That is crazy bro, very impressive! If I were to LST a plant outdoors a little smaller than that, do you think they would be more at risk for snapping branches? (High wind area) Do you LST outdoors or just in?

They look great, best of luck this year!

I did something on accident that I'm wondering if any one else does on purpose. I LST'd two very slow vegging Indicas with minimal reaction from the plants. BUT I broke the top like 2 or 3 nodes down off one on accident and it ended up responding the best. Anyone else do this on purpose? It's almost like topping but after 3 or 4 side branches had already started to respond to LST. One side branch from the bottom stretched a whole foot almost which surpirsed the hell outta me. Also there was basically no shock.

Nah, tops gone, changed the auxins dramatically. It's almost like it though. Or mainling a little to, just start late in veg. Doesn't matter, it's interesting what happened after I broke my plant. It's now the best one.

I want to do lst on my plants, should i top as well?
Can I start lst now, I know how to top and lst for the most part.

Its a bad picture I know Ill get a better one when I get home. Its a 17 day old afghani, I see a lot of peoples plants seem tall with nodes further apart. I understand its afghani, but the nodes are so close its hard to get in there haha.

To top , definitely not. As far as lst, u want to bend before the stem gets rigid. That's really the only rule. I wouldn't wait too long. Or you could let it grow up and pinch it. I'm guessing that afghani will take a while to respond to either technique. You'll have to keep it tied down with garden wire or something, or pinch it multiple times.

Fease hit the nail on the head there. I haven't done much LST before but I got some on the go at the moment. I started them at about the same size your girls are and their doing great. So I'd say go of it.

I top at 2 weeks from seed then tie all the mains down to spread her out and bring the tops up. I lollipop and defoliate along the way! All tops with my method! You also need a quality LED and Feed Program !Yummy shit! suckers at the bottom are your enemy! Put all that energy into makin big tops!GEDC2260.JPG

i have been using this method with tent pegs and let me say i get huge yields the max i have had is 18oz per plant that was x 4 plants, ive done this method with 11 plants and got 220 oz, This as to be the easiest method as i dont net or anything i tie the buds up when the plants start to fall over this way the plant gets nuggest all the way to the bottom. i have friend who as got 27oz this way from 1 plant but yeah he is a pro and baby sits them unlike me i just do the minimum.
