im not sure why you wouldn't continue doing the lst through out the flowering process, the plants gonna grow and your gonna have to tie it down

You are going to need to arrange things for the first week or two nicely. I would try to bend as low on the plant as possible so that it has lots of nodes sticking striaght up, but regardless you'll want to try to keep it even if that's how you're doing it.

I gave up on LST awhile back and just let them run naturally. Love them big nugs.

Ive had really great luck with pinching the taller stalks about an inch under the crown. but the rougher the pinch, the farther behind it will fall (in terms of height). pinching makes up for it with gigantic knots.
pinch whichever stalk is too far ahead of the pack gently at first, stop at the first feeling of it giving in. this method works very well in my exp.

Actually, I just realized I gave up LST and just started snapping my branches. I guess 'round here they call it supercropping. I'm just too lazy to go out and buy something to tie my girls down with. Yup, don't even want to go out and buy string.

Just pinch and pull and the top falls to about 90 degrees. Leave it alone for a few days it heals up with a big "knuckle" and it usually stays at about 90 and has the same effect as LST. It's a bit more stressful to the plant and does slow it's growth, but that's generally what I'm going for.

I agree with your method for vegging plants, but isn't that a bit harsh going in to flower? do you agree that slight pinching (where the stalk can still support itself) would slow down the stalk allowing the others to catch up?

if your using pots... then rotate them around the room to even the size. if not then just tie them down or pinch

you could also ty hanging some cfl near the shorter side so that they catch up if its a case of that side not getting as much light

if some shoots r growing higher then others, pinch them or give them bend.. it will slow them down so the others catch up and swell ur bud up
