Hard to see why anyone that was going to grow plants to maturity wouldn't LST. I did it with one that I was pushing along and wish I'd done it with the others also as the secondary growth is unreal (for using cfl's anyway). Whereas I probably would've had just the main cola really going to town right now, I've got 26 different shoots right there growing giant monster resinous buds! Well...maybe not monsters but good bud sites non the less and they're right up in the lights instead of buried down below. It for sure works.
