first LST

Kyfelyfe said:

This is my whack at LST training and I'm pretty sure I started early
Cause I'm noticing a slow down in growth should I keep the string tied like this or should I only do it for a couple hours then cut the string ?

Is it okay too do topping before th 6th nod?

Absolutley. Here's a nice guide to start with(you'll see he starts before the 6th node).

Here is some of my work ..

Goin for those 90° angles myself, it's a nice slow veg, but I think it will be worth it in the long runI think she's actually about due for her next haircut too

Clean that up bruh. Cut off the little shit at the bottom and cut out all the lateral branches except for the top shoot.

Now she's ready for a photo op!lol, notice not so much as a flake of freshly trimmed leaf in the coco! Wonder who I got that idea from?

Edit: spoke too soon, I see em now and have removed

Heres another tip for you.You can take that main top and gently wrap it so it cant open.This will have the effect of greatly reducing upward growth and promote bushiness instead.

I actually want it to open, those are gonna get spread to form a capital H if you look down from above, then I'm gonna strip it back from those tips, let it veg up again for a week or 2 and flower

Lol

Ok, at this point don't cut off anymore leaves. You can still cut out the lateral branches(same as suckers on a tomato plant) By keeping the leaves but not the side shoots you will get an explosion of growth towards the tops.

Check it out, this is from the 21st

And this is from today

Oops, yeah my bad, sorry op, didn't mean to Jack you a bit, your in good hands these guys know just about every possible way to train a plant that's worth knowing

When I go the LST route I use coat hanger wire and pin it down pretty good starting off center and let it make its way around the pot. Then it comes up like a bush. It's just that it takes awhile veggin to fill in.

This is just an update of the last photo but what do y'all think ? Any tips tryna make a bonsai tree style kush plant

You had a good lean goin, since you made it to your bucket edge you could have kept going in a circle around it, think spiral staircase
