First off, what the crap is it good for?
Training a plant will help lower parts to get light and so increase yield. pretty simple.
You should always aim for a uniform distance between the canopy and the light.
Whatever parts that don't get light will be smaller and less potent. Or something like that.
If I can't get a bud to get to the top 40cm of the plant, I REMOVE IT. I consider it a waste of energy.



SO NEWBIES, WANNA BE A TRAINING MASTER LIKE ME???

Well, you can't.
And if you try too much you will probably die. No, really, you would DIE.

But you can try to start with the basic, newbs.

TO TRAIN PLANT YOU GET:
Three rubberbands
Sewing thread
THIS TUTORIAL PRINTED ON A A3 PAPER.


TRAINING PLANTS IS HARD. YOU SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO DIE SUFFERING.

If you still want try training like me you do this:

You put rubberband over the pot.
You make a lasso tie with the sewing thread.
You put lasso over the branch.
You tighten lasso.
You tie other end to the rubberband making the branch bend as much as it can without breaking.

IF PLANT BREAKS YOU FAIL HARD.
but if it still mostly intacked you can just straighten it up with a toothpick and masking tape. after 3 days if should heal.

NEVER USE FORCE, NEWBIES.


THAT IS. YOU WILL FAIL.

Yeah you only "LST'd" (though I'd call this HST) about 18 inches too late. LST is an early >90 degree bend that leads into a gradual up slope as it travels the lids perimeter. What you have there looks more like a desperate attempt at avoiding touching the weak light that got your plant to stretch like that, thankfully your stem's so weak you could accomplish such a feat. Also, sewing thread will slice into the plant tissue under even a little pressure. You're much better off with thin nylon rope (like triellis netting thin) or insulated wire - dead headphones are a great source for that.

Anyways, I hope nobody dies using your method, in all likelyhood it'll just be their plants.

some teacher,, what a shocking effort of LST on a bendy nettle. and iv found that fishing wire traces are great for lst methods

noobs beware

Training master?

im splinter

I thought I was going to learn something here. It just made me have to smoke again because you ruined my buzz. should of trained that plant a long time ago, now it is just wasting energy healing itself and figuring out what happened to it. I dont see anything making you a master trainer either.... master trainers put one plant into like a 4x4 scrog. oh yeah, and I am shredder since splinter is taken.

I will never train a plant ever again, cause I dont want to be anything like you are night. and training them is easy as hell. I might snap off a branch on purpose, then put it inside a straw with the other broken half to show that nobody ever has to die......... what a bad bad tutorial. why would I print that out?

HE MIGHT BE A REEBOK TRAINER



print it out if u run out of bogroll

really no offence intended ,, but this is quite a bad lesson

all we need now is beebop and rocksteady

1. It was 90% a joke. Thats sad how people are lacking humor today.
2. The plant have been grown in CFLs for a while without much ventilation and moved later to my main flowering room, which have proper lights and ventilation.
The strain is problematic and grows really tall, so what you see here is basicly step one of its training. in 2 weeks it should double its size and be tied down again.
3. I really just wanted to show how to just tie down plants. I know my plant is ugly xD
I just wanna even the canopy for now, not creating a SCROG-like grow as I don't have the time.
4. the sewing tread worked great in my last grow, was handy for me and didn't cause any problems. It might be able to cut stuff and so on, but it just didn't.
5. The plant is tiny, I believe it will x4 its size by the end of flowering (11-12 weeker it seems. in week 3 or 4 now) so there's a lot more to go.

You guys should start growing humor, seriously.
