i lst because of height restrictions, i have no idea whether id yield more othervise, i cant test it.
but, lst should be started as soon as you can, 3-4rth node. the sooner the better.
start late and you will always lose 1 or more budsites, resulting in a less of a bush.
start too late and you will just have a plant on its side, one side getting better light yes, but half not getting any light, with the big cola being far larger than the rest.
begin early and you will have equal height, equal size buds, forming a massive bush, size and number of buds, depending on vegtime and you.
its a bit of a work, you dont just tie down and forget it.
you tie town, wait, tie down some more, wait, tie down some more. ALL the way through the veg.
in flower you continue till the stretch has stopped, then you can stop and little while later you untie them *i dont always*
if you dont do that, you are not doing lst, you are just bending your plant. |
