst till just before (and into) flowering. Im still doing it. As branches spring up, i.tie them down. Ive also got some.very interesting plants that were topped and retopped like 20 times, the resulting bushes were then tied to horizontal.strings, much like a vineyard. The string are canted at a slight northward angle to.allownlight to hit everything. Additionally, every one ofmy branches on the "normal" plants (untopped) is perfectly horizontal, causing even the innermost buds to grow consistently with the outers. Additionally the buds look.great because they are free floating, not stuck.to.the side of a stem.. Everyone.is.perfectly.round. Im.trying to upload pictures, but my stupid phone wont let me. Grrrrr.
Anyway, if your not doing at least some sort of lst, or are losing.weight.

Great thread. I am definitely going to LST on my next grow. Those huge canopies with multiple colas look so amazing.
