Plant training: Difference between revisions

The main concept of training a plant is to shape the canopy and stems in a way that will maximise yield, for example, the upper canopy can have fan leaves that shade bud producing stems, via training we can give these lower branches more light and airflow.This allows the plant to be more open, giving each branch more growing room and a chance to branch further.

 

LST should be applied as soon as the plant has 2 nodes as this is when it is flexible and not brittle. One of the best options with LST is to try to make the main stem grow sideways so that most of the branches aren't in the shadow of the main canopy as they would be if the canopy is directly above.

 

It may be necessary to adjust your LST every day or every two days when the plant is growing quickly
