I dont understand when you are not interested in saving space, or trying to ensure even light coverage, why anyone would want to lst. Im noobish but when i look at outdoor grows done in california i dont see anyone lst their plants. Your plants should be getting sun from all angles. Your light source is on a natural light mover and theres a breeze thats coming from all sides. Those two factors alone would make me just want to grow it all natural.

The goal of LST (low stress train) is to take the primary function of main cola and by bending and fastening you allow other colas to form..meanwhile the main cola still being main will upright herself and grow too..so instead of having a main cola you can double, triple..its almost unlimited what you can yield from one plant..even better outside. Check out my grow journals and you'll see what I mean..I started to LST and will never go back..

So one question. Not that it has anything to do with this thread.
But your a woman right? Doing outdoor grow?

I LST the crap out of my outdoor plants and top them and instead of one main cola and a bunch of lower popcorns I now have 8-12 tops on each plant.... Much better than my first grow with no LST and one main cola.... dont you think.

Ya man, shit is legit!

A side note to the topic of this thread.
I began to twist and crack the stems a few grows back . It worked on all, some more than others. In my first try I snapped off two stems and panicked, clean off the stem, thought i killed the stem for sure, but the stress to Mamma was my main concern, anyway I taped some toothpicks together then taped that to the broken stem and re attached her.. She was mad at first but after about 3 weeks she was back to normal , but now with a huge knot in the stem and that was exactly what I was going for.
I suggest if tried that you tread lightly until you get the hang of it. The stems if done properly will hang limp for about a week but then be right back , i also suggest that you NOT do this is Flower.

I saw your closet grow with the tomato cages and ya man looks really nice and danky, but I grow shorter bushier plants that look like less weight and " girth " but I usually always yield more, given same growing conditions.

I bend in veg as soon as 8 alternating nodes and wait until she's thirsty..much more pliable..but still how do you get 8-12, when I get 4-5? I'm still not with u on that..
Just IMO here, what I would do, (and have done before successfully) is take those 4-5 tops you have, and "top" them.

Those 4-5 will turn into 8-10 tops.
