Low Stress Training (LST) Guide

i still see what you explain as LST or super cropping either or i consider them both lst

Right on .... each case is effective .... in my example there is only one (1) bruise and bend and one (1) cut (topping) and the rest is natural growth. You have me jazzed about it again. I'll be sure to PM you when I have the pics.

It seems we have pretty much the same topping styles as well ....

i per sonly think it is best to top first then lst and top more if wanted, if you top first you just gave your self more main shoots to tie over

more pics coming tonight imgetting more creative in the way im trying to lst

its like a project got alot of great ideas from the candy cane

so be on Rollbluntz

Wow this is a great thread... I have always known about lst and how to do it but i never relized the potential it had to grow soooo many more tops sooo nice I would just like to say that this thread helped soooo many ppl and thank you alot for putting it up here.. here is a pic of my GDP at day 15 another 5 days and i am going to start tying her down

Here's a few pictures of my current grow. Just now beginning to take off.

the young ladies are looking good RB, but the soil they are in does not look so good it looks kinda hard and clay like

Yeah that soil is a little fucked. It's where we had a bad winter my maneur pile was covered in snow and frozen and it made it look like that when I mixed if with some forest floor topsoil.

i thought it kinda looked like manure

Yea I used more maneur than I usually do this time. When I transplant the plants in smaller pots, I'll transplant them into fox farms. So far though they are growing on schedule and seem to be doing fine. Gonna have me a 400w hps in a few days.

Our thread below shows about 30 good size plants that have been tied down. They were all topped one time when very small. If we're late on the bending and come across a stiff branch, we snap it down and support it. Every significant branch is tied down to holes drilled in the edge of the either the 5 or 10 gallon pot (depending on age). We have found it necessary to remove some of the inner fan leaves, as the bending can crowd several leaves together. While these plants are only around 2 feet tall, the trunk in over an inch thick on some. This is a great method of creating large plants that can still be efficiently lit with overhead lighting.

my purplekush about a wk from harvest, and 2 new WW(fem), started a lil lst on one. Had to nurse the bigger one she got a lil overwatered but looking much better now

letitgrow,
gotta say two things:
first, your purple plant there looks mighty sweet! great job and keep it up.. id be very curious to know how much dry weight that yields -
second, BIGUP for putting that lighter in there, i gotta say i cant stand when ppl post photos of buds or plants makin it look like a freakin monster when there's nothin to compare it to for relative size... now i can see that my OG Kush x Bubba K isnt doin too bad after all!! LST'd, she's got 5 heads and mid-week 6
JAHBLESS

Nice PK plant letitgrow. Gotta let us know what the final dry weight is. I'll throw up some more pics of my grow tomorrow.

Thanks guys! Looks like a bag of skittles Haha.....yeah the lighter helps to judge the size, I don't try to make it look bigger than she is.

I'm hoping for about a zip and a half from her. Her sister was twice as big and got 3.5 from Her

Hell yeah man. I'll be moving either a 250 or a 400 watt hps into my room here within the week. Gonna try and see how much i can really yield in an attic grow.

best thing I ever did was get that 400hps....
What strains are you growing rollbluntz?
