quick lst question...

IMO, pruning isn't needed until the stretch in flowering is over

I saw a poic on here somewhere, that showed the fan leaves taped with scotch tape. Tape the first and last fingers of the leaf together...

Or just try trimming off the individual fingers of the leaves if you really need to.

i think GreenD has it right, tie the leaves back or don't trim the whole leaf, cut it in half

it's jangel that uses twisty ties with loose nut's and bolt's as weights to LST, so, a twisty with a couple of nuts hung on the offending leaf will pull it out of your way

here's a pic from her log on GP, hope this helps

cool thanks for the info everyone, the 3 ladys are in day 2 of flowering. I will have to get some pics once i finish setting up the carbon scrubber, new exhaust fan, and replace the capacitor in my 250w ballast (only have a 150 hps in there now and 2 cfls) can't wait to see the results with 400w in a week or so. They are still very healthy looking and pretty even canopy. I'm sold on LST it has worked great so far
