Low Stress Training (LST) Guide

nice what do you got them under!!

It's just one lsted plant and under t5s

Woodsmans LST Tip:
LST = Beneficial Plant Response
LST + Ideally and Equally Repetitive Training = Constant LST
Constant LST = SCROG
SCROG? Search it!

I know what scrog is and lst is different similar but different

scrog stands for sCREEN OF GREEN, but i myself consider it a form of lst but not the original form of lst.
search it

agree with mcpurp and rollbluntz, may be close but still different techniques.

Nice Rollbluntz the T5 huh how do you like it!
im going right now to check out your grow journal!!

To the OP, nice guide! Very informative

I happened to do LST to all my plants this season 1 Big Blue and 3 GDP's. I attached some flowering pics of Big Blue
More pics can been seen in my grow journal (current grow, link in sig)

Awesome plants oozie and @ hotphyre I like the t5s a ton especially for veg

Just being funny with you fellas, but to elaborate my point for you I suppose I should first agree that yes, the LST method of training is not the same training method as the SCROG or Screen of Green Method.

LST or Low Stress training certianly is not SCROG, nor does it require Scrog.

The method of Scrog does however require Low Stress Training, and my point to the crowd is that the response benefit seen in low stress training is that which is also harnessed to make SCROG possible.

Low Stress (not bending, simply the act of stressing a plant at "low" levels) results in a natural plant response. The "Training" is where this LST method was born into "Bending" as an art or "Method" of training into a larger plant with more flowering sites.

The results of Low stress training speak for them selves and is obviously the draw here. The requirements of LST are minimal other than the obvious bending of branches and thus makes this method ideal for most, including the novice and experts alike. We see a fast obvious response and all agree its a benefit.

On the other hand; A plant that is forced to grow laterally while being trained through a screen for a period of time, is being low stressed at every branch over the entire plant evenly and we see the same results. More tops, speedy growth response, directional formations according to that which it receives light from etc. though the screening is not for everyone or best suited for every scenario that you may face when growing cannabis. Personal interests, ability, time, etc. all come into factor when growing anything.

When teaching the Scrog method, I ask that folks become familiar and comfortable with the LST method first, because it is learned first when Scrogging. It is the rudimentary concept behind the entire method of SCROG.

Now thats seems to be a perfect description to me!!!

Ya i think i need one! My set-up for my veg seems a little on the weak side!

Well t5s are the way to go and they are very easy on the bill and not hot

Ya i just posted some new pics of my veg area in the grow in my sig. Well just one that shows the lights but im using 2tube 4ft flour. they are 40w bulbs one cool and one warm, with 5- 100watt CFL all cool.

im looking at a 6 tube 4ft T5

Wow a 6 tube 4 footer would be insane man It would

they have those 2x4 6 bulb setups and they hav 2x8 6 bulbers too at my shop that is

Ya i think thats the one!

Well good luck with that if u get one man post some pics

Damn man those are some good looking plants. Look a lot like mine like no lie. Thanks for post + rep

That's a good LST guide you made Bluntz...really well done!
