What's LST?

[Stonerz420]

Is it a cutting technique thing done on some branches or something that splits the plant into two colas er something? I have a female that's 83 days old, could I do this to her if it improves yeild.......... im stoned.....:stoned:

frickin school starts tommorow. :( :( :(

lst is to train the plants however you want to maximize the amount of light you have.. and it will also produce many new budsights as you can see in this picture... i topped it and tied down all the new shoots so that they run parralell to the ground, which exposes more budsights to light and then they start getting bigger.. as you can see this is not your textbook pot plant..... hope this helps.. ohh yeah and there is no cuttin involved

this is LST as well however i didnt top it as mentioned above just a strait LST
