i have 4 nodes so far
not sure what lst is lol
OK the way LST works is you literally tie the plant down to the side of the container causing it to form almost a loop or at least strait out to the side...it causes all the side shoots to turn into top cola's because the plant gets confused as to where its top is at so it just makes all the lower buds tops
.. if done at a young age it can increase your harvest ALOT just tie it down gently to the side after watering and then gradually over the coarse of a few day tie it lower and lower till its strait out at least or slightly lower than center.. and once you get it where you want it leave it there for a couple weeks then let it loose for a day then tie it back down for a couple weeks then let it loose for a day back and forth and you will see huge growth potential spring out of about nothing before..
lets put it this way ...my plant experiment Girls-Gone-Wild is a LST baby and out of 8 plants i have ..between topping and LST ..48 top cola's
