    Get bent please & thank you - First Entire LST grow

    Auto Jack - Nicole Kush - Auto diesel x Auto Ak - Grand Canyon

    Coco Loco + Perlite in 4gallon planters

    I'm getting some serious hands on LST trying to do my best Green75 impression of the dank limbo. Big thanks to Green for striking up my curiosity and showing us the ropes and ties & NebulaHaze for paving the way for so many of us.

    Well I started the whole LST super late for 3 of them, one I bent too far and i have it a temporary toothpick splint 😑 not too happy with that but o'well. I plan to spiral them into almost a complete circle and hopefully have around 20 - 25 juicy top buds per plant out of this crop.

    I previously ran 2 side by side experiments in my last grow to find the most efficient balance between LST, defoliation, & topping.

    Now after finding a good way to maintain an even canopy, I've got my eyes on the prize.

    Any LST tips & experiences welcome

    Much Love &​​​​​​ Happy growing to you all!

    Hey lotus. The title cracked me up 😂 Haha looking really good. Just a little advice. I don't know if you have noticed. But in the effort the plant makes to get straight the base of the stem gets pulled "up" damaging the roots, I found securing it in the opposite site you will fix this. I use office clips to tie to the edge without having to make holes in the pot Click image for larger versionName:	IMG_2132.JPGViews:	1Size:	4.27 MBID:	85756

      If you ever get a plant that really is to woody to bend but snaps instead try hanging a weight from it and let gravity do its thing , I had to do this with gorilla glue

      Update -
      I hope these pictures are adequate
      So the circle begins. Had I not neglected them they would all be much shorter and I don't know if I'd be making them circle back around. The one I accidentally snapped in two spots knuckled up really nice and looks happy again. And #4 is staying a shorty since I started LST young.

      Long over due update, these are 3 days away from being in their 3rd week of flowering.

      Of course the auto jack is ahead of the pack with the auto diesel x auto ak is right behind her. And lastly the grand canyon & Nicole kush are taking their time since they are photoperiods. This is my first full LST grow and I won't be doing it any other way from now on.

      I hope you're all doing amazing and enjoying the year.

        Hi Lotusyde,
        I did do some LST training on my first grow which is about to be harvested. Auto Exodus cheese strain. I LST 3 of 5 plants, left 2 of them untouched. LST does a great job of increasing yield, those stems just straighten up and the LST allows all the stems and buds to receive light. I am going to be doing all my plants in future, as it does make a difference in the yield.
