No problem :jointsmile:

I start at about 5 nodes. Then tie nylon string to the plant a node or two from the top and gently bend the main stem so that the top is about parallel to the ground, no more than that. Don't tie it too tight! That first tie may be thicker than your thumb when the plant gets mature.

After a while, the top turns itself upwards towards the light, and the plant will have a slight S shape to it. Once it has grown another node or two, tie it down again. After a couple times, the new growth from the lower nodes will catch up to the top. Then you just continue to tie down the highest growth and try to make the canopy as flat and wide as possible (as long as it fits your space, lighting, etc.)

I transplant 4 times, so each time I have to untie the strings from the buckets. I actually used duct tape this time to attach the string to the bucket and it worked fine, didn't have to drill holes. I'll even cut the old strings so they don't strangle the plant and re-tie them.

In the first link in my sig there are some more explanations of LST in posts #15 and #17. Good luck and let us know how it goes :thumbsup:
bigtopsfinn Reviewed by bigtopsfinn on . Two Trainwreck's 400w HPS, LST, Closet Grow First, I have to thank Cannabis.com for the great success of my first grow. I had some problems with temps (being able to close the closet), the smell was leaking out of my apartment, and I didn't have anything to measure pH. I invested a couple hundred euros to fix these problems, and so far, everything seems to be going good. Hereā??s the list: Seeds: Feminized Trainwreck from Greenhouse Seeds Co. Flowering time is 8-9 weeks (Last grow with one of these turned out very nicely!) Rating: 5
