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

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

 

[Jibblerjoe]

Very intresting.

 

[9fingerleafs]

Great advice. I've tried it and works very well

 

[Lotusyde]

You and me both 😀

You might be able to see in the pictures above, I think I got it right?

 

[Lotusyde]

That's badass. I'm aiming for a circle too. Idk why I said spiral.

 

[Lotusyde]

That's a good idea. Thank you

 

[Lotusyde]
