Is it time to start "LST"

[ManishWayz]

I was looking at some "LST" videos and was wanting to know if it is a good time for me to start "LST" with my plant?

 

[neved]

Course...u can do that

 

[kmksrh21]

Hell yea! That plant is way ready for some LST...

 

[VX420]

YES 2 weeks ago

 

[ManishWayz]

Ok, what I have done is gave the plant a trim and I hope that I did my LST the right way. Please let me know if I'm on the right track.

 

[kmksrh21]

the LST looks good, but why did you trim?!

That disappoints me...

 

[VX420]

wow.. I hope it makes it

I have trimmed it before to allow for the nuts to do more and because I am only using 150 watt hps it helps with getting light throughout the plant.

 

[ManishWayz]

I have trimmed before and the plant grew with more force, so I am hoping that with LST it will open the plant up to more light.

You trimmed what promotes the most growth, the big beautiful fan leaves! Sure it will still grow, but you've stunted it majorly...

LST and leave all foliage and I promise you will be happy with the results...

Okay thanks, I will not trim anymore till after I harvest! I hope I didnt do to much...

Here... I'll throw up a couple of my LST'd plants... I got two I LST'd out of the five I have flowering, and no trimming was done... LST'd all through veg and now two weeks into flower...

LST'd is one bubba kush, front. And one AK47, back...

 

[ManishWayz]

That looks beautiful! I really hope I have a female!

Only a second season grower and making every possible mistake, but a general rule of gardening is to not take more than 1/3 of the foliage off a plant at one time when you're pruning. Perhaps more seasoned growers can refine the percentage for cannabis, but so far more basics have applied in my (limited) experience. Apparently another risk of pruning too much with pot is having the plant hermie.?... Fingers crossed it's only lesson and nothing more!

These pictures make baby Jesus cry.

wow. you took off all the leaves!! why would you do that?? now you have to veg an extra 2-3 weeks to get it back to a decent bud producer. my advice is to not trim any leaf unless it doesn't recieve any light at all. basically stripping it naked acomplishes nothing but stunting growth and minimizing yield.

 

[napa23]

the whole point of lst is that you don't need to trim...

 

[mugan]

this is my current LST project, i monster cropped it so it has those odd single and double segment leaves, and i still didn't trim. but its all good cuz as long as your in veg all you need is time

 

[andthatisright]

what the fk ! you are taking the piss ?

you just cut the shit clean out of the plant
