Cheap LST.

I think you've waited a bit late in the game to gain the full benefits of LST.
Be careful not to snap a limb off at this point. It's to my understanding you should LST early on while in new vegetative growth. This is where the idea of training the plants main stem to lay over and stay comes into play. From there you will force the plant to produce hormones that will cause extra nodes to form. Once these have formed and new branches have grown out a couple of nodes, those too can then be put under LST as well.

 

Anything that gets a productive part of the plant closer to light should be beneficial. What you got going there is a little unorthodox but should help by getting those branches closer to the side lights (hard to tell in the pic, are those all CFLs?).

What are you using there, dental floss? Get a thicker string or use pipe cleaners, something that isn't so thin that could cut into the plant.

 

YO! If you under 2 weeks into flowering i would pull that top way over. Get the other bud sites higher than the top and you will shit your self in 3 weeks when you see every single stem beef up to the same size as your cola is. Dont be sacred, do it!

 

PS definitely get that floss out of there before it decapotated your plant.

 

Been there done that.

Be careful with thin string like that. It is like a razors edge to your plants branches.

I have read that the buds actually don't need a lot of light to grow well, so I am not sure if LST this late in the game will work for you or not. Should be an interesting experiment. Keep us posted with some pics.

I like to start my LST about 2-3 weeks into the veg stage. About the same time I start fimming (3rd node). This really stimulates the lower growth. But, like I said, it should be interesting to see how your experiment turns out. I would definately get some thicker string though. One wrong move and you will lop off a bud site.

 

I would be a little scared, you don't want to snap off you're colla, but he's definitely right. The whole idea of LST is to control an environment that promotes the growth of your lower bud sights. If you get the top lower than the other buds, presto! But, you should have been doing this long ago, my friend.
