Alright growmies, time to talk LST 🫡 (that's Low Stress Training for the newer folks watching Frank and the gang grow) instead of cutting your plant to control height like topping, you just bend her and tie her down instead. way less risky if you ask me, I've snapped exactly zero plants doing this lol 💀 The whole point is light. Every branch racing for the top spot to hog it all (apical dominance, fancy word for "tallest branch wins"). Bend the main stem down and tie it off to the side, and the plant think there's no more "top" so the lower branches start racing to catch up instead. End result = way more even canopy, way more bud sites actually getting good light instead of one main cola hogging it all How I do it on mine: - Wait till she got at least 4-5 nodes in veg, stem needs to be flexible not woody yet - Gently bend the main stem down, tie it to the rim of the pot or a stake with something soft (garden tape, plant yo-yos, even an old shoelace works lol) - Ease it down a lil at a time over a few days if she's resisting. Very light crunch as the fibers stretch = normal. A full snap = not 👀 - Repeat on the new tallest branch every week or so till you got the flat wide canopy you want Real talk though, once you flip to flower and stems start getting woody, LST get way riskier. I usually stop any heavy bending by like week 1-2 of flower and let her stretch after that This is one of those "your hand might slip" techniques 👀 (see: every OG update I ever posted 💀🤣) Tune in internetofpot to see this in action on the next grow update and, don't forget to check out Virtual Loco Lens 👀🫡 Use code BroccoliMan for 10% off at seedsman.official
