Hello fellow growers first timer here and was wanting to know if I did this right. I bent main cola over to side and tied to bamboo stick. I did this to 4 of my girls. I took some pictures hopefully you can tell from them. Please let me know if I did anything wrong?

If you didn't break it off, and it's at the height you want....ya done good! The idea is to get the tops of the secondary branches at the same level as the main, and get them filling out.Space 1: 3ft x 3ft T-Tek tent

What HappyDaze said. The first time I LSTd it felt super weird and unclear. But once you see how it responds it makes a lot of sense.2 x 4 x 5 grow tent

Hi CC, This information might help: https://www.growweedeasy.com/low-stress-training-lst
LST should happen throughout the vegetation stage so that you can train the soft, new parts of the stems and get a lot of bud sites to come up and be at the same height before you flip to flower.Anyone can grow schwag. If you want to grow top shelf bud, study hard: https://www.growweedeasy.com

That is how ya do it then strap down the arms. Dang that sounds abit heavy handed but you want to do it while there soft and tender. The bud sites are gonna point right up and grow into colas if all goes well. Looking goodSmoke Ganja create Peace Respect Nature don't trash the Planet

CC, next time start LST when they are still small. So you have time to grow lots of colas. Eventually you want them to look like pic.2Comment

Yeah I wasn't planning on training at all but read that I really should be. So that's why it's a late start but definitely plan to start early next timeComment

Thanks everyone I feel much better about my decision to do LSTComment

This plant was LST trained only and developed 9 colas. 3 months since seed sprouted. I think LST works well.Comment

Next step is figuring out how to support them when the colas start putting on weight. They're lanky.Space 1: 3ft x 3ft T-Tek tent
