Hi all , there are many great ways to do LST Low Stress Training ....This is method I use that has good results for me. If you would like to try it just hit me up here or in my hydro journal if ya have any questions.
OK so you want to tie your ladies down hey
First make sure plants are ready to tie down
Height/Heath
Plant above is too small and has nuke problem/Deficiencies
First make sure they are healthy and about this big
About 5 or 6 inches is when i start ...and first thing i do is secure the bottom of stem....don't want to rip out the roots
Then find spot where you will begin.
Important... the first tie down is directly opposite of where you secured stem at bottom
gently place in medium and wrap hook around stem,under a leaf stem if you can...also right in between nodes is ok just watch they don't move and crush bud sites
Now where wire goes into medium you want to push that in as you adjust wire (bends easy ...any shape you want) and pull plant down a little at a time if it bends hard or you think it will snap ...Take a couple days little at a time to get it where you want it
i put mine about level to top of pot and follow the pot around as it grows i add wires making a circule around pot
After they turn back to light let them grow a few more inches before using same idea and follow edge of pot all the way around...
Here are a couple more clones with same lst
about 6 inches tall
this one also needed to be filled so cover up Anchor wire to secure stem
Let them grow a few inches and turn to follow pot edge....
always push wire in medium from bottom so you are pulling plant/stem down...dont push...cause if it slips ...it snaps
continue around the pot and tie down after it grows a few inches 3-4
What happens is all the side branches grow and you end up havening a lot of bud sites even at top
the pot starts to fill...these were veged for 12 days then put in 12/12 so going for stretch to stop at other end of pot where i started. (yellow pots)
Blue pot i will veg for another week or two. and will post more pics of these 3 as they are tied down all... and green mojo to you all
