Question about LST

I'm trying Lst right now and I had 2 quick questions.

1. I know lst is low stress, and stress slows the plants growth, how much does lst effect the speed of growth? How much longer can I expect it to make my grow?

2. I'm using string to tie down the main stem to the rim of the pot and the string always seems to anchor itself on the nodes where my preflowers ( those little white hairs that grow out) are growing. Is this bad for the preflowers?

anyone??

I need help from you advanced lsters

1. It doesn't really slow the growth but rather spreads the growth out evenly too all the chutes instead of just the main one, so it'll just take a bit longer to veg. For me it took about 6 weeks and finished in a 3 gallon pot.

2. I used string as well and I never had problems with the preflowers. Your ties are under the nodes right? If they are then they shouldn't even be touching 'em.. and if they are it shouldn't matter.. that's not the bud. Make sure you leave enough slack on the knots too because the stem will be getting fatter.

theyre sorta sitting on top of the nodes

i'll tryn get a picture up
