A Brief Guide to LST

Ah....LST!!! Low Stress Training

LOL...Thank you for the info.

Will study further. But do have a question....

I notice in the first couple of pics that the first few sets of fan leaves have been cut off. When do I cut these fan leaves off? And do I cut them before I begin my LST?

Thank you in advance...
 
Great thread :) just wanted to note that there are many forms of LST, as well as many forms of HST :) I personally find mixing of both gives me great results. My Tutt style listed below is where I manipulated the branches, rather than the actual stem. Just a thought :)
 
Heres one I've been working on for 4 months and one i just started.

Ok this was my first take on LST, it was my Tutt girl that won POTY recently. I only topped her once and simply trained her branches out horizontally. I use plastic coated garden wire for training! Simple principle and very effective :)

Its funny at the end it looks like a circus tent with lines running everywhere.
Heres my progression into hedges.

Holy crap! That looks amazing! That is the exact way I want to LST mine. What was the yield on that thing?
 
MeCrObS :) Im trying to remember lol. She died early due to timer failing, basically got cooked in one night lol.
To be honest I cant really remember the weight sorry!!
Another girl I did with the exact same principle of LST was my BV that gave me around 15 OZ, although she had 2 nodes less that the Tutt!
Here's a pic!

Now though I have a better style all together :) please hit the link below in my sig for the Quick guide to fluxing! :)
Enjoy! :)
 
Once you know what your doing 20+ is very possible off one girl. Check S1ingblade and his journals out :)
 
Are you feeding them anything special or adding some secret ingredient? Or using a billion watt HPS? I'm still perplexed as to how you got a pound off one plant. So if I just have some standard FFOF soil & nutes and the appropriate light I can get nearly a pound from one plant if I use this flux method? Do you let them veg longer? Sorry for so many questions but I'm going to try this method on my first grow with one of my three plants and just want to make sure I'm not missing a step where you add the supergrow 5000 :grinjoint:
 
Instead of filling this thread up, if you pop over to my fluxing thread (fluxing central) we can talk a little more freely :)
