Different strokes for different folks. LST takes too long for me. It's a lot faster to snip off a couple of spots than to tie stuff down. It has virtually the same effect when all is said and done, unless you plan to veg for a really long time.

If you want to try LST, it's very simple. You don't need big long articles and fancy explainations. Just tie your branches down and spread them out as much as possible. Keep doing it as the plant grows, and you will end up with one massive, spread out plant that could take up a whole greenhouse if you wanted it to.
