LSTing and White Widow?

Has anyone tried the LST method with White Widows? I have two WW girls that are almost three weeks old, and the stems are pretty damn stiff already. Apparently, from what I have read, I should've started LSTing earlier. I'm so scared I'm going to hurt them by trying to bend their stems! Anyone with LSTing experience?

White widow is extremely resilient and responds well to all training types. You might want to look into super cropping, that's what I do with my widows, thread is in my signiture

yeh or you could top it down low and start lsting the new tops

Totally agree with Adjorr... my last run I had 3 WW that were 4' tall in my 5' tent, and had to do heavy LST (so much so, that accidentally some of it turned into HST/supercropping, ie. broken main stems). I can totally attest that the plant is one resilient girl.

I was doing LST right up until I harvested. Just try to persuade the branches a little each day. If you bend it over, tape a pen to re-strengthen it. I literally broke a main stem 3/4 of the way through at about week four of flower, and with the tape job, I noticed no ill effects.

I just tied string to the branches, and then roped them to my pots, or anywhere else in the tent depending on which way I wanted the branches to go. At the end, it almost looked like a ScrOG

Bend those bitches over! Show 'em who's boss. All the way up to the 2nd week of flower, you'll be safe to bend them to your will.

I topped mine just above the second node and lstd from there.
