yes i transplanted my big bud LST after 2nd day into flowering, and after my veg cycle finished i removed all clips but i have strings now in order to pull em just a lil to let light penetrate in the middle zone, look at my signature and sub i just go into flowering cycle.

I don't think I'll ever grow one and not LST it. It just works too well. It is also a great way to manage a canopy. I got a little crazy with the bean crackin this year and currently have plants in veg from 2-5 weeks.
The six two week old plants will be transplanted this weekend and tied down. The oldest plant (power kush)has been lst for 2-3 weeks now and its got bud sites all over.
My white widow is about a month old, has been tied down for less than two weeks and has produced an absurd amount of bud sites in its short time tied down. LST saved my ass on this one. The flowering time was longer than I thought, my original intentions were to veg longer, but I put it in to 12/12 today because I was happy with the way it has grown. Now it should finish before it gets too warm to grow indoors, and still produce enough buds to make it worth while.
I use pipe cleaners as tie downs. I've got 3 gal phat sacks ( hilarious name for a pot) its just a fabric pot, but the handles work well for tie down points. If I need a new tie down point I just take a razor blade and poke a hole in the pot where I want to tie it down.
I'm running a 600w in a 4x4x6.5 tent. I've got 8 plants going, most of which will be vegged roughly a month. I'm shooting for 2 zips per plant which...in theory... would yield me a lb. I think LST will get my close to my goal. I've got 2 strains that aren't notorious for their yield, but I'm hoping the other 6 will pick up the slack.

mmmmm why dont u transfer ur plant first... how would u transfer after with the strings... THO ive transfered A FLOWERING LST PLANT BEFORE... very early stages of flowering tho.. but my lst.. was like a clipper and onto the ground so i didint need to remove any part of the strings or anything.. but well i dont think it will brake or anything if u cut em before transf-ering them, just tie em after so it follows the plan.. also now that u lst ur plants ur other branches will began to grow faster , so u might want to transfer ur plan very soon, be sure ur soil is very dry so u dont have any problems of roots braking or any other shit , sory if im a bit confusing.. im very fkin high

Nice post. I love to lst my plants. Not because of height issues, but because I like having an even canopy and increased yield. Dont let a 3000 post count fool you into thinking your a noob. LST is a very effective method and will increase yeilds of nicer consistent buds vs just letting a plant go wild.
