Low Stress Training (LST) Guide

As the plants grow do i continue to LST them and adjust the hanger as they get bigger? Basically do i tie down the top during the entire cycle of veg/flower?

I use hemp twine w/ my LSTs in their later stages. At the beginning, I'll use duct tape on a large fan leaf to gently bend each main branch. These two pics are of one bagseed plant in week 6 or so of flower. It's was flowered under HID lights but is now back under CFLs for space reasons and to increase UVB light. Hope you like her :)

I'm attempting LST on one plant so far. I'll see how she looks after a couple of days. I basically just bring the top down lower than or as low as the lowest branch right .
 
I have been using LST techniques along with supercropping on 91 Chemdog and Raw Diesel for at least the last ten grows. As far as I am concerned, there is no other way to get the results from LST and supercropping together. I also grow bigger plants( I veg foe 8 weeks in 20 gallon smart pots. One 600 light per plant in my own mix of organic soil.)0 Both strains respond well and produce way more usable BUD. We started experimenting with the technology in 1977 before it had a name. I'll post pictures as soon as the lights come on.
