hey guys im planning on experimenting with low stress training
my question is if i tie the plant around the pot i have it in , how will i water it
would i have to move the leaves out of the way because eventually it will get very bushy and i prolly wont be able to see the soil , so how will i water when there are buds on it and such
thanks

LST does create the bush effect instead of going directly vertical. But you can easily still move a leaf or two and water the plant. You dont have to put the water dirrectly on the stem, just put some all around the plant and the water will distribute itself through the soil mate

its not a problem, water in the middle ....
there wont be too many leaves at the bottom when it gets taller...as they get less light and die off

i thought it was good to water all around the soil so the water gets to all the roots

I have a hose on the end of my watering pot. Simple and easy.

Get a long neck watering can. Its an old tool but it works fine. You can easily put the tip below foliage level without over doing it or spilling if you take your time. Go to a cheapo housewares store & they are pretty cheap.

I got a short length of hosepipe and put it through a hole I made in the lid of one of my water bottles, then sealed it up with silicon on both sides. Makes a world of difference when you have a crowd of plants growing and just need to water a couple in the middle.
