How to Increase Yields with LST
by Nebula
Haze |
Key Takeaway: You can use LST (Low Stress Training - a technique that gently bends plants) to create multiple colas. LST also allows you to force cannabis plants to grow into a shape and size you want - even if you only have a tiny grow space!
|
Example above: All this bud is growing on a single 18" tall plant in someone's homemade grow box!
(this wouldn't be possible without LST/plant training) Introduction to Low Stress Training What is LST and what does it mean for cannabis growers? What's the difference between "low" stress training and "high"
stress training when it comes to growing cannabis plants? There are other free cannabis plant training techniques that are more "high stress" such as cutting off the top of the plant. But LST is different and will not stress your plant or slow down growth much, if at all. LST is a free, gentle & effective training technique for all cannabis plants The idea behind LST is to 'bend' and otherwise gently manipulate the plant so your plants create multiple new colas for buds to grow on. Low Stress Training also lets you produce plants that grow in the exact shape and size you want, giving indoor growers much bigger yields from the same grow lights. The LST technique can also be used on plants that are getting too tall for your setup, or are growing taller than your other cannabis plants. LST allows you to keep an even canopy and get the most from your grow lights. Benefits of Low Stress Training Bigger yields from the exact same grow lights and
setup Complete control over height, shape and size of plant Plants produce multiple colas instead of just one
This plant is about a foot tall but is engulfed in fat buds. Now take a look at the "guts" of this plant to see how this shape was achieved with LST The main stem was first bent down and away from the center of the plant, towards the side. After that, the grower continued to bend the main stem in a circle around the plant. As a result, several lower growth tips rose up to become colas with fat chunky buds, giving much bigger yields than if there was just one main cola. LST allows a better distribution of light since the the all parts of the plant (and all the buds) are about the same distance from the grow lights, so you can get more of your plant in the bud-producing "sweet spot" for your grow lights.
Colas the proper distance from your plants (in the "Sweet Spot" for your grow lights) produce the most amount of bud. Wait, what distance should my grow light be from my plants? What's the sweet spot for my particular grow light? Learn what you need to know about grow lights here: http://www.growweedeasy.com/grow-lights The percentages on the sides of the following diagram describe how much light is getting to your plants according to the Inverse Square Law of Light Intensity. As you can see, the light intensity drops off fast as you get further away from the lights! You need training to get more buds in that sweet spot. In the above diagram, you can see that the natural plant (left - completely untrained) has less parts of the plant in the best light. As a result, only the one main bud got significant yields. The rest of the buds on the natural plant are much smaller since they aren't getting nearly as much light. The trained plant (right - which has been topped and trained with LST) has many colas that are directly in the sweet spot. In fact, almost the whole plant is getting bathed in just the
right amount of light from the grow lights. This is how that plant was able to create so many huge buds - each one is close to the top of the light's "sweet spot." Why settle with just one big cola when you could have many huge colas?
Supercropping:
Explained! |
As a cannabis grower, it's up to you to learn what causes marijuana plants to produce the biggest, most potent buds possible. So I'm going to let you in on a big secret to getting the biggest, best buds when growing marijuana... While marijuana growers want to make sure that their plants survive until harvest, keeping them as absolutely healthy as possible in a 100% perfect environment without any special techniques won't get you the best results. Instead, the best buds are produced when you learn how to stress the plants in just the right way to increase yields and cannabinoid production. Learn how to "Super Crop" your plants (it's free!) |

bubbleponics).
"Growing cannabis is a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much
easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any. But whether you want to grow in water, perlite, or a different medium, we'll show you how easy it can be!"
