you mean LSD?

im guessing you have some blotter, if you don't know how strong it is just take one tab to test.

the sheet should be divided into little boxes/grid pattern. just tear off the smallest size box and put it on your tongue. leave it there for a while, till she disintegrates.

enjoy it man

No, LST means Low Stress Training, or Low Stem Training, I've heard both.

What that is basically is you gently bend, and tie down the main stem. Doing this saves space, but also allows more light to penetrate the side shoots, causing them to grow more. You get a more bonsai style plant, or more bushy.

You just tie the main stem down pretty much and over time, it will start to grow the way you bend it.

Hey Hungry,

The reason for LST, is usually because of
A- space restrictions
B- keeping a relatively uniform "bud canopy"

As was said here, you LST by tying down the plant... its stem, its secondary growths, etc. Slowly, but steadily... you tie it down more and more. It gets "trained" into these new shape/position.

I saw a pic once of a cannabis plant, with a 360degree loop in its stem. No bullshit. Just a clean cut, loop in its stem.

How early? As early as you want buddy. Just take it easy with her. Try and not "bend" or "snap" a stem. If such a thing happens, you'll go from LST to HST (High stress trainning). Not the end of the world.

Best,

There is no right or wrong way to LST. LST to your enviroment. I train to wooden posts, then I have points inside the cab itself to allow me to control the plants growth direction to maximize space and light penetration.
