?? I always thought it was Low Stress Training.their is another tread with this same diagram, and pics of lst, just look up low stress test
Yeah, it's how I did my very first grow, as a matter of fact I think it was those diagrams that were my inspiration. You get a row of longer colas coming from the main stalk that's been circled around the pot. Lemme see if I can find some pix. It was my first grow, I think I got about 2 zips a plant, not knowing a DAMN thing about what I was doing except for growing houseplants and things like that (I treat my houseplants pretty badly).Ok so I went to my local cannabis guru and he explained to me a method of low stress training. I have heard of tieing down the top to expose more light to the more important parts of the plant. but he also told me you can continue to tie down the plant top as it grows so it wraps around in a circle. I found a page that has the exact method he explained. It a drawn out explanation.

Check it out and if anyone is familiar with this technique. Does it work to get an all around larger yeild??
Partly, yes. The main idea is to make the main stalk hug the 'ground', so to speak, and keep the colas that form from it as even as possible. This can be difficult, given the way plants grow, but it's possible. Even if you can't keep things even, it just means a staggered harvest, which is not necessarily a bad thing.SEAMAIDEN, thank you for the pictures, that helped me out to see how the cola's will look. PAULYCALI, thank you also. So the main I dea is to direct all the main branches away from the center stem so that more light can get to the most important parts of the plant more light, thus more yeild?
I would only thin as needed, usually once they're well into flowering there is little need to do anything more than keep things cleaned up as leaves die off, and then later on tying up the branches that need help as the buds thicken up.Great answer! So you would still LST and thin and pistil whip all through flowering? Do you have a cutoff point?
I did some basic LST on my first micro run...... If you have no vertical height or plant number limitations then I would not LST......
