LST: How Extreme Can You Bend It?

All my last plants were topped and tied.
I've snapped 2 main branches clean off the same White Widow plant,nothing a bit of duct tape didn't fix (bent beyond 45 degrees with my finger before it broke though).
Try not to bend large angles in one go,give the plant some time to grow into the new position then bend again.
Over time yes you can tie them in knots and crazy shapes.

Word! That is some awesome looking LST's. Come on people. You HAVE to have pics of crazy lst's, even if they failed somehow, show those too so we know what it looked like.


EDIT: Now that I've had time to think about it, this thread would probably be better in the advanced cultivation thread. Not thinking too many noobs have went all extreme lst. Word.

This is a very old thread, but I wanted to bring some life to it as I love to LST the shit out of my girls (space limitation on height). The first pic is of my Hawaiian Frost and the second is my White Russian. They would be at least 24" tall right now, but are about 4-6". They are probably gonna be too big for my stealth box, but I have had to wait to flower. Gonna produce feminized seeds with colloidal silver. Just thought I would share my LST experience.

You need to make a thread for you problem either here or in plant problems. Not trying to be a dick, but this is not how you ask a question on this forum. This is what they call trying to jack a thread.

Sorry to revive an old thread here but I just wanted to show a couple pictures of what I just noticed on one of my plants while doing lst. It's quite a sharp bend and my guess is I accidentally did some form of supercropping while tying it down (maybe, im just taking a wild guess)
