| Lucian | Hi Heed...Yeah, it is a shame Vokal disappeared hmmm about a year ago. I learned LST from him and he is a magician at it. I have yet to weave my plants but from what I remember, he bends a branch to the extreme and eventually pulls the top all the way down so it is shaped like a an upside down 'U'. So if you had two branches and you bent them towards each other, the top of each branch would be tied off near the bottom of the other...that is what that is: The top of one branch is going down and the base of the other is going up. Hope that makes sense. I still don't know he weaves such a perfect cool dome shape though, must take alot of trial and error. After the main stalk is pulled down, all the side branches shoot up as they all compete to be the main cola. These are the branches he starts to weave ino a dome by slowy pulling each branch down into a loop and tying it to the base of another. At least that is how I read it. |
I have a better understanding of his method now thanks.
But I still don't understand it completely since this is my first grow.
Why would you want to tie the top of one branch to the base of another?
What benefit do you get from bringing the base of one branch up and the top of another down?
Does a new grow tip grow from the base of each branch when you weave them?
What step does he bend the branch into an upside down U 1, 2, 3 or 4?
Also, How does he get 20-200 bud tips compared to the original 6 tips if you do lst the old fashioned way?
This is my first grow so the more detail you can explain to his method the better.
