@BigSm0 so you just hook to the stem right under the cola?

I usually tie it at the first branch down from the cola. Then do the same for any more that come racing for first place. It's huge while vegging to make for a much bigger plant and in flower it helps light hit lower bid sites. More even light throughout. I actually just pulled away almost all of the branches on my 9 in flower now to help let the light in. Hate to bomb dcats thread but this is so helpful to these full plants. Sorry for all the sideways pics but this Stops that one big ass cola and makes tons of big ass colas.

I don't mind one bit @BigSm0. We're here to help each other is how I look at it.

That's awesome thanks so much for the pics. Do you ever release them? Like when everything is even?

 

[BigSm0]

Thanks dcat. yes I do atticassason. For the most part they straighten out too. I really think if a plant is getting enough light it will almost slow down. Once you start training they take off. Just look at the guys who defoliate. They pull off 80% of the fan leaves and in 10-15 days it's fuller than before.

 

[atticassason]

I agree. About what day do you start to train them?

 

[BigSm0]

Usually when they hit 10 inches or so. A lot of guys start training much earlier. I have seen some intense training in the past. Plants 4 feet wide and 8 inches tall. That's a lot of time and work but they were massive and recieved insane light through their entire life .

Thank you!! I've always wanted to try training just was always afraid to mess them up.

Day 34 on my girls. The bend/tie seems to have really helped open the bid sites and allow for extra light down low. I think I'll be doing it this way from now on. Basically a later stage LST...

Training is key in my eyes for SOME auto strains.
