LST Advice

Agent Provocateur · Sep 29, 2009

hey,

im 2.5 weeks into flowering in my first grow, obviously made a few mistakes along the way with my lighting being a bit crap in the early days so now the plants are a lil bit stretched. Im wondering if there would be any benefit at this stage to tie the top flowering branches down a bit, or is it too late?

Just worried that the lower bud sites at present are gonna be at a disadvantage if i dont do something. Or should i just leave the hell alone and learn from experience for next time?

i think she would do fine as shes goin right now, but if u have height constraints or u want a few more tops on there i think it still has enough time and streth for that to work too. i think the best way u could lst now is tieing the top of a branch to the side of ur bucket for a lollipop effect, but i would def. try it with one first to see if she will take it. again this far into flowering it will be a small difference so if u dont want to risk breaking a branch u might want to wait till next time, sry i didnt have a difinitive answer but its up to u, homes

i have had some plants growing to tall so i needed a way to make them more bushy and stop growing vertical so I tried some LST.

Its simple and should give u gr8 results.

take the top branches and slowly bend them back and forth and squeeze the stem until it easily bends over but doesnt break.... very important to not break the stem. only bend it.

you will see all the growth below start to grow more and more and the top that u bent will just slowly bend back upwards towards the light again.

try it on one branch and watch the results. bet it will make u do all the rest of the tops.

hope this helps!

Ok i decided to tie them down gently, i got a bit more to do but im doin a little at a time, think it looks a bit better now i bought the longer stems back down to the lower canopy, wat u reckon the right thing or not?

Many thanks

Nice guide, kinda wish i'd done it sooner as the top branches were really starting to run away, making it kinda hard to get em back down lol
