Prime LST Example Here.. Short Plant, Big Buds. (Master Kush)

Best pictures and explanation of LST I've found. Thanks! My plant is twice the height of yours when you tied it down. I'm afraid I'll snap the stem. Can I ease it into the 90 degree position over a 1-2 week timeframe (it's outdoors).

Did you happen to tie down every stem or is this topped?

7 days into flower. i leave the bottoms alone and just introduce side lighting and fans for circulation. i average 10oz per plant topped twice then tied down. always works.

I did not top it at all, just an LST. Oh, and one shoot was pulled to make a clone. Other than that, she's all natural other than the LST.

Here's little MK plant. So small and nice. This pic is from 10/29:



Water her well so she's got some bendability to her.. The next day after a good watering should do. I used floral wire wrapped in a loop to go around the main branch, then anchor the wire down to the rim of the pot. I did it in two spots. After about 45 mins under the light, the tip of the plant turns up.



Now we got a nice 90° angle, I throw her into flowering. Pretty much after that I forget about the LST. Every once in a while I'd pull the main shoot down a bit so it's lower than the other shoots.. but all the shoots that would have been long stringy shoots are now all the same size and height.

Fast Forward to today (1/3) and she's almost ready.. Lots of leaves have fallen so you can see the shoots pretty clearly and how they have grown.. Each cola is almost the same size as the main big one.







See how purty?! As for size, the entire plant is 19" from the soil surface. The big main cola is 10" of that 19!! hahaa... If you are a small grower this is a good way to maximize your yield but still keep short plants!!!

Good Luck!

You are a legend , thanks dude ..
