Hi everyone I am growing a Pipe Dream clone this year ( Blue dream x Acapulco gold x Cinderella 99 ) which is like 85% Sativa and I decided to try LST on it and was wondering if I am doing a decent job of it or not. I am trying to get a flat canopy and just when I think I got it right new stuff pops out and stands straight up and I am having trouble keeping the canopy flat and even. The first pic is before LST and the second pic is after tying down tons of branches.

I’m by no means an expert, but that is one flat canopy. Well done. It’ll be constant tweaking and leaf tucking, but the basic shape is there. Looks great

Looks great. Like DMC said, it's not a one and done. It's a continual process. Get it to where you want it and when new stuff pops up and gets long enough to tie.down, tie it down. Rinse and repeat.

looks great , just continue bending and tying her down and she will be a big ass bush in no time! One thing i would recommend is to clean out the bottom nodes and the bit right in the middle below the canopy to help airflow.

Thanks everyone. Another thing I was wondering is wont the ties on the branches interfere with the buds in some way?

nope shouldnt be a problem. a callus will form where the tie touches the plant most likely. bud will grow around it.
