Heres a room shot all lst'd execpt the smallest

i use LST , it took some time to tie down 75 plants! but i can tell you it was time well spent,every second of it, as they look great and for someone like me with space restrictions due to having so many monster plants next to each other it really opened up the plant to get light inside, as i do not believe in pruning too many leaves off. i try not to prune unlesss they want to fall off by theirselves. LST is the way to go, i also do supercropping and topping in veg, i try not to during flower

here is a update of my current grow:
1 purplekushXlemonhaze about 2 wks from chopchop
2 fem'd Nirvana WhiteWidow, one in her 2nd wk of flower and the smaller one just got put in flower.

Do I need to wait for my plants to grow more leaves/nodes before trying LST?

i would wait man, but you could start now if you feel, i started lst once while the plant only had cotydilons that was years ago though

wait until it's about 6" tall. It will be easier.

Nice bigbud going to try yourmethod with one plant and compare differences between what I have going thanks for such detailed somewhat cnfusing but very interesting Knowledge

Smokeweedeveryday

do you prefer LST over topping?

at what age should i apply LST to my plants?

my girls are 19 days old and have a small vertical space to grow in...i want to LST them ASAP...can i start with any of these yet or should i wait?

Great Guide. I will def be doing some LST when the time is right.

I like to start when they are 3-5 nodes tall. The bigger they get, the harder it can be to lst the main stalk of the plant as the risk of breaking it comes into play.

By the way thanks to everyone who kept this thread going. I ran into some trouble and have been occupied with a lot of stuff lately and just havent had the time to get on but yet again thanks to everyone!
