LST (low stress training)

[harris7]

So it doesn't interfere with the new little buds? I don't want to drag them down so they don't get light. I'm not really doubting you, I just need to be reassured

That would depend on your particular situation. You want to tie so that you can have a nice even canopy so that the light effectively illuminates the plant.
Individual buds shouldnâ??t be of concern, only the total weight of the plant.
Tying will/may reduce light intensity to some buds but have an overall benefit to the plant and to its weight.

Donâ??t worry about it

LST is a training technique to keep the plant short and expose more light to lower branches, if trained enough you can create a very even canopy and grow denser buds. you can start LST at about 3 weeks into the veg stage, make sure your plant was watered the day before or at least an hour before attempting as a dry plant will break very easily. what you want to do is secure the stalk and loop something over Rating: 5
