if i were to LST my plants but didnt have all my nodes facing upwards, would i lose bud? or would the few nodes that did make it to have more bud because there are less main branches? will i gte the same amount of bud as if i had gotten more nodes to come to top? also, will i get the same amount of bud on all the tops if they arnt exactly all the same height. what if a few were several inches below a couple main stems?

when i LST i bend the plant and leave it... let the top grow back up so your cola aint stretched out... i did LST late in grow though, after signs of sex... if you LST late and notice some leaves yellowing its normal, just the plants way to shed to improve light penetration. LST is good because all your branches stretch out and up letting them photosynthesize along the whole branch instead of each leaf fighting for sun in the shadows of an upright plant, an LST plant if done properly gets full coverage, abundant yields. We are stupid our plants are smart, just bend it and she will take care of the rest lol

Actually he did answer your question...Your branches will reach for the light. Try bending it and coming back in a few hours to check it out and you'll see how it stretched for the light and fixed itself. When you lst your plant, and the branch stretches out, it's not going to grow down, it's gonna grow towards the light so it doesn't really matter which way your nodes are facing....Like he said, just bend it and let the plant do it's thing.
